Ledkapslar

Ledkapslar, also known as joint capsules, are fibrous sacs that surround synovial joints in the body. They play a crucial role in maintaining joint stability and preventing dislocation. The outer layer of the ledkapsel is composed of dense connective tissue, which provides strength and support. This layer is often reinforced by ligaments that further enhance joint stability. The inner lining of the ledkapsel is the synovial membrane, which secretes synovial fluid. This fluid acts as a lubricant, reducing friction between the articular cartilages of the bones and nourishing the cartilage. The synovial membrane also helps to absorb shock and distribute forces across the joint.

Ledkapslar are essential for the smooth and efficient movement of joints. They allow for a wide range of motion while simultaneously protecting the joint from excessive stress and injury. The health and integrity of the ledkapsel are vital for overall joint function. Conditions affecting the ledkapsel, such as inflammation or tears, can lead to pain, stiffness, and limited mobility. Understanding the structure and function of ledkapslar is important in diagnosing and treating various musculoskeletal disorders.
