Sünoviaalmembraan

Sünoviaalmembraan is a thin, transparent membrane that lines the synovial cavity, a fluid-filled space between the bones of a joint. It is composed of a single layer of fibroblasts and is responsible for the production and secretion of synovial fluid, which lubricates the joint and reduces friction between the moving parts. The sünoviaalmembraan also plays a crucial role in the repair and regeneration of the joint, as it can proliferate and form new tissue in response to injury or disease.

The sünoviaalmembraan is typically smooth and glistening, but it can become thickened, inflamed, or roughened in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis. In these cases, the membrane may produce excessive amounts of synovial fluid, leading to swelling and pain in the affected joint. Additionally, the sünoviaalmembraan can be damaged or torn during joint injuries, such as a sprain or dislocation, which can result in chronic pain and limited mobility.

The sünoviaalmembraan is an essential component of the joint, and its proper functioning is vital for normal movement and overall health. Understanding the structure and function of the sünoviaalmembraan can help in the diagnosis and treatment of joint-related conditions.
