skeletal system

• synovial joints are freely moveable and most limbs are synovial and consist of 2 or more bones with articular cartilage at the ends
• synovial joints also contain a synovial cavity surrounded by a synovial capsule and a synovial membrane. It secretes synovial fluid which lubricates and nourishes the joint. The capsule is held together by ligaments
• the function of the synovial joint is for movement and the the ligaments also help prevent dislocation
