The fine-pored, easily compressed articular cartilage provides animal joints with self-pressurized hydrostatic (weeping) lubrication. The solid skeletons of the cartilages press against each other, but so lightly that their rubbing is lubricated successfully by synovial fluid--a boundary lubricant too weak to lubricate ordinary bearings.
微孔细密、易于压缩的关节软骨为动物关节提供了自增压流体静力（渗液）润滑。软骨的坚实骨架相互挤压，但力度很轻，以至于它们之间的摩擦能通过滑液成功实现润滑——滑液作为一种边界润滑剂，其润滑能力太弱，无法润滑普通轴承。
