Joint Capsule Diagram. On top of these bones are the ligaments that surround the joint capsule. Fibrous layer outer consists of white fibrous tissue known the capsular ligament.
The bones are held together by a joint capsule which consists of two distinct layers an outer layer of dense connective tissue and an inner membrane called the synovium which secretes a fluid to lubricate the joint. These joints are found in our shoulder joint neck joint knee joint wrist joint etc. The outer layer of the capsule is attached to the ends of the bones and is supported by these ligaments and tendons.
Its inner surface is lined with a synovial membrane bounding the synovial cavity of the joint.
It holds together the articulating bones and supports the underlying synovium. These contribute together with the subscapularis. Femur is the largest bone of our body which meets the tibia or. Synovial joints are flexible movable can slide over one another rotatable and so on.
