what binds the articular ends of bone together
Making the world better, one answer at a time. Ligaments are used to bind the articular ends of bones together reinforcing the joint capsule. These can be thickenings in the fibrous layer of the joint capsule or accessory structures that are located outside of the joint capsule.rticular  cartilage is found on the end of long bones where they meet other  bones and this helps cushion the long bones from impact. It can  withstand enormous compressiv â¦ e forces and forms a smooth, shiny  surface which helps decrease friction within a joint.
