It keeps the bones slightly apart, protecting their cartilage coverings from wear and tear
It absorbs shocks, again protecting the cartilage
It lubricates the joint, helping it to work freely and easily
It acts as a filter, letting nutrients reach the cartilage, but blocking the passage of harmful cells and substances

reducing friction by lubricating the joint, absorbing shocks, and supplying oxygen and
nutrients to and removing carbon dioxide and metabolic wastes from the chondrocytes
within articular cartilage.

What are the functions of joint cavity?
The Joint Cavity is the space or scientifically a 'potential' space filled with synovial fluid. The function of this fuild is to reduce friction by lubricationg the joint.
What structure produces synovial fluid?
Te Synovial Membrane
Fluid that makes joint movement possible?
Joint fluid analysis, also called synovial fluid analysis
What is weeping lubrication caused by in the synovial joint?
Synovial fluid
Which joints contain joint fluid?
All joints have a membrane called the synovial membrane. It contains synovial fluid; therefore, all joints contain a fluid.synovial Joint

What is synoxial fluid?
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.
What is the fluid that is found in some joints to reduce friction?

What is the main pourpouse of a synovial fluid?
Lubrication of the joint is probably the main purpose of synovial fluid.
Where can one learn more about synovial fluid?
Synovial fluid is a type of fluid that can be found in the body's joints. Information on synovial fluid can be found at medical websites including Web MB and Mayo Clinic.
What is weeping lubrication caused by in the synovial joint?
Synovial fluid
What is the function of synonvial fluid?
The function of synovial fluid is to reduce friction between the articular cartilage of synovial joints during movement. Synovial fluid has an egg yolk-like consistency.
