Fibrocartilage joints (intervertebral disc) Synovial joints= high mobility and low strength. Allow for movement in multiple directions. Articular cartilage: cartilage covering the articulating surfaces of a synovial joint. It is a special type of cartilage, resembling hyaline cartilage but lacking perichondrium. Fibrous joint capsule: outermost covering of a joint, made up of dense connective tissue. The fibrous capsule provides stability to a joint.
