This paper describes the structure and function of the normal synovium including the cellular
content, nerve and vascular supply and how normal synovium maintains homeostasis within
the joint. It is important to understand normal synovium before appreciating the changes that
occur in the synovial membrane which leads to the pathology seen in inflammatory
arthritides such as Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Abstract
This paper describes the structure and function of the normal synovium including the cellular content, nerve and vascular supply and how normal synovium maintains homeostasis within the joint. It is important to understand normal synovium before appreciating the changes that occur in the synovial membrane which leads to the pathology seen in inflammatory arthritides such as Rheumatoid Arthritis.
