How is the synovial fluid within a joint formed? Of what is it composed?
What will be an ideal response?
ANS:
Synovial fluid, which is produced by the synovial layer of the capsule, is composed primarily of plasma and hyaluronic acid, with a glycoprotein called lubricin. Hyaluronate is responsible for reducing friction between the synovium and joint surfaces, and lubricin reduces friction between the joint surfaces (cartilage-on-cartilage).
