sünoviaalsete

Sünoviaalsete refers to tissues and structures associated with synovial joints, which are the most common type of joint in the human body. These joints, such as the knee, elbow, and hip, are characterized by the presence of a synovial membrane and the production of synovial fluid.

The synovial membrane is a specialized connective tissue lining the inner surface of the joint capsule, excluding the articular cartilage. Its primary function is to secrete synovial fluid. This fluid is a viscous, lubricating substance that nourishes the articular cartilage and reduces friction between the bones within the joint during movement.

Other sünoviaalsete structures include ligaments and tendons that stabilize the joint and facilitate movement, respectively. Bursae, which are small fluid-filled sacs, are also considered sünoviaalsete structures. They act as cushions between bones, tendons, and muscles, reducing friction and allowing for smooth gliding. Inflammation of the synovial membrane is known as synovitis, a condition that can cause pain, swelling, and stiffness in the affected joint. Conditions affecting sünoviaalsete tissues can significantly impact mobility and overall joint health.
