I this its the following:
Bursae
- located between skin and bones, tendons and bones, muscles and bones, or ligaments and bones
- Main function: reduce friction between joints
Joint Capsule
- surrounds a synovial joint and encloses the synovial cavity
- Main function: unite the articulating bones and reduce friction via production of synovial fluid

What is the difference between fracture and dislocation?
A Fracture is a break and a dislocation is when a joint comes out its socket
What is the difference between a mobile joint and rigid joint?
A joint is where two sections of something come together. With bones, your elbow, knee, jaw, fingers, etc. are all mobile joints, because they move. A rigid joint would be where the bones don't move; your skull has various bones that connect but do not move.
What is the difference between a pinned joint and a fixed joint?
Pinned has a bolt through it, fixed is stuck together with a material such as glue or epoxy.pin revolutejoints provide single-axis rotation function used in many places such as door hinges, folding mechanisms, and other uni-axial rotation devices. and fixed joint can do nothing like rotation..
What is a rigid link?
A rigid link is: a joint between Structural members which does not permit relative motion between them.
What is the difference between syndesmosis and synchondrosis?
Syndesmosis: Amphiarthrotic (meaning they slightly move), fibrous joint held together by ligaments. Ex: joints joining fibula and tibia Synchondrosis: Synarthrotic (meaning they do not move), cartilaginous joints held together by hyaline cartilage. Ex: epiphyseal plate
What is the outermost part of a synovial joint?
A typical synovial joint has a joint capsule, a synovial membrane, synovial fluid, a joint cavity, and articular cartilage. A joint capsule surrounds the joint, supporting and stabilizing it. The synovial membrane is within the joint capsule. This membrane closely surrounds the joint and forms a joint cavity. The synovial membrane secretes synovial fluid that lubricates the articular surfaces of the joint. In some joints, the synovial membrane extends outside the joint capsule to form a bursa. The bursa cushions the joint. Bursae are in the knee, elbow, shoulder, and hip. Articular cartilage covers the articular surfaces of synovial joints to prevent excess wear and tear as they move against each other.
What is the difference between neuroma and Capsulitis?
Neuroma is a tumor made of nerve tissue. Capsulitis is inflammation of the joint capsule, typically in the shoulder.
What is subacrominal bursa and subcoracoid bursa?
The subacromial and subcoracoid bursa are spaces composed of synovium membrane (which generally lines the inside of joint capsules) and synovial fluid a fluid which is found in joint and bursa and is designed to be as frictionless as possible. The subacromial bursa is located above the shoulder joint between the supraspinatus muscle and below the acromiom which comes off the spine of the scapula and may be palpated as the bony apex of the shoulder. This bursa does not communicate with the shoulder joint proper. This is not the case if there is underlying pathology however. The subcoracoid bursa is also called the subscapular bursa. It is in fact a medial continuation of the shoulder joint. In other words it is part of the shoulder joint cavity and sits underneath the coracoid process. The coracoid process is also part of the scapula and can be palpated beneath the lateral (outer part) of the clavicle.
What is the most important and most commonly injured bursa of the shoulder joint?
Subacromial bursa
What is a flattened sac that reduces friction between adjacent structures during joint activity called?
Bursa
What bursa does not belong to the glenohumeral joint?
subdeltoid
Where is bursa found near the shoulder area?
Bursitis is a condition in which there is an inflammation of the bursa, which is a sac that is located between muscles or tendons of the shoulder. A cause of shoulder bursitis can be overuse of the shoulder joint. This condition can cause pain.
How does a bursa differ from a synovial cavity of a joint?
No bone
Lubricating sacs enclosing tendons are what?
That is the bursa in your synovial joint. Bursa lines with the synovial membrane and contains synovial fluid that is used to lubricate the joint when there's movement.
A joint capsule is reinforced by tendons binding articular ends of bones together?
Ligaments are used to bind the articular ends of bones together reinforcing the joint capsule. These can be thickenings in the fibrous layer of the joint capsule or accessory structures that are located outside of the joint capsule.
What is the ligament called found outside a joint capsule?
The accessory ligament is the ligament found outside a joint capsule.
Bones of a synovial joint are held together by?
joint capsule
