In a synovial joint, cartilage is primarily found on the surfaces of the bones that articulate with each other, forming the joint. This cartilage is known as articular cartilage, and it is composed of hyaline cartilage, which provides a smooth, lubricated surface for joint movement and helps absorb shock during activities.

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.
hyaline 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.
on the epiphyses
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.
articular
Cartilage is found at the elbow joint so that the synovial fluid doesn't touches the ulna directly.

hyaline cartilage
The part of the bone primarily composed of hyaline cartilage is typically the articular cartilage, which covers the ends of bones in synovial joints. This cartilage facilitates smooth movement between bones and absorbs shock during joint activity. Additionally, hyaline cartilage is also found in the epiphyseal plates (growth plates) in growing bones.
A synovial joint can be characterised by a synovial cavity within synovial membrane encapsulating two articulating bone ends to allow for joint mobilisation. Wow how about an answer now.........Joint Cavity

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
