The characteristics and an example of a synovial joint in humans is:

1. Fluid filled between two joints, provides cushion - Skull bones
2. Fluid filled synovial cavity between two bones - Joint between atlas and axis
3. Lymph filled between two bones, limited movement - Gliding joint between carpals
4. Fluid cartilage between two bones, limited movements - Knee joint

Correct answer: Fluid filled synovial cavity between two bones - Joint between atlas and axis

Solution

Synovial joints have a fluid-filled synovial cavity between the articulating bones, which reduces friction and allows free movement. The atlanto-axial joint between the atlas and axis is a well-known synovial joint.
