Question

gliding joint disorder and its prevention

Answer 1

he basic structure of synovial joints provides flexibility to gliding joints while limiting their movements in order to prevent injury. Synovial membrane lining the joint capsule produces oily synovial fluid to lubricate the joint and reduce friction. The fibrous joint capsule and its associated ligaments hold the bones together, limiting the extent to which they can glide and preventing dislocation. Articular cartilage between the bones provides a smooth, rubbery surface that both aids in the gliding motion and acts as a shock absorber during impacts to the bones.
