Synovial joints differ from the other types of joint between bones in the body because: A. they are immovable joints. B. they are slightly moveable C. the bones are joined by cartilage. D. the ends of the articulating bones are covered by hyaline cartilage.
Option D. Synovial joints differ from the other types of joint between bones in the body because the ends of the articulating bones are covered by hyaline cartilage. Hyaline cartilage is very smooth which (at the side of synovial fl uid) makes the motion of the articulating bones nearly friction free.
