What tissue that covers the articulating surface of a bone?

Actually it's cartilages and the synovial fluid which makes the joint movements smooth.....


What covers the joint surfaces of long bones?

reticular tissue


What is a tough fibrous membrane that covers the shaft of a long bone?

The dense fibrous tissue that covers non articulating surfaces of bone is the periosteum.


Which location we do not see hyaline cartilage?

Hyaline cartilage normal covers the articular surfaces of bones in typical synovial joints and primary cartilaginous joints. Certail joints do not have hyaline cartilage covering the bony elements. These include: 1. Fibrous Joints - skull sutures, gymphosis (teeth) and interosseus joints (radius and ulna shafts) 2. Atypical Synovial Joints (these have fibrocartilage instead of hyaline cartilage covering the bones). These include the Temporomandibular (TMJ), Acromioclavicular Joint (ACJ), Sternoclavicular Joint, and 2nd to 7th Sternocostal Joints.


What type of cartilage covers the articulating surfaces of bones?

there are 3 types of cartilage. 1Hyaline cartilage: This type of cartilage has very thin fibers having same refractive index as the matrix of the cartilage and thus these fibers are not seen. Hyaline cartilage is the articular cartilage of long bones, sternum, ribs etc. Its color is bluish white and it is flexible. 2Fibrous cartilage: This type of cartilage has numerous white fibers. It is present in the symphysis pubis, and sternoclavicular joint etc. Its color is glistening white and the appearance is opaque. 3Elastic cartilage: This type of cartilage has numerous yellow elastic fibers. It is present in the ear pinna, external auditory meatus, Eustachian tubes, and epiglottis etc. Its color is yellowish and the appearance is opaque.

Which connective tissue appears glassy and smooth?
