Skeletal System

The primary function of the synovial membrane
is the secretion of synovial fluid – a lubricant for
the joint and nutrition for the articular cartilage.

Acute injury to, or overuse of, a synovial joint
can stimulate the synovial membrane to secrete
excessive fluid, typically producing swelling and
decreasing the pain-free range of motion.
