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.
The three types of bursae are subcutaneous bursae (located between the skin and underlying bone or muscle), submuscular bursae (situated between muscles and bone), and subtendinous bursae (found between tendons and bones).
Bursa or Bursae
Bursae are the connective tissue sacs that reduce friction between tissues such as tendons and bones. They are filled with fluid to lubricate and cushion the joints during movement.
Bursae are sometimes formed due to repeated friction or pressure on a specific area of the body. This can lead to the body's response of creating a small fluid-filled sac (bursa) to reduce the friction and protect the underlying tissues. Inflammation or irritation of a bursa can result in bursitis.
They are called as bursae. They reduce the friction of the muscle tendons.
Bursae
The three types of bursae are subcutaneous bursae (located between the skin and underlying bone or muscle), submuscular bursae (situated between muscles and bone), and subtendinous bursae (found between tendons and bones).
The Latin plural is bursae. The English plural is bursas.
In the knee there are four bursae, and all can become inflamed with overuse.

Plural
bursae are flattened fibrous sacs, while tendon sheaths are elongated fibrous sacs.
Bursae. They contain synovial fluid and help reduce friction between moving structures such as bones, tendons, and muscles.
Synovial Membranes
A bursae is a sack like structure that is filled with viscid fluid. The main purpose of the bursae sack is to protect tendons.
The membrane type that is in joints, bursae and tendon sheaths is described as synovial. Synovial membrane is also referred to as stratum synoviale.
