(c) 1 –  Hyaline Cartilage,  2 – Fibrous Capsule,   3 – Periosteum,    4 – Synovial Cavity,    5 – Synovial Capsule

(d) 1 – Periosteum,   2 – Fibrous Capsule,   3 – Synovial Cavity,   4 – Hyaline Cartilage,   5 – Synovial Capsule

I had been asked this question during an online interview.

My question is from Classification of Joints in division Orthopaedics of Clinical Science

Answer 1

Right option is (a) 1 – Periosteum,   2 – Fibrous Capsule,   3 – Hyaline Cartilage,   4 – Synovial Cavity,    5 – Synovial Capsule

Easy explanation: The following diagram is that of a freely moving joint or the synovial joint. The Synovial Joint is held together by ligaments. It has a synovial capsule and is surrounded by fiberous capsule. The synovial fluid is filled in the synovial capsule to help reduce friction. The hyaline cartilage at the moving parts also helps reduce wear and tear of the bones.
