What covers the joint surfaces of long bones?
reticular tissue
What tissue is a firm matrix that is heavily invaded with fibers?
This would be hyaline cartilage, the material lining the bones in the joint cavity.
What is meant by joint ligaments and cartilage?
A few animals don't have a skeleton. They are made up of cartilage, such as sharks. Our ears and nose are made up of cartilage. Cartilage is a stiff, rubbery tissue. It helps cushion bones and distributes weight evenly within the joints. There are three types of cartilage. They are articular cartilage, which covers joint surfaces, fibrocartilage, such as the small amounts of cartilage between the vertebrae in the spine, and elastic cartilage, such as the outer part of the ear. Ligaments are strong bands of connective tissue that bind bones together at the joints, such as the wrists, knees, and ankles.
What is Flexible connective tissue found in the immature skeleton epiphyseal plate and on joint surfaces?
cartilage
What covers the ends of bones in adults?
The ends of bones in adults are covered with cartilage. Cartilage is a tough yet flexible tissue that helps to protect bones and allows them to move more freely where bone meets bone (a joint). There are different types of cartilage in the body. The cartilage that covers the ends of bones at a joint is known as articular cartilage, a specific type of hyaline cartilage.
Which tissue covers only the joint surface of bones?
cartilage
What covers the joint surfaces of long bones?
reticular tissue
What is the definition for chondropathy?
Chondropathy refers to a disorder affecting the cartilage, which is the smooth, rubbery connective tissue that cushions the joints. It can result in pain, swelling, stiffness, and reduced joint function. Chondropathy can be caused by injury, overuse, or conditions such as osteoarthritis.

Person with inflammation of a joint experiences?
First of all pain and stiffness in the joint. if it is not brought under control it may lead to permanent cartilage ligament bone and muscle damage. It may eventualy lead to the deformation of the joint.
What part of your joint is slightly movable?
the cartilage is the tissue in your joints that's slightly moveable... :]
What specific kind of tissue covers each bone in a synovial joint?
Articular cartilage

What is a smooth tissue which protects the bone from wearing away?
Cartilage is a soft tissue that insulates and protects bones from one another. The wearing of knee cartilage or chondromalacia is caused by the degeneration and loss of soft cartilage tissue. Healthy cartilage protects the knee joint from such wear, and future osteo-arthritic conditions.
What is Flexible connective tissue found in the immature skeleton epiphyseal plate and on joint surfaces?
cartilage
What type of tissue damage might you expect to fine in dislocated joint?
dislocated tissue
What do you call smooth layer of connective tissue protecting the bone surfaces in a synovial joint?
articular cartilage
