A joint is where two bones meet. Synovial joints are one of three types of joints in the body. Synovial joints are unique because they contain a fibrous joint capsule with synovial fluid.

But it’s not a feature that we share with all vertebrates. Humans, other land vertebrates, and jawed fish have synovial joints. The lubricated cavity within these joints makes them more mobile ...

Synovial fluid analysis is also known as joint fluid analysis. It helps diagnose the cause of joint inflammation. Each of the joints in the human body contains synovial fluid. This fluid is a ...

The elbow joint is a synovial hinge joint, similar to the ankle and knee joints. Two or more bones form hinge joints that move along an axis, rather than rotate like the hip joint. The distal ...

A team recently figured out certain aspects of the trajectory associated with synovial joints, stated Science Daily. Findings regarding this discovery have been published in PLOS Biology.

The efficient architecture of our joints, which allows our skeletons to be flexible and sturdy, originated among our most ancient jawed fish ancestors, according to a new study. The efficient ...

Synovial joints, the lubricated cavity that lets the bones in our shoulders, knees, and elbows slide smoothly against each other, provide freedom of movement to all vertebrates. Scientists have known ...

In a hinge joint, protective cartilage covers the bones, and a thick gel called synovial fluid lubricates them, allowing them to move without rubbing against one another. All hinge joints also ...

The centrepiece is the four-part “Synovial Joints” — I is “Hand and Wrist”; IV “Head and Neck” — which translates the movements of the synovial joints into polyrhythmic ...
