Solution
The correct option is B Synovial membrane
- Joints are points of contact between bones, or between bones and cartilages.
- Synovial joints are characterized by the presence of a fluid-filled synovial cavity between the articulating surfaces of the two bones. These joints help in locomotion and many other movements.
- The synovial cavity is covered by the synovial membrane which secretes a watery fluid called synovial fluid for the lubricating and cushioning joint.
- So, the correct answer is 'Synovial membrane'.
