1.9 Describe the structure of synovial joints

Synovial joints have the following structures:

Articular Cartilage: Covers the ends of bones, reducing friction and absorbing shock.
Synovial Membrane: Lines the joint capsule and produces synovial fluid.
Synovial Fluid: Lubricates the joint, reducing friction.
Joint Capsule: A fibrous tissue that encloses the joint.
Ligaments: Connect bone to bone, providing stability.
Menisci: C-shaped cartilage in certain joints (e.g., knee), improving fit between bones and providing cushioning.
Bursae: Fluid-filled sacs that reduce friction between tendons and bone
