8468611066 | Diarthroses | Free movement —most joints belong to this type Structures are made alike in certain ways Joint capsule Made of strongest and toughest fibrous connective tissue Lined with synovial membrane Attaches to shaft of bone Ligaments connect bone to bone Joint cavity Space between bones A layer of cartilage at end of bones | 40 | |
8468655131 | Articular cartilage | Covers joint ends of bones Absorbs jolts Smooth surface = little friction | 41 | |
