Synovial joint structure
Joint capsule Articular cartilage Joint cavity Ligaments Meniscus Bursa Tendon (sheaths)
Synovial joint capsule
2 membranes
Joint capsule created by two membranes
Fibrous
Synovial
Synovial joint capsule
Fibrous membrane
outside, holds capsule together, made of dense irregular CT
Synovial joint capsule
Synovial membrane
inside, secretes fluid, made of loose areolar and adipose CT
Synovial joint articular cartilage
Hyaline cartilage: covers articulating surface of bone and is smooth & slippery
reduces friction between the articulating bones and asorbs shock
Synovial joint structure
Joint cavity
The space between the articulating bones
Allows free movement of articulating bones
Contains synovial fluid
Synovial joint structure
Ligaments
Dense regular CT, holds capsule together, interconnected with fibrous membrane
Are either extra or intra capular
Structure of synovial joints
Menisci
Pads made of fibro-cartilage, lie between articular surfaces and help direct the flow of synovial fluid
