  1. Structure of Synovial Joints

  2. Synovial Joint • Allows wide ROM with strength and stability • ROM determined by • Bone structure • Strength of ligaments and capsule • Size, arrangement, and action of muscles

  3. Joint structure • Joint capsule • Fibroelastic tissue that envelopes joint • Synovial membrane • Inner lining of capsule • Secretes synovial fluid • Synovial fluid • Lubricates joint • Nourishes articular cartilage

  4. Joint structure • Articular cartilage • Lines articular surfaces • Ligaments • Hold bones together • Bursae • Synovial fluid filled pouch • Cushions between bone/tendon • Tendon • Attaches muscle to bone
