Q

Synovial joints contain what kind of cartilage? Why?

A

They contain Articular cartilage aka Hyaline. Because it reduces friction and acts as a shock absorber.

Q

What is the function of the inner synovial membrane?

A

Secretes synovial fluid to lubricate joint, reduce friction, and some shock absorption. Has limited macropahges too.
