What are the advantages of having joints covered by a fluid filled sac?
FlexAbility
What are the fluid filled sacs within joints are called?
Bursa or Bursae
What is the thin fluid filled membrane surrounding the embryo called?
amniotic sac
What is the fluid-filled sac surrounding the developing embryo or fetus?
Amniotic sac
What are the fluid filled sacs associated with synovial joints?
They are called as bursae. They reduce the friction of the muscle tendons.

Often contains a fluid filled cushion?
Some Synovial joints may have fluid-filled sacs called bursae.

Is the same bursitis and enthesopathy?
No, bursitis and enthesopathy are not the same. Bursitis refers to inflammation of the bursae, which are fluid-filled sacs that cushion joints. Enthesopathy, on the other hand, is a condition where there is pain and dysfunction at the site where tendons or ligaments attach to bone.
What is the medical term meaning Fluid-filled sacs that help cushion certain joints of the body?
A bursa.
What is the tissue that provides smooth surface in joints?
Joints may be synovial (with a cavity) or fibrous. Synovial joints are filled with synovial fluid. Fibrous joints lack this. Fibrous joints are found in between the vertebrae. Cartilage in is both joints. This can be hylaine or fibrocartilage. Both regenerate. The synovial fluid is rather slippery and allows easy movement in those joints. If this joint is suddenly and rapidly pulled, the fluid doesn't fill quickly and a "snapping" sound is heard.
Synovial membranes are found where?
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.
What Secreted by the membranes of the joints that make the smooth movement of the bones at the joints possible?
I believe youre asking what fluid makes the joints movement fluid... the answer is synovial fluid, made of mostly water. Its held between the bones by an overall structure called the joint capsule. There are smaller, more specific parts of the joint capsule, but I wont go into detail. Synovial fluid is not secreted by the joint capsule or the surrounding cartilage, however. Since the capsule is richly vascularized but poorly innervated, it just takes in water from the bloodstream whenever necessary to keep the capsule filled. It does not create its own synovial fluid.
How many different types of joints are there in a human skeleton?
Fibrous joints connect bones to minimize movement. The bones of your skull and pelvis are held together by fibrous joints. Cartilaginous joints are joints in which the bones are attached by cartilage. These joints allow for only a little movment, such as in the spine or ribs. Synovial joints allow for much more movement than cartilaginous joints. Cavaties between bones in synovial joints are filled with synovial fluid. This fluid helps lubricate and protect the bones. Bursa sacks contain the synovial fluid.
