(B) The ball-and-socket joint is a type of synovial joint. Synovial joints are characterized by the presence of a fluid-filled synovial cavity between the articulating surfaces of the two bones. The synovial membrane secretes a viscous,lubricating fluid known as synovial fluid. This fluid reduces friction at the joint,allowing for smooth movement of the bones.
