| synovial fold | A projection from the synovial membrane of a joint extending toward or between the two articular surfaces. Synonym: plica synovialis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| synovial frena | Fibrous bands that extend from the flexor tendons of the fingers and toes to the capsules of the interphalangeal joints and to the phalanges; they convey small vessels to the tendons. Synonym: vincula tendinum, synovial frena, synovial frenula. (05 Mar 2000) |
| synovial frenula | Fibrous bands that extend from the flexor tendons of the fingers and toes to the capsules of the interphalangeal joints and to the phalanges; they convey small vessels to the tendons. Synonym: vincula tendinum, synovial frena, synovial frenula. (05 Mar 2000) |
| synovial fringe | Small vascular processes given off from a synovial membrane. Synonym: villi synoviales, synovial fringe, synovial tufts. (05 Mar 2000) |
| synovial glands | <anatomy> Collections of adipose tissue in the hip, knee, and other joints, covered by synovial membrane, thought by Havers to be gland's secreting the synovia. Synonym: synovial glands. (05 Mar 2000) |
| synovial hernia | Protrusion of a fold of the stratum synoviale through a rent in the stratum fibrosum of a joint capsule. (05 Mar 2000) |
| synovial joint | A joint in which the opposing bony surfaces are covered with a layer of hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage, there is a joint cavity containing synovial fluid, lined with synovial membrane and reinforced by a fibrous capsule and ligaments, and there is some degree of free movement possible. Synonym: articulatio synovialis, diarthrodial joint, diarthrosis, junctura synovialis, movable joint, perarticulation. (05 Mar 2000) |
