PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -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-3: -Bursitis is caused by the inflammation of a bursa. A bursa is a small fluid-filled sac that acts as a cushion between bone and soft tissue. Common causes of bursitis include injury and overuse. Treatment includes rest, ice packs, gentle mobilisation exercises and avoiding the activity that prompted the condition.

Detailed explanation-4: -A bursa is a flat, fluid-filled sac found between a bone and a tendon or muscle. It forms a cushion to help the tendon or muscle slide smoothly over the bone. Bursitis may be caused by long-term overuse, trauma, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, or infection. It usually affects the shoulder, knee, elbow, hip, or foot.
