Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The movable joint is also called a synovial joint due to the presence of lubricating fluid called synovial fluid. Synovial fluid allows the smooth movement of bones at the joints.
Detailed explanation-2: -Synovial joints are the most common type of joint in the body (see image 1). These joints are termed diarthroses, meaning they are freely mobile. A key structural characteristic for a synovial joint that is not seen at fibrous or cartilaginous joints is the presence of a joint cavity.
