The bones in movable joints, also known as synovial joints, are held together by ligaments, which are tough bands of connective tissue. Additionally, cartilage covers the ends of the bones to provide a smooth surface for movement and to absorb shock. Synovial fluid, produced by the synovial membrane, lubricates the joint, allowing for greater flexibility and reduced friction during movement.
