Joints
Junctions found between bones.
Some are fixed while other permit more movement like the ball and socket model.
Ligaments
Tough cords of tissue that connect bones on opposite sides of a joint. They restrict movement and prevent dislocation.
Synovial Joint Parts
- Cartilage
- Synovial Fluids
- Joint Capsule
Cartilage
A smooth and tough layer of tissue that covers surfaces of the bones to reduce friction between them.
Synovial Fluids
A fluid found in between the cartilage-covered surfaces to further reduce friction.
Joint Capsule
Seals the joint and keeps the synovial liquid inside.
