What are the fluid filled sacs associated with synovial joints?
They are called as bursae. They reduce the friction of the muscle tendons.
What are extra-capusular bursae?
Extra-capsular bursae are flattened fibrous sacs filled with synovial fluid. They are found between tendons and ligaments and their function is to reduce friction when the joint moves.
What is the function of the prepatellar bursa?
Bursa sacs are both the shock absorbers and the ball bearings of the musculoskeletal system. They disperse forces from blows on bony prominences and reduce friction where tendons or ligaments are in frequent motion. A bursa sac functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues of the body. The plural of bursa is "bursae". There are 160 bursae in the body. The major bursae are located adjacent to the tendons near the large joints, such as the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees.

What tissue forms a wall of capillaries and air sacs of lungs?
Transitional arms
What kind of epithelial tissue is found in alveolar sacs of the lungs?
Simple Squamous
What is a soft tissue injection?
These are given to reduce pain in trigger points (areas of muscle that are hypersensitive to touch) and bursae, which are small pouches or sacs containing tissue fluid that cushions pressure points between tendons and bones
What are small air sacs of lung tissue called?
Alveoli (pulmonis) or just alveoli.
What is the advantage of the structure of the lung tissue?
The tiny sacs insure that the maximum area of tissue can be in close contact with the blood vessels to facilitate gas transfer
