Joint cavities are spaces in between the bones that make up a joint. Fibrous and cartilaginous joints naturally have cavities in them. The cavities are encapsulated by articular cartilage and synovial membrane. So, fibrous and cartilaginous joints would be able to perform their functions if they had joint cavities.
