A joint is the\u00a0connection between two bones. It allows smooth movement. Three types of joints\u00a0are distinguished, depending on their mobility: Mobile joints\u00a0that allow large movements (knee, ankle, shoulder, elbow, hip, etc.) Semi-mobile joints\u00a0that allow small movements (like the ones joining the vertebrae). Immobile joints\u00a0that do not allow any movement (like those connecting the bones of the skull). HEALTHY MOBILE JOINTS Joint cartilage :\u00a0cartilage is a smooth, white, non-vascularized tissue\u00a0that covers and protects the bone ends\u00a0of all joints. It forms an elastic pad that\u00a0allows\u00a0joints\u00a0to absorb shock\u00a0while we move. The joint capsule\u00a0: the joint capsule surrounds and defines the joints. The synovial membrane\u00a0: the synovial membrane covers the inner face of the joint capsule. It nourishes and lubricates the joint surfaces by producing\u00a0synovial fluid.
