At this stage it is known what artritis does, how t deos it but not why it does it.
Synovial Membranes
Synovial fluid is found in joints in the body, specifically within the synovial cavities of synovial joints. It serves to lubricate the joints, reduce friction, and provide nutrients to the surrounding cartilage.
Most joints of the body are synovial joints, which are characterized by the presence of a synovial fluid-filled joint cavity. These joints allow for a wide range of movement due to the presence of articulating surfaces covered in hyaline cartilage and reinforced by ligaments. Examples include the knee, shoulder, and hip joints.
Synovial joints are all freely movable or diarthrotic. These joints have a synovial cavity filled with synovial fluid that allows for smooth movement between the bones. Examples include the knee, elbow, and shoulder joints.
Synovial fluid is a thick, stringy fluid found in the cavities of synovial joints. With its egg-like consistency (synovial comes from Latin for "egg"), synovial fluid reduces friction between the articular cartilage and other tissues in joints to lubricate and cushion them during movement.
Rheumatoid arthritis is the autoimmune disorder that attacks the synovial membranes of joints and other tissues.
The joints in your body
The creaking is usually due to worn cartilege or loss of synovial fluid .

Arthritis
Juvenile RA can have an effect on any of the joints in the body.
False. It does not.
Ankylosing spondylitis is a form of arthritis that primarily affects the joints between the vertebrae.
Arthritis usually affects the human joints, when the joints of the legs are affected, one may end up in a wheelchair.
Synovial Membranes
Most joints in the human body are synovial joints. Synovial joints are the most common type of joint, allowing for various types of movement due to the presence of synovial fluid. Ball and socket joints, such as the hip and shoulder joints, are a specific type of synovial joint characterized by a spherical head fitting into a cup-like socket.
Synovial joints contain synovial fluid. This fluid helps lubricate the joint, reduce friction, and provide nutrients to the joint structures. Examples of synovial joints include the knee, elbow, and shoulder joints.
