A viscous substance that lubricates joints in the body, and allows two adjacent cartilage caps to glide with minimal friction upon one another.
Lubricating fluid contained within a joint, tendon sheath or bursa.
viscid lubricating fluid secreted by the membrane lining joints and tendon sheaths etc.
Fluid found in joints. Among other functions, synovial fluid provides lubrication that allows for movement.
A viscous fluid that lubricates joints and tendon sheaths
Viscous fluid secreted by the synovial membrane which the aim of lubricating the joint and as a source of nutrition
A transparent fluid which is secreted by the Synovial membrane. It is found in joint spaces, tendon sheaths and bursa.
The liquid secretion of epithelial cells in the synovial membrane lining a synovial joint, which serves as a lubricant and shock absorber.
Transparent, viscous lubricating fluid found in the joints, bursae, and tendon sheaths; a proper warm-up stimulates its secretion.
Thick, clear fluid produced by the synovial membrane and found in joint cavities.
viscous substance that lubricates joints in the body and allows two adjacent cartilage caps to glide upon one another with minimal friction.
A viscid fluid containing synovin, or mucin, and a small proportion of mineral salts. It is transparent and alkaline and resembles the white of an egg. Secreted by the synovial membrane, it is contained in joint cavities, bursae, and tendon sheaths
A fluid within the joint which assists in lubrication and nutrition of the joint.
The fluid surrounding synovial joints that makes them slippery and smooth.
the fluid produced by the synovium to nourish and lubricate the joint.
a clear, sticky fluid secreted by the synovial membrane and released into movable joints.
A substance released by the body during exercise to help lubricate the joints in order to prevent injuries.
A fluid that lubricates the joint and keeps the cartilage smooth and healthy
A lubricating fluid found at a joint. It helps reduce friction.
Lubricating fluid for joints and tendons, produced in synovium, or the inner lining of a joint.
The slippery fluid that lubricates joints and provides nutrients to the cartilage. Also known as the synovia. See the entire definition of Synovial fluid
Fluid released into movable joints by surrounding membranes. This fluid lubricates the joint and reduces friction.
A fluid that serves as a lubricant in the joints and tendons.
a secretion of synovial membranes that lubricates joints and supplies nourishment to articular cartilage.
The clear fluid that lubricates and protects a joint and its surface.
a viscous, translucent fluid found within the joints and bursa
The substance secreted by synovial membranes that lubricates joints.
a clear, sticky fluid that is released by the synovial membrane and acts as a lubricant for joints and tendons.
The fluid found in a joint.
Synovial fluid is a thick, stringy fluid found in the cavities of synovial joints. With its egg-like consistency (synovial comes from Latin for "egg"), synovial fluid reduces friction between the articular cartilage and other tissues in joints to lubricate and cushion them during movement.
