to cushion and protect joints
The function of synovial fluid is to reduce friction between the articular cartilage of synovial joints during movement. Synovial fluid has an egg yolk-like consistency.
No, increasing osmotic pressure within a joint is not a function of synovial fluid. Osmotic pressure is the force that drives the movement of water across a semipermeable membrane, and it is determined by solute concentration. The synovial fluid's main function is to lubricate and nourish the joint, not to influence osmotic pressure.
Te Synovial Membrane
The synovial membrane is the inner membrane of tissue that lines a joint. The synovial membrane secretes synovial fluid which serves to lubricate the joint and reduce the friction between bones in joints.

The inner membrane of synovial joints is called the synovial membrane and secretes synovial fluid into the joint cavity.
The Joint Cavity is the space or scientifically a 'potential' space filled with synovial fluid. The function of this fuild is to reduce friction by lubricationg the joint.
synovial fluid
water :) i know, it's so simple&you thought it was more complicated. but yes, it's water. haha.
Synovial fluid is the fluid found in synovial joints, and is secreted by the synovial membrane. The shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle are synovial joints, as are metacarpo- and metatarsophalangeal and interphalangeal joints.
