Popis:	Synovial (diarthrodial) joints facilitate mobility by allowing bones to articulate with one another. In synovial joints, the bones are covered by hyaline articular cartilage: a viscoelastic tissue that cushions and thus minimizes the forces that the non-deformable bones are subjected to during load bearing. Each synovial joint contains a vascularized synovium and is enclosed by a tough fibrous capsule [1].
