  2. Synovial membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synovial_membrane

    Histology of a synovial membrane. H&E stain. The synovial membrane is variable but often has two layers: [4] The outer layer, or subintima, can be of almost any type of connective tissue – fibrous (dense collagenous type), adipose (fatty; e.g. in intra-articular fat pads) or areolar (loose collagenous type).

  3. Synovial joint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synovial_joint

    The synovial cavity/joint is filled with synovial fluid. The joint capsule is made up of an outer layer of fibrous membrane, which keeps the bones together structurally, and an inner layer, the synovial membrane, which seals in the synovial fluid. They are the most common and most movable type of joint in the body of a mammal.

  4. Joint capsule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_capsule

    an outer (fibrous membrane, fibrous stratum) composed of avascular white fibrous tissue an inner ( synovial membrane , synovial stratum ) which is a secreting layer On the inside of the capsule, articular cartilage covers the end surfaces of the bones that articulate within that joint.

  5. Tissue membrane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_membrane

    The connective tissue membrane is formed solely from connective tissue. These membranes encapsulate organs, such as the kidneys, and line our movable joints. A synovial membrane is a type of connective tissue membrane that lines the cavity of a freely movable joint. For example, synovial membranes surround the joints of the shoulder, elbow, and ...

  6. Synovial fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synovial_fluid

    The inner membrane of synovial joints is called the synovial membrane and secretes synovial fluid into the joints. [3] Synovial fluid is an ultrafiltrate from blood, and contains proteins derived from the blood plasma and proteins that are produced by cells within the joint tissues. [4]

  7. Articular capsule of the knee joint - Wikipedia

    It is a thin, but strong, fibrous membrane which is strengthened in almost its entire extent by bands inseparably connected with it. Above and in front, beneath the tendon of the quadriceps femoris, it is represented only by the synovial membrane. Its chief strengthening bands are derived from the fascia lata and from the tendons surrounding ...

    The military’s moral structure is intended to help guide troops through “morally ambiguous situations,” said Marine Col. Daniel J. Haas, who commands the recruit training regiment here. “We think about this all the time,” he said.

  9. Synovial bursa - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synovial_bursa

    A synovial bursa, usually simply bursa (pl.: bursae or bursas), is a small fluid-filled sac lined by synovial membrane with an inner capillary layer of viscous synovial fluid (similar in consistency to that of a raw egg white). It provides a cushion between bones and tendons and/or muscles around a joint. This helps to reduce friction between ...
