Synovial fluid is a viscous, non-Newtonian fluid found in the cavities of synovial joints. With its yolk-like consistency (`synovial` partially derives from ovum, Latin for egg), the principal role of synovial fluid is to reduce friction between the articular cartilage of synovial joints during movement. ==Structure== The inner membrane of synov.....

The synovial membrane produces a viscid fluid called synovial fluid (synovia) which acts as a lubricant allowing the free movement of the tendon within its sheath or the structures within a joint. Synovial fluid may help to nourish the articular cartilages and is capable of absorbing micro-organisms and the cartilaginous debris which results from o...
