Detailed explanation-1: -The principal role of synovial fluid is to reduce friction between the articular cartilages of synovial joints during movement.
Detailed explanation-2: -The function of synovial fluid is to lubricate the bones and reduce friction between them. It is secreted by synovial membrane.
Detailed explanation-3: -Synovial membrane. A tissue called the synovial membrane lines the joint and seals it into a joint capsule. The synovial membrane secretes a clear, sticky fluid (synovial fluid) around the joint to lubricate it.
Detailed explanation-4: -Lubricin: the most lubricating and anti-ahesive molecule in the human body. It is a surface-active mucinous glycoprotein secreted in the synovial joint and plays an important role in cartilage integrity.
Detailed explanation-5: -Its role is to produce synovial fluid. Synovial fluid: this is a yellowish oily fluid that lubricates the articulating surfaces, forms a fluid cushion between surfaces, provides nutrients for the hyaline cartilage, and absorbs debris produced by friction between joint surfaces.
