Synovial
sarcoma is a malignant
tumor of the
soft tissues, usually around
joints. Under the microscope the
tumor resembles
synovial
tissue (the lining
tissue of
joints).

joint fluid. The term
synovia was invented in 1520 by the Swiss
physician (and alchemist) Paracelsus who combined the Greek syn-(together) and oon (egg) to create a name for any body fluid that looked like the white of an egg.

Definition:
Synovial fluid analysis is a battery of tests performed on
synovial (
joint) fluid to help
diagnose and treat
joint-related abnormalities.

knee and passes in and out of various
tissue pouches (
bursae) throughout your
knee. A valve-like system exists between your
knee joint and the
bursa on the back of your
knee (
popliteal bursa).

Full article >>>Each of the bony
joints in the hands and wrist has a
soft tissue lining that produces a lubricating
synovial fluid. The
tendons that move the fingers,
hand and wrist slide back and forth over the wrist structures.

synovial
joints. In these
joints, the ends of the bones are covered with
cartilage, a durable substance that allows the bones to glide over each other with minimal friction and absorbs force applied to the
joints.

Full article >>>Normally only a small amount of
joint fluid (also called
synovial fluid) is found in a
joint.
Joint fluid acts as a lubricant for the
joint and cushions
joint structures. See an illustration of the
joint.

synovial fibroblast, cells that are highly sensitive to
cell shape changes and respond by inducing the expression of extracellular metalloproteases.

membrane called the
joint capsule, lined with a smoother layer called the synovium, encases the
joint architecture. The
joint capsule contains the
synovial fluid produced by the synovium.

joint,
ligaments attach bones to other bones,
tendons attach
muscles to bones,
cartilage lines and helps protect the ends of bones, and a special fluid (
synovial fluid) cushions and lubricates the structures.
Full article >>>The lining of the
joint, the synovium, becomes inflamed. It reacts by producing extra
synovial fluid, resulting in a swollen
joint. The smooth white surface of the
joint, the hyaline
cartilage, can become thin, worn, and rough.
