The joint that contains a synovial membrane that lines the inner joint capsule is a diarthrosis. A synovial joint consists of these parts: (1) fibrous joint capsule (articular capsule), (2) synovial membrane that lines the inner surface of the joint capsule, (3) joint cavity (synovial cavity or space formed by the capsule), (4) synovial fluid, which fills the joint cavity and lubricates the joint surface, and (5) articular cartilage, which covers and pads the articulating bony surfaces. An amphiarthrosis is a partially moveable joint. A synarthrosis is an immoveable joint. Biarthrosis is not a term used to describe joints.
