What type of joint has a joint capsule?

The bones of synovial joints are connected by the joint capsule, a fibrous structure richly supplied with blood vessels, nerves and lymphatics that encases the joint.

What type of joints are freely moving?

The six types of freely movable joint include ball and socket, saddle, hinge, condyloid, pivot and gliding. Common causes of joint pain include inflammation (pain and swelling), infection and injury.

What does the capsule of a joint contain?

The joint capsule is comprised of fibrous connective tissue and inserts into the bone near the articulating surfaces. The joint capsule contains proprioceptors that are important for joint position awareness. Tendons are bands of fibrous connective tissue that connect muscle to bones.
