6
Q
What do Bone ends determine?
A
the range of motion at a
joint
– Bony congruence
– Compare hip vs knee
7
Q
What are Synovial joints composed of?
A
- Bone ends
- Articular cartilage
- Joint capsule
- Joint cavity
– potential space - Synovial membrane
– synovial fluid filling cavity - Ligaments
8

Hyaline (articular) cartilage covers?
A
Bone ends where they artciluate
– subchondral bone

What is joint capsule composed of?
A
Outer layer of DFCT
* Inner layer of synovial
membrane
– Secretes synovial fluid
– Lubrication of joint
– Nutrients to avascular
structures
