Within the joint, in addition to synovial fluid, other structures and tissues that are present include:
1. Articular cartilage: A smooth, slippery, and durable tissue that covers the ends of bones within the joint, helping to reduce friction and absorb shock.
2. Ligaments: Connective tissues that hold the bones together in a joint, providing stability and support.
3. Meniscus: A C-shaped piece of cartilage in the knee joint that acts as a cushion and helps to improve the fit between the bones.
4. Tendons: Connective tissues that attach muscles to bones, allowing for movement and stability around the joint.
5. Bursae: Small, fluid-filled sacs located near joints that help to reduce friction and provide cushioning between adjacent structures.
