JordanArticular discs are composed of fibrocartilage, which is a combination of dense connective tissue and cartilage. They have a dense outer layer for strength and a more cartilaginous inner layer for flexibility. These discs are found in joints where they help improve the joint's stability and function.

Structural category that has an articular capsule?
Synovial joints have an articular capsule. The capsule surrounds the joint and is composed of two layers, an outer fibrous layer and an inner synovial membrane. This structure helps to contain and protect the joint while allowing for movement.
What do joints consist of?
Synivial joints have a synovial cavity between the articulating bones. This cavity is filled with synovial fluid that reduces friction at the joint, enabling the articulating bones to move freely.
What does superior articular facet articulates with what structure?
the inferior articular facet of the vertebra above it
What superior articular process of the sacrum articulate?
The superior articular process of the sacrum articulates with the inferior articular process of the last lumbar vertebra (L5) to form the lumbosacral joint.
Why is articular cartilage only found at the epiphysis?
Articular cartilage is found at the epiphysis because it provides a smooth surface for articulation within joints. It helps to reduce friction and allows for smooth movement between bones at the joint. The articular cartilage at the epiphysis is well-suited for weight-bearing and repetitive movements.
