Synovial Membrane - Lines joint cavity except where cartilage covers epiphysis., Articular Capsule - Tough – protects the joint, Joint Cavity - Filled with synovial fluid – helps lubricate the joints, Articular Cartilage - Flexible and slightly spongy to act as shock absorber, Ball and socket joint - Round end of the bone (epiphysis) fits into a cup-shaped socket in the other bone, Saddle joint - Similar to condyloid joint, but surfaces are concave and convex (hollow curve, outward curve), Gliding joint - These joints allow movement over a flat surface in all directions BUT is restricted by ligaments or a bony prominence, Condyloid joint - Modified version of the ball and socket joint – bump on one bone sits in the hollow formed by another bone, Hinge joint - Allows movement in one direction only – flexion and extension. Occurs when two bones meet. ,
