This outer layer encloses the joint to provide stability and keep everything contained.
What is the fibrous capsule?
A crescent-shaped pad of cartilage that extra-cushions and stabilizes joints like the knee.

What is the coccyx?
Doing this regularly is the best way to prevent and manage weak bones and stiff joints.
What is exercise?
This smooth, protective layer covers the bone ends to prevent bone-on-bone grinding.
What is articular cartilage?
