GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A layer of connective tissue that lines the cavities of joints, tendon sheaths, and bursae (fluid-filled sacs between tendons and bones). The synovial membrane makes synovial fluid, which has a lubricating function.

Detailed explanation-2: -Connective tissue sacs lined with synovial membranes that act as cushions in places where friction develops are called bursae. Bursae are sac-like cavities filled with fluid. Bursae facilitate movement by reducing the friction between skin and bones that is caused by the muscles and tendons moving against them.

Detailed explanation-3: -The inner layer of the joint capsule, called the synovial membrane, is composed of areolar connective tissue containing elastic fibers. The synovial membrane lines the inside of a mobile joint, specifically the inside of the fibrous capsule.

Detailed explanation-4: -Serous membranes have two layers. The parietal layers of the membranes line the walls of the body cavity (pariet-refers to a cavity wall). The visceral layer of the membrane covers the organs (the viscera). Between the parietal and visceral layers is a very thin, fluid-filled serous space, or cavity.
