Articular cartilage covers the ends of bones in synovial joints, providing a smooth surface for them to glide against each other. It helps reduce friction and absorb shock during movements.
bones do not connect each other, they are connected by ligaments.
Ligaments connect bone to bone, tendons connect muscle to bone.

What joint is characterized by cartilage connecting the bony portions?
A cartilaginous joint is characterized by cartilage connecting the bony portions, allowing for slight movement. This type of joint provides flexibility and support without as much mobility as a synovial joint. An example of a cartilaginous joint is the pubic symphysis in the pelvis.
What are the bony landmarks of the clavicle?
The bony landmarks of the clavicle include the acromial end (which articulates with the acromion of the scapula), the sternal end (which articulates with the sternum), and the conoid tubercle and trapezoid line (which serve as attachment sites for ligaments).
What bony projections is smooth in order to articulate with another bone?
Articular surfaces of bones are smooth bony projections that are designed to articulate with another bone, forming a joint. These surfaces are covered with cartilage to reduce friction and allow for smooth movement. Examples include the femoral head articulating with the acetabulum in the hip joint.
What structure separates the temporal bone from the parietal bones?
The squamous suture separates the temporal bone from the parietal bones. It is a bony joint that connects these two skull bones together.
Which part of the body is the SI joint located?
The SI joint, also known as the sacroiliac joint, is located in the pelvis. It connects the sacrum (the triangular bone at the base of the spine) to the ilium (the large, wing-shaped bone in the pelvis).
What type of joint is characterized by cartilage connecting the bony portions?
Knee cap

What type of cartilage covers the opposing bony surfaces in a synovial joint?
hyaline cartilage
In bony thorax what is coastal cartilage?
It's the non-bony extension (continuation) of the ribs, that connects the ribs and the sternum (breast bone), thus forming a complete framework for the thoracic space.
What joint is in the ankle?
ankle joint or talocrural joint. this is a weight bearing joint. it connects the leg and foot.anatomically it is a hinge joint.stucturally it is a synovial joint.functionally it is an uniaxial joint.bones taking part: proximally: lower end of tibia and fibula.articulating surfaces of the malleoli.inferior transverse tibiofibular ligament.distally: superior, medial, and lateral articular surfaces of the talus.the articular bony surfaces are covered by hyaline cartilage.
Freely moveable joint?
A joint in which the opposing bony surfaces are covered with a layer of hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage and in which some degree of free movement is possible.
What are the bony landmarks of the clavicle?
The bony landmarks of the clavicle include the acromial end (which articulates with the acromion of the scapula), the sternal end (which articulates with the sternum), and the conoid tubercle and trapezoid line (which serve as attachment sites for ligaments).
Is a trout a cartilage fish?
No, they are bony fishes.
Are sharks bony?
No sharks are not 'bony'. The skeletal makeup of sharks is cartilage. Although cartilage is dense and can be bone-like it is significantly less dense than bone.
Is tuna a bony fish or cartilaginous fish?
bony; the only cartilaginous fish currently in existence are sharks, skates, and rays.

Articular surfaces of bones are smooth bony projections that are designed to articulate with another bone, forming a joint. These surfaces are covered with cartilage to reduce friction and allow for smooth movement. Examples include the femoral head articulating with the acetabulum in the hip joint.
What are the symptoms of chondromalacia?
Chondromalacia can affect any joint, but the most common location is inside the knee. It usually begins as a small area of softened cartilage behind the kneecap (patella) that can be painful. Eventually, more of the cartilage softens, and the softened cartilage can crack or shred into a mass of fibers. In severe cases, the damaged cartilage can wear away completely, down to the undersurface of the kneecap. If this happens, the exposed kneecap's bony surface can grind painfully against other knee bones. Also, bits of cartilage can float inside the joint, further irritating the cells that line the joint. In response, these cells produce fluid inside the joint (called a joint effusion).
