Types of joints based upon their structure (L to R): cartilaginous joint, fibrous joint, and synovial joint. Structural classification names and divides joints according to the type of binding tissue that connects the bones to each other. [1]
A tissue called the synovial membrane lines the joint and seals it into a joint capsule. The synovial membrane secretes a clear, sticky fluid (synovial fluid) around the joint to lubricate it.
In a joint, the ends of the bones are covered with cartilage. Cartilage is a smooth, tough, resilient, and protective tissue composed of collagen, water, and proteoglycans to reduce friction as joints move.
