Which tissues covers the ends of the bones at the joint?
Hyaline cartilage covers the ends of bones in many joints. It provides a slippery surface to reduce friction during bone movement.
What type of tissue is articular cartilage and what is it's function?
Articular cartilage or Hyaline cartilage is connective tissue made up of strong collagen fibres. It provides a protection over the ends of bone and reduces friction where the bone forms an articulation (joint), hence the name articular. It also acts as a shock absorber.
What is the main function of cartilage in an adult's body?
Calcified Cartilage provides the framework in which bone is deposited. (*source Body of Evidence science book. ((Answers in Genesis)) bodyofevidence.org*)
What are the differences between Hyaline cartilage elastic cartilage and fibrocartilage?
Fibrocartilage is found in intervertebral discs, in menisci of joints, and often occurs where tendon and ligament are joined to bones. It's main function is to reduce friction between the joints Hyaline cartilage is found lining articular surfaces, and in the nasal septum, tracheal rings, coastal cartilages, and the epiphyseal cartilage of growing bone. It has great tensile strength and provides flexible support.
Common features of synovial joints?
Common features:1. Articular cartilage - covers opposing bone surfaces.2. Joint cavity.3. Articular capsule - cavity enclosed by a double-layered articular capsule. Synovial membrane lines the capsule internally and covers all internal joint surfaces that are not hyaline cartilage.4. Synovial fluid: provides a slippery weight-bearing film that reduces friction. Also provides nourishment to the cartilage.5. Reinforcing ligaments: joints reinforced and strengthened by a number of ligaments.
What provides a smooth slippery surface over bones to help reduce friction?
cartilage
Why is cartilage necessary in the human body?
To create the jointThe cartilage provides some shock absorbent property, and the synoval fluid provides lubrication.To allow the joint to move without friction.
Why are epiphyses covered in articular cartilage?
Because that is where it comes into contact with other bones and provides a low friction protective covering allowing for smooth painless movement of joints of the bones.
Which tissues covers the ends of the bones at the joint?
Hyaline cartilage covers the ends of bones in many joints. It provides a slippery surface to reduce friction during bone movement.
What provides a cushion and prevents wear and tee in a joint?
ligaments;] cartilage A+

What type of surface provides a lot of friction?
Rough surface provides lot of friction.
The cartilage that provides support for the larynx and external ear?
elastic cartilage supports the external ear
What is the function of the pericardial fluidl?
The pericardial fluid provides some protection against shock and injury. In addition, it helps decrease friction at the outer surface of the heart.
What provides a Cushon and prevents wear in tear in a joint?
the cartilage
