It makes direct contact with the fibrous membrane on the outside surface and with the synovial fluid lubricant on the inside surface. (wikipedia.org)
In contact with the synovial fluid at the tissue surface are many rounded macrophage-like synovial cells (type A) and also type B cells, which are also known as fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS). (wikipedia.org)
As for the FLS, they produce hyaluronan, as well as other extracellular components in the synovial fluid. (wikipedia.org)
The inner layer (in contact with synovial fluid), or intima, consists of a sheet of cells thinner than a piece of paper. (wikipedia.org)
This membrane, together with the cells of the intima, provides something like an inner tube, sealing the synovial fluid from the surrounding tissue (effectively stopping the joints from being squeezed dry when subject to impact, such as running). (wikipedia.org)

Walking, dancing, running or simply rocking our legs, sitting in an armchair, we move every day, and our mobility is ensured by our joints.As we know from biology lessons, each joint is made up of the articular faces of the bones, covered with cartilaginous tissue, the joint capsule of connective tissue and the synovial membrane that lines the inner capsule and secretes synovium (synovial fluid). (audioboo.fm)
This inner membrane nourishes the cartilage and produces "joint juice", the synovial fluid, which reduces the frictional movement at the joints, protecting them from wear and tear. (audioboo.fm)
At the same time, the synovial fluid isolates the joint surfaces from each other, forming a slippery surface. (audioboo.fm)
At the same time, the matrix is rich in glycosaminoglycans, hyaluronic acid and chondroitin sulfate - structural components of synovial fluid.Hyaluronic acid is found in many of the tissues of the human body such as cartilage, bones, glassy body, heart valves, skin and synovial fluid. (audioboo.fm)
It stretches the skin and ligaments, maintains the elasticity of the cartilage and lubricates our joints, being the essential component of synovial or joint fluid. (audioboo.fm)
