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 capsule ◦ Fibroelastic tissue that envelopes joint  Synovial membrane ◦ Inner lining of capsule ◦ Secretes synovial fluid  Synovial fluid ◦ Lubricates joint ◦ Nourishes articular cartilage

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