Synovial bursae are small, fluid-filled sacs located throughout the body, primarily in areas where friction might occur, such as between bones, tendons, and muscles. They serve to reduce friction and facilitate smooth movement between these structures during activities such as walking, running, and lifting. Each bursa is lined with synovial membrane, which secretes synovial fluid, a viscous fluid that lubricates the bursa and helps to cushion the areas around joints.
