What joints in your body use synovial fluid?

In: Beauty, Human Anatomy [Edit categories]

Answer:

Synovial fluid

Synovial fluid is a thick, stringy fluid found in the cavities of synovial joints. With its egg-like consistency (synovial comes from Latin for "egg"), synovial fluid reduces friction between the articular cartilage and other tissues in joints to lubricate and cushion them during movement.
