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.
