Is TMJ covered with fibrocartilage or hyaline cartilage?
The TMJ is covered with hyaline cartilage.
What cushions your joints?
Cartilage muscle
How do the cartilaginous joints move?

Bones in your joints are covered with a smooth and slippery material called?
cartilage

Do synovial joints have bones covered in hyaline cartilage?

Do cartilage and tendons hold joints together?
Yes, cartilage and tendons hold joints together.
Functions of periosteum and explain why it is not found in synovial joints?
The periosteum provides nourishment and attachment sites on bone. Since the ends of bones in synovial joints are covered in hyaline cartilage, they do not need to be covered by the protective layer of periosteum.
Which part of the bone is covered by the articular cartilage?
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.

How do cartilage bursae and synovial fluid help reduce friction in the knee joints?
Bone articulate at joints. There are several kinds of joints. The most flexible are the synovial joints, such as the knee and elbow. In these joints the ends of the bones are covered with articular cartilage. The cartilage protects the ends of the bones. Synovial fluid bathes the cartilage to provide lubrication. This is just like oil in a door hinge to keep it running smoothly. The bursa is a bag that surrounds the joint. It's job is to hold the fluid in the joint. The lining of the bursal also makes the fluid. It is a neat system to keep the joints "oiled".
