Synovial membrane
The synovial membrane, also known as the synovial layer or synovium, is a specialized connective tissue that aligns the inner surface of the capsules of the synovial joints and tendon sheath and produces synovial fluid, which has lubrication function.
The synovial membrane is in direct contact with the fibrous membrane on the outer surface and with the synovial fluid on the inner surface. There are many synovial cells in contact with the synovial fluid, which have a role in maintaining the fluid, eliminating wear and tear, and producing hyaluronic acid and other extracellular components in the synovial fluid.
The synovial membrane works to maintain optimal joint conditions by providing a pathway that facilitates the exchange of nutrients and metabolic by-products between blood and synovial tissues, including joint cartilage.
The optimal supply of oxygen in the joint tissues serves to maintain the normal composition of the synovial fluid and supports chondrocyte metabolism.
