Detailed explanation-1: -Bursae: small fluid-filled sacs lined by a synovial membrane with an inner capillary layer of synovial fluid. It provides a cushion between bones and tendons and/or muscles around a joint. This helps to reduce friction between the bones and allows free movement.

Detailed explanation-2: -The synovial joint is characterized by its mobility, as these joints are able to move freely in multiple planes. A synovial joint consists of two bony surfaces that are encompassed by a fibrous capsule with a synovial lining.

Detailed explanation-3: -Synovial fluid, also known as joint fluid, is a thick liquid located between your joints. The fluid cushions the ends of bones and reduces friction when you move your joints.

Detailed explanation-4: -Articular cartilage ensures smooth motion of natural synovial joints operating at very low friction.

Detailed explanation-5: -Normal synovial fluid is transparent, viscous, colorless, or pale straw-colored. It contains few cells (<200 leukocytes/mm3), mostly mononuclear cells. Changes in volume and composition of synovial fluid reflect changes within the joint and are potentially of great diagnostic significance.
