rotation
what do ligaments attach
bone to bone
what do tendons attach
muscle to bone
features of a synovial joint
ligaments - hold the joint together
cartilage - covers end of bones for friction free surface
synovial membrane - releases synovial fluid to lubricate joint
bursae - fluid filled sacs which reduce friction between bones
