What is cartilage at the ends of bones is kept-slippery using this substance called?

The cartilage at the ends of bones is kept slippery by a substance called synovial fluid. Synovial fluid acts as a lubricant, reducing friction between the surfaces of joints during movement.


What is the name of the material that covers the end of bones to reduce friction at joint?

The material that covers the end of bones to reduce friction at joints is called articular cartilage. This smooth, slippery tissue helps cushion the ends of bones and allows them to move smoothly against each other in the joint.


What is the study of joints called?

The study of the anatomy, physiology and management of joints is called arthrology. The term arthro refers to joints.


What are the ends of bones covered with?

The ends of bones are covered with a layer of smooth, shiny cartilage called articular cartilage. This cartilage helps reduce friction and absorb shock in joints, allowing for smooth movement and flexibility.


What is the tissue that provides smooth surface in joints?

Joints may be synovial (with a cavity) or fibrous. Synovial joints are filled with synovial fluid. Fibrous joints lack this. Fibrous joints are found in between the vertebrae. Cartilage in is both joints. This can be hylaine or fibrocartilage. Both regenerate. The synovial fluid is rather slippery and allows easy movement in those joints. If this joint is suddenly and rapidly pulled, the fluid doesn't fill quickly and a "snapping" sound is heard.

What are the ends of bones covered with and why?

The end of bones are covered with a smooth, slippery, thick layer of tissue called CARTILAGE.WHY?Because it is flexible and important in joints because it acts as a shock absorber.It also makes movement easier. HOW? (how does it make movement easier?)By reducing friction that would be caused by bones rubbing together.Also a special tissue called Periosteum
