NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -A bursa is a fluid-filled structure that is present between the skin and tendon or tendon and bone. The main function of a bursa is to reduce friction between adjacent moving structures. Bursae around the knee can be classified as those around the patella and those that occur elsewhere.

Detailed explanation-2: -Bursae are small fluid-filled sacs that can lie under a tendon, cushioning the tendon and protecting it from injury. Bursae also provide extra cushioning to adjacent structures that otherwise might rub against each other, causing wear and tear-for example, between a bone and a ligament.

Detailed explanation-3: -Bursae are fluid-filled sacs (or sac-like cavities) that exist to protect bones, tendons, and ligaments. They are lined with a connective tissue called the synovial membrane and they contain a lubricating substance called synovial fluid, which provides cushioning.

Detailed explanation-4: -A bursa is a closed, fluid-filled sac that works as a cushion and gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues of the body. The major bursae (this is the plural of bursa) are located next to the tendons near the large joints, such as in the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees.
