Functionally, all synovial joints are classified as amphiarthroses since all are slightly mobile. Each synovial joint is composed of a double-layered capsule called the articular capsule. Its outer layer is the fibrous layer and the inner layer is a synovial membrane. All articulating bone surfaces in a synovial joint are covered by a thin layer of cartilage called articular cartilage. Only synovial joints house a joint cavity, a space that permits separation of the articulating bones. Lining the joint cavity is the synovial membrane which secretes synovial fluid.
