Verified step by step guidance1
Begin by understanding the different types of joints in the human body: synovial, fibrous, and cartilaginous joints.
Recognize that synovial joints are characterized by the presence of a joint capsule, which encloses the joint cavity and contains synovial fluid.
Identify the function of the joint capsule: it provides structural support and lubrication to the joint, allowing for smooth movement.
Differentiate synovial joints from fibrous joints, which are connected by dense connective tissue and do not have a joint capsule.
Contrast synovial joints with cartilaginous joints, which are connected by cartilage and also lack a joint capsule.
