absorbs any compression placed on the joint, reduces friction between bones, and prevents the ends of the bones from being crushed
Actually it's cartilages and the synovial fluid which makes the joint movements smooth.....
Articular cartilage covers the joint surfaces of long bones. It is a smooth, slippery tissue that helps reduce friction and allows for smooth joint movement.
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.
The periosteum is a tough fibrous membrane that covers the shaft of a long bone. It contains blood vessels, nerves, and serves as a point of attachment for ligaments and tendons.
Articular cartilage is cartilage which covers the surface of the bone in synovial joints. Its function is to reduce friction between the bones. It is a type of cartilage called hyaline cartilage.

hyaline cartilage
Articular cartilage covers the joint surfaces of long bones. It is a smooth, slippery tissue that helps reduce friction and allows for smooth joint movement.
Cartalige
Articular cartilage, also called hyaline cartilage, is the smooth, glistening white tissue that covers the surface of all the freely moveable joints, such as the knee and shoulder, in the human body.

Epithelial Tissue are tissue that forms glands, covers surfaces and lines cavities.

The periosteum is a tough fibrous membrane that covers the shaft of a long bone. It contains blood vessels, nerves, and serves as a point of attachment for ligaments and tendons.
The connective tissue that appears to be glassy and smooth is known as hyaline cartilage. It covers the end of the long bones so as to avoid compression.
