The four synovial joints are: Flexion, Extension, Abduction and Adduction.
Synovial joints, such as the shoulder and hip joints, have the greatest range of motion and allow for full movement. These joints are surrounded by a synovial membrane that secretes synovial fluid to lubricate and reduce friction during movement.
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
Most joints in the human body are synovial joints. Synovial joints are the most common type of joint, allowing for various types of movement due to the presence of synovial fluid. Ball and socket joints, such as the hip and shoulder joints, are a specific type of synovial joint characterized by a spherical head fitting into a cup-like socket.
Synovial joints contain synovial fluid. This fluid helps lubricate the joint, reduce friction, and provide nutrients to the joint structures. Examples of synovial joints include the knee, elbow, and shoulder joints.
Examples of synovial joints are the knee, hip, shoulder, and elbow joints. These joints are surrounded by a synovial membrane that produces synovial fluid to lubricate and nourish the joint.

All synovial joints do not have a meniscus. While many synovial joints, such as the knee, contain menisci (cartilaginous structures that provide cushioning and stability), not all synovial joints have them. Other common features of synovial joints include articular cartilage, a synovial membrane, and a joint capsule.
Synovial Membranes
Most joints in the human body are synovial joints. Synovial joints are the most common type of joint, allowing for various types of movement due to the presence of synovial fluid. Ball and socket joints, such as the hip and shoulder joints, are a specific type of synovial joint characterized by a spherical head fitting into a cup-like socket.
Synovial joints contain synovial fluid. This fluid helps lubricate the joint, reduce friction, and provide nutrients to the joint structures. Examples of synovial joints include the knee, elbow, and shoulder joints.
All synovial joints contain a joint cavity. Synovial joints differ from the other joints: Fibrous and cartilaginous joints. Synovial is different because of its structure, and includes several parts including a joint cavity.
Synovial fluid is the fluid found in synovial joints, and is secreted by the synovial membrane. The shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle are synovial joints, as are metacarpo- and metatarsophalangeal and interphalangeal joints.
Examples of synovial joints are the knee, hip, shoulder, and elbow joints. These joints are surrounded by a synovial membrane that produces synovial fluid to lubricate and nourish the joint.
Ligaments reinforce synovial joints, which are the most common type of joint in the body. These joints allow for movement between bones and are reinforced by strong ligaments that connect bone to bone. Examples of synovial joints include the knee, shoulder, and elbow joints.
Synovial fluid is found in joints in the body, specifically within the synovial cavities of synovial joints. It serves to lubricate the joints, reduce friction, and provide nutrients to the surrounding cartilage.
Fibrous joints are immovable and are held together by dense connective tissue. Cartilaginous joints allow limited movement and are connected by cartilage. Synovial joints are freely movable and contain a fluid-filled joint cavity surrounded by a joint capsule.
