outer and convection
When core convection does not occur, a helium-rich core develops surrounded by an outer layer of hydrogen.
Although lower mass stars normally do not burn off their outer layers so rapidly, they can likewise avoid becoming red giants or red supergiants if they are in binary systems close enough so that the companion star strips off the envelope as it expands, or if they rotate rapidly enough so that convection extends all the way from the core to the surface, resulting in the absence of a separate core and envelope due to thorough mixing.

* Articular capsule: the fibrous capsule, continuous with the periosteum of articulating bones, surrounds the diarthrosis and unites the articulating bones ; the articular capsule consists of two layers-( 1 ) the outer fibrous membrane that may contain ligaments and ( 2 ) the inner synovial membrane that secretes the lubricating, shock absorbing, and joint-nourishing synovial fluid ; the articular capsule is highly innervated, but avascular ( lacking blood and lymph vessels ), and receives nutrition from the surrounding blood supply via either diffusion ( a slow process ) or by convection, a far more efficient process achieved through exercise
