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.
Cartilage is found at the elbow joint so that the synovial fluid doesn't touches the ulna directly.
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
Meniscus is the curved fibrous cartilage found in some synovial joints, such as the knee. Its function is to provide cushioning, stability, and support to the joint, helping to distribute weight and reduce friction during movement.
Surrounding synovial fluid
A synovial capsule is a thin, double-layered connective tissue structure that surrounds a joint. It produces synovial fluid, which lubricates the joint and nourishes the cartilage. The synovial capsule helps stabilize the joint and maintain its function.

synovial joints have synovial cavities
No, the articulating ends of bones in a synovial joint are not covered by a synovial membrane. Instead, they are covered by articular cartilage, which provides a smooth surface for movement and helps absorb shock. The synovial membrane lines the joint capsule and produces synovial fluid, which lubricates the joint and nourishes the cartilage.

The outermost part of a synovial joint is the joint capsule. This capsule is a tough, fibrous structure that surrounds the joint and helps provide stability. It also secretes synovial fluid, which lubricates the joint and nourishes the cartilage within.

Surrounding synovial fluid
Synovial fluid is the fluid found within synovial joints. It acts as a cushion to the joint. The synovial membrane secretes this fluid as a response to trauma, as it adds extra cushioning. in addition to this, the fluid reduces friction between the articular cartilage which coats the end of bones within a joint.
