Ligaments are used to bind the articular ends of bones together reinforcing the joint capsule. These can be thickenings in the fibrous layer of the joint capsule or accessory structures that are located outside of the joint capsule.

Common features of synovial joints?

Common features:1. Articular cartilage - covers opposing bone surfaces.2. Joint cavity.3. Articular capsule - cavity enclosed by a double-layered articular capsule. Synovial membrane lines the capsule internally and covers all internal joint surfaces that are not hyaline cartilage.4. Synovial fluid: provides a slippery weight-bearing film that reduces friction. Also provides nourishment to the cartilage.5. Reinforcing ligaments: joints reinforced and strengthened by a number of ligaments.


What joints a capsule with synovial fluid?

Synovial - the articulating bone ends are covered with articular cartilage, and enclosed within an articular capsule that is typically reinforced by ligaments externally. Internally the fibrous capsule is lined with a smooth synovial membrane that secretes synovial fluid.


Articular cartilage receives oxygen and nutrients from?

Surrounding synovial fluid


Structure of a typical synovial joint?

Characteristics ALWAYS associated with synovial joints: synovial fluid, articular cartilage, articular capsule, synovial membrane, capsular ligaments, blood vessels, and sensory nerves. Characteristics SOMETIMES associated with synovial joints: intraarticular disc or mensici, peripheral labrum, fat pads, and synovial plicae


Name 6 synovial joints and where they are?

State the types of synovial joints and their locationThe basic structure of a synovial joint consists of a synovial cavity articular cartilage, a fibrous articular capsule, and ligaments. The synovial cavity (also called joint cavity) is the space between two articulating bones. The articular cartilage covers and protects the bone ends. The articular cartilage also acts as a shock absorber. The articular capsule encloses the joint structure. It consists of an outer layer, the fibrous membrane, and an inner lining, the synovial membrane. Ligaments are fibrous thickenings of the articular capsule that help provide stability

Structural category that has an articular capsule?

Synovial joints have an articular capsule. The capsule surrounds the joint and is composed of two layers, an outer fibrous layer and an inner synovial membrane. This structure helps to contain and protect the joint while allowing for movement.


What joints a capsule with synovial fluid?

Synovial - the articulating bone ends are covered with articular cartilage, and enclosed within an articular capsule that is typically reinforced by ligaments externally. Internally the fibrous capsule is lined with a smooth synovial membrane that secretes synovial fluid.


What do joints consist of?

Synivial joints have a synovial cavity between the articulating bones. This cavity is filled with synovial fluid that reduces friction at the joint, enabling the articulating bones to move freely.


What is the function of articular cartridge?

The Articular Capsule is a tought, flexible and fibrous capsule that covers the joint cavity. It is there to support and protect the joint.

What developments associated with juvenile arthritis interfere with movement in the joint?

cartilage along the articular surfaces of the bones may be attacked and destroyed, and the bone, articular capsule, and ligaments may begin to be worn away (eroded).


What is the articular capsule Effect of weight bearing cardiovascular exercise?

The articular capsule effect of weight bearing cardiovascular exercise has positive and negative effects. The positive effects on the bones prevents osteoporosis. The negative effects of weight bearing exercise affects estrogen levels in women leading to female athletic triad.

Are the most fibrous joints joined by joint cavity?

Synovial joints have a fibrous articular capsule lined with synovial membrane surrounding a joint cavity.
