Question

what movements do synovial joints allow

Answer 1

Explanation:

Synovial joints allow bones to slide past each other or to rotate around each other. This produces movements called abduction (away), adduction (towards), extension (open), flexion (close), and rotation. There are six types of synovial joints.

Answer 2

Explanation:

In Synovial Joint, the ends of articulating bones are covered with aa thin layer of cartilage. The entire Joint is covered with a tough synovial capsule. The cavity of the Capsule contains Synovial Fluid. Synovial Fluid acts as a lubricant to reduce friction between the bones.Synovial Joint is further reinforced by strong and elastic ligaments outside the synovial capsule. These ligaments help in bringing the articulating bones back to their normal position after movement.
