Synovial Membrane

Molecular classification: Connective Tissue, Membrane

Overview

The synovial membrane, also known as the synovium, is a specialized connective tissue that lines the inner surface of capsules in synovial joints, tendon sheaths, and bursae. It plays a crucial role in joint function by producing and regulating synovial fluid, which lubricates articular cartilage and provides nutrients to avascular tissues within the joint. Damage or inflammation of this membrane leads to conditions such as synovitis and rheumatoid arthritis.
