Synovial Joint


A joint - a place where 2 or more bones meet.
At a joint the bones are held together by tough sheets of elastic fibres called ligaments.
A synovial joint is a joint which has a cavity filled with fluid.
Synovial membrane - secretes synovial fluid into synovial cavity.
Cartilage - cushions joints, absorbs shock and reduces friction between ends of bones.
