Explanation / Answer

The opposing surfaces of bones that are connected via synovial joints, are covered with a thin layer of articular cartilage which serves to reduce the forces on the bone surface and provide a smooth surface for the movement of bones against one another.

Between the articular surfaces, a thin cavity is filled with synovial membrane, which acts to lubricate the joint surface and nourish the tissues of the internal joint surface.

Maintaining a boundary of joint and thus containing the synovial fluid is the joint capsule.

The outermost layer of the joint capsule is the fibrous capsule, which is continuous with the periosteum, and provides support to the joint.

The deeper portion of the capsule is the synovial membrane, which contains cells that synthesize the synovial fluid and remove waste products from the cavity.

In many synovial joints, portions of the synovial capsule grow inward and differentiate into fibrocartilage in order to form additional padding and in some cases stability to the joint as in the case of the meniscus of the knees.
