Synovial fluid is a viscous, gel-like substance found in the cavities of synovial joints, such as the knees and elbows. It serves several important functions, including lubricating the joints to reduce friction during movement, providing cushioning to absorb shock, and delivering nutrients to the cartilage. This fluid is produced by the synovial membrane lining the joint capsule and plays a crucial role in maintaining joint health and function.
