PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Bursitis (bur-SY-tis) is a painful condition that affects the small, fluid-filled sacs-called bursae (bur-SEE)-that cushion the bones, tendons and muscles near your joints. Bursitis occurs when bursae become inflamed. The most common locations for bursitis are in the shoulder, elbow and hip.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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-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.

Detailed explanation-5: -Bursae are fluid-filled sacs that produce small amounts of synovial fluid to reduce friction between mobile structures of the musculoskeletal system.
