Hemodynamics - Blood and its composition. 1  Blood is a complex liquid. Blood is composed of plasma and formed elements. 2  Normal blood plasma behaves like a Newtonian fluid at physiological rates of shear. 3  The osmotic pressure of solution is determined by the number of particles present and by the temperature.
A synovial joint, also known as diarthrosis, is the most common and most movable type of joint in the body of a mammal. As with most other joints, synovial joints achieve movement at the point of contact of the articulating bones.Structural and functional differences distinguish synovial joints from cartilaginous joints (synchondroses and symphyses) and fibrous joints (sutures, gomphoses, and syndesmoses). Articular cartilage: the bones of a synovial joint are covered by this layer of hyaline cartilage that lines the epiphyses of joint end of bone with a smooth, slippery surface that does not bind them together; articular cartilage functions to absorb shock and reduce friction during movement.
  Synovial joints allow for movement between the articulating bones (in this case the sternum and the clavicle). The articulating bones are covered in articular cartilage, â¦ which are connected with ligaments and lined with a synovial membrane.There is a fluid-filled sac between these types of joints to reduce the amount of friction with movement and the fluid inside of these sacs is called synovial fluid.he synovial joint is so called because the gap formed by the two articulating bones contains synovial fluid, which is a clear viscous fluid which lubricates the joints (as we â¦ ll as the sheaths of tendons) to reduce wear and tear. 2 people found this useful.
