a thin membrane in synovial (freely moving) joints that lines the point capsule and secretes synovial fluid
A thin membrane that lines a joint and releases a fluid that allows the joint to move easily.
A soft tissue present in varying quantities in normal healthy joints. It produces synnovial fluid, a biological lubricant.
The tissue (cellophane-like) that surrounds and protects the joints. The synovial fluid that lubricates and nourishes the joints are produced by the synovium.
The membranes that surround the joints.
a fibrous envelope that produces a fluid to help to reduce friction and wear in a joint.
A thin layer of connective tissue with a free smooth surface that lines the capsule of a joint. Synovial fluid lubricates and facilitates movement of the joint.
The specialized connective tissue layer that lines the inside of the synovial capsule and varies in thickness and density.
the inner layer of the capsule that produces synovial fluid.
A thin membrane inside the joint capsule
A tissue that surrounds and protects the joints. It produces synovial fluid that nourishes and lubricates the joints.
A synovial membrane; fibrous envelop that produces a fluid to help reduce friction and wear in a joint.
Refers to the lining of the joint.
The tissue that lines the inside of the joints and produces synovial fluid, which lubricates and nourishes the joints.
a thin membrane lining joint capsules that produces synovial fluid
A membrane that lines the tough layers surrounding a joint or tendon.
Tissues that produce fluid to prevent wear in joints.
Inflammation of the lining in spinal joints. BACK
Synovium is the soft tissue which lines the non-cartilaginous surfaces within joints with cavities (synovial joints). The word synovium comes from a Latin word meaning "with egg," because the synovial fluid in joints that have a cavity between the bearing surfaces is like egg white.
