Fill in the blanks: The articulating ends of bones of synovial joints are covered in ________. The remaining internal surfaces of the joint are lined by the ________, which produces synovial fluid. The entire joint is encased by the ________, which is composed of dense irregular collagenous connective tissue
Discuss the similarities in function of the articular capsule and the capsular ligaments of a joint. And, discuss the structural differences between the two related to connective tissue types.
We are focusing mainly on synovial joints, because this is the main type of joint that allows you to move your body.
Using the diagram below, match the synovial joint structure with its description:

He answered, “I feel good, except that some of my joints ache and are stiff, especially my knees and hips and lower back, and especially when I wake up in the morning.” A series of X-ray studies and an MRI scan taken a few weeks earlier showed that the articular cartilages of these joints were rough and flaking off and that bone spurs were present at the ends of some of Jim’s bones.
