To cusion the bones from rubbing and smacking on each other. It also allows gliding motions.
The main function of the articular cartilage is to provide a smooth surface where the bones connect and touch. It also lubricates that area and makes sure there is low friction.

The articular cartilage is the thin layer of white tissue covering the bone in the joint space. The articular cartilage is made of hyaline cartilage.
You are referring to the articular cartilage. It is a smooth, shiny, white tissue that covers the ends of bones within joints. Its primary function is to reduce friction and provide a smooth surface for movement in the joint.
The smooth cartilage that surrounds the surface of bones at joints is called articular cartilage. It acts as a cushion and reduces friction between bones during movement, helping to facilitate smooth joint motion.
Articulare cartilage is hyaline cartilage and it is a milky color.

Intra-articular pathology would be disease of the articular cartilage and would encompass arthritis, cartilage erosion, neoplasia and developmental disorders of cartilage and subarticular bone.
