Study Notes

Synovium

The term 'synovium' refers to the thin membrane that lines the inner surface of the joint capsule, surrounding the joint cavity.
The synovium consists of two layers: the intima, which is in contact with the synovial fluid, and the subtima, which is composed of loose connective tissue.
The normal synovium maintains a delicate balance of mechanisms within the joint, including the production and absorption of synovial fluid, and the regulation of the joints' immune response.
It is important to understand the normal structure and function of the synovium before appreciating the changes that occur in the synovial membrane in response to disease or injury.
The paper describes the normal synovium as a specialized tissue that is essential for maintaining joint health and function.
