Q
What is needed to be classified as a Synovial Joint?
A
- Enclosed by fibrous joint capsule
- Joint capes enclosed joint cavity
- Joint cavity lined with synovial membrane
- Synovial fluid in the cavity
- Articulating surfaces covered by hyaline cartilage, helping with the reduction of friction and absorption of shock
