Question

Describe the structure of synovial joint with the help of a neat labelled diagram.

Answer 1

When the two bones are joined with the help of connective tissues which allows the movement of the bones is known as the synovial joint. This is a joint which is present between the long bones. The two bones are held with the help of fibrous tissue of the ligament. There is a presence of articular cartilage at the end of the long bones. There is a capsular structure formed by the synovial membrane. This capsule or the cavity is filled with the synovial fluid which prevents friction between the cartilage. These are the type of joints which are present in the different parts of the body which allows the bones to move and the organism can perform functions like locomotion.
