BY JACOB WOODS 12G Synovial Joints Synovial joints are characterised by a layer of synovial fluid surrounding the articulating surfaces. This helps to lubricate the cartilage therefore reducing the friction between the joints. The synovial capsule stores the fluid‚ meaning it can lubricate the joint quickly. There are 5 types of synovial joint. They are as follows. Ball and socket joint Spheroidal joints to give them their technical name are joints that include two articular surfaces; a ball

Shoulder Joint Anatomy Shoulder joint is a complex multi-dimension joint in the human body‚ also known as the “ball-and-socket”. The fact behind the label of this joint that it’s very mobile and it can be easily injured.

ability to physically move‚ by using the muscles and skeletal system. It consists of the muscular system and the human skeleton. Bones are connected to each other at the joints by ligaments or cartilage and skeletal muscle is attached to bones‚ usually by tendons. Bones mass or density is lost as people age‚ especially in women after menopause. The bone loses calcium and other minerals. Bone is a constantly changing tissue that has several functions. Bones serve as rigid structures to the body and
