Synovial joints are comprised of six main properties: Articular cartilage, Joint cavity, articular capsule, Synovial fluid, reinforcing ligaments, and Nerves and blood vessels. The primary function of articular cartilage is to cushion the joint which in turn prevents damage to the bones. Joint Cavity is the space in-between the bones that contains a small amount of synovial fluid. The articular capsule is made up of dense irregular tissue, which strengthens the joint as well as preventing the bones from pulling apart. Synovial fluid is found in all the free spaces within the joint capsule. The fluid is made up mostly of blood flowing through the capillaries of the synovial membrane. Synovial fluid provides cartilage with a slippery surface which helps to reduce friction between cartilages. Reinforcing ligaments are comprised of Capsular ligaments, which are the thickened parts of the fibrous layer. Sensory nerves are abundant in synovial joints. Sensing pain and monitoring joint position are some of the functions of sensory nerves. One of the other joints used on the rock wall is the temporomandibular joint otherwise known as the jaw joint. The jaw joint accounts for the hinge like movement of the mandible. To parts of the jaw joint collaborate to move the jaw. The first part the inferior compartment permits the condyler process of the mandible to rotate which causes the opening and closing of the mouth. The second part the superior compartment lets the condylar process move forward where it rests against the articular tubercle when the mouth opens wide. On the rock wall I would use this joint any time I talk to
