GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Hyaline cartilage forms the articular cartilage, covering the entire articulating surface of each bone. The articular cartilage and the synovial membrane are continuous. A few synovial joints of the body have a fibrocartilage structure located between the articulating bones.

Detailed explanation-2: -The bones of a synovial joint are covered by a layer of hyaline cartilage that lines the epiphyses of joint ends of bone with a smooth, slippery surface that does not bind them together. This articular cartilage functions to absorb shock and reduce friction during movement.

Detailed explanation-3: -At synovial joints, the articular surfaces of bones are covered with smooth articular cartilage.
