The joint that is fully movable is a synovial joint.
Synovial joints offer the greatest range of motion. According to the reference material, these joints are characterized by:
- A cavity in one bone where another bone fits.
- Hyaline cartilage covering the ends of the bones, providing a smooth surface.
- A synovial membrane that lubricates and protects the joint with fluid. (18-Jul-2023)
Here is a table summarizing the key features of synovial joints:
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Structure | Cavity where one bone fits into another |
| Cartilage | Hyaline cartilage covers bone ends |
| Membrane | Synovial membrane with lubricating fluid |
| Range of Motion | Most freedom of movement |
