The horse's knee is a hinge joint, one of a larger group of joints known as synovial or diarthrodial joints. These joints move along one plane, at the point of contact with the articulating bones.
Synovial joints are cushioned by fibrous fluid-filled capsules that surround the joint surfaces to provide lubrication for movement. The fluid inside this membrane is called "synovial fluid," and it protects the bone against excessive friction that would cause erosion and pain.
When too little synovial fluid is present, the knee joint can become inflamed and develop Arthritis.
If your knee is injured, there is a great chance that it is related to the injury. Depending on where the fluid is, it can be indicitive of an underlying problem, like a torn ligament or torn cartilage, a ruptured bursae, which is a fluid filled sac located both on top and underneath your kneecap, or it could be related to something different, such as poor joints like in arthritis, or if there is a problem with circulation. Any fluid that is unrelated to an injury to the knee should be checked by a doctor to make sure you don't have an infection or virus.
Fluid in the knee can be due to injury, trauma, or disease. A doctor will need a sample of the fluid in order to determine the best treatment method depending on the cause.
Synovial Fluid.
It is synovial fld that lubricates the joints of bodies.
It produces synovium which lubricates the joints.
water :) i know, it's so simple&you thought it was more complicated. but yes, it's water. haha.
The plural fluid about 1 to 2 ml lubricates the visceral and parietal pleura during inspiration and expiration.
Amount of synovial fluid.
It is synovial fld that lubricates the joints of bodies.
Synovial fluid
fluid that lubricates joints
The articular capsules are found in joints. They contain liquid which lubricates the joints (synovial fluid).

Synovial fluid is the fluid that lubricates joints in the body so it would be similar to the oil of a car engine.
In our joint cavities, there is a fluid known as synovial fluid. It allows the joints to move freely and serves to reduce friction that can occur when joints move together. It is made up of hyaluronic acid.
A fluid called synovial fluid lubricates the joint when it is moved.
A fluid called synovial fluid lubricates the joint when it is moved.
To reduce friction between the bones. It also lubricates the joints and allows smooth movements.
Synovial fluid fills the area near a Synovial joint. The fluid is stringy and has egg like consistency. It lubricates the motion of the bones forming the joint. Other types of joints are cartilaginous joints and fibrous joints. Synovial joints themselves are of various types - such as gliding, hinge, pivot, saddle, ball and socket.
The membrane type associated with connective tissue is the synovial membrane. This important membrane type is found in the spaces between bone joints and produces a slippery substance called synovial fluid, which greatly reduces friction when joints move.THERE WILL BE NO MOMENT IF SYNOVIAL FLUID IS ABSENT Synovial fluid lubricates hinge joints (knee, elbow and finger joints) ball-and-socket joints (shoulder, hip) and gliding joints (wrist, ankle). Without it, joints would not move freely and would become arthritic.
