Articular cartilages are nourished primarily through synovial fluid, which is produced by the synovial membrane lining the joint capsule. This fluid provides essential nutrients and facilitates the exchange of waste products. Additionally, since articular cartilage lacks a direct blood supply, the compressive forces during joint movement help to draw the synovial fluid into the cartilage, enhancing its nourishment and maintaining its health.

Where do the articular cartilages arise from?
Articular (AKA Hyaline) cartilage is formed from condensed mesenchyme tissue, which differentiates into chrondrocytes and begins secreting extracellular matrix.
How does articular cartilages differ from other cartilages in the body?
Articular cartilage is a specific type of hyaline cartilage that covers the surfaces of bones within joints. It is uniquely designed to provide a smooth and lubricated surface for low-friction movement within joints. Unlike other types of cartilage, articular cartilage lacks blood vessels, nerves, and a direct blood supply, making it less capable of self-repair.
Articular cartilages of what joints are rough and flaking off with bone spurs at the ends?
The most common for this condition is at the tibiofemoral joint (knee).
What arthritis is an age-related erosion of articular cartilages and formation of painful bony spurs?
Age-related erosion of articular cartilages and formation of painful bony spurs are characteristic of ostoearthrosis, sometimes called arthrosis. It is colloquially known as arthritis, which is misleading, because arthritis is a class of diseases with articular inflammation, the archetype of which is rheumatoid arthritis. The four radiological signs of arthrosis are asymmetrical joint space loss, bony spurs, subchondral sclerosis and geodes (holes in the underlying bone). Chondrocalcinosis and cartilagenous loss, and articular malalignment are other signs. Although arthrosis is usually age related, a number of other causes are recognized, such as trauma and occupational arthrosis.

Definition of joint cavity?
a joint cavity, the potential space bounded by the synovial membrane and articular cartilages of all synovial joints. Normally, the articular cavity contains only sufficient synovial fluid to lubricate the internal surfaces.
