Examples of synovium in the following topics:
-
- Tenosynovitis is the inflammation of the fluid-filled sheath (called the synovium) that surrounds a tendon.
- Tenosynovitis is the inflammation of the fluid-filled sheath (called the synovium) that surrounds a tendon.
- Outpatient surgery can be used to enlarge the synovium.
-
- The synovial membrane (or synovium) is the connective tissue which lines the inner surface of the capsule of a synovial joint and secretes synovial fluid which serves a lubricating function, allowing joint surfaces to smoothly move across each other.
- The surface of synovium may be flat or may be covered with finger-like projections (villi), to allow the soft tissue to change shape as the joint surfaces move on one another.
- Just beneath the intima, most synovium has a dense net of small blood vessels that provide nutrients, not only for synovium, but also for the avascular cartilage.
- In any one position, much of the cartilage is close enough to get nutrition directly from the synovium.
-
- A synovial membrane (or synovium)
is the soft tissue
found between the articular capsule (joint capsule)
and the joint cavity of synovial
joints.
- The surface of a synovium may be flat or
covered with finger-like projections (villi) to allow the soft tissue to
change shape as the joint surfaces move on one another.
- In any one position, much of the cartilage is close enough to get nutrition
directly from the synovium.
-
- Synovial joints are made up of five classes of tissues: bone, cartilage, synovium, synovial fluid, and tensile tissues composed of tendons and ligaments.
-
- The process involves an inflammatory response of the capsule around the joints (synovium) secondary to swelling (hyperplasia) of synovial cells, excess synovial fluid, and the development of fibrous tissue (pannus) in the synovium.
