Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The pads of fibrocartilage located between the articulating ends of bones in some diarthroses are called menisci. Ligaments are tough bands of fibrous connective tissue that connect bones to other bones. Bursae are fluid-filled sacs that cushion and reduce friction between moving structures like tendons, muscles, and bones. Synovial membranes line the joint capsules that surround and enclose synovial joints.
