Morphology and function of normal synovial membrane

Ultrastructure of normal rat synovial membrane.

Electron microscopic study of synovial membranes of many animal species has added materially to our understanding of the structure and function of this organ. The fine structure of the synovium of man (Barland, Novikoff, and Hamerman, 1962; Roy, Ghadially, and Crane, 1966), guinea-pig (Wyllie, More, and Haust, 1964), rabbit (Ghadially and Roy, 1966), calf and dog (Langer and Huth, 1960), and ca...

Morphology and function of membrane-bound organelles.

The cell interior is a busy and crowded place. A large fraction of the cell volume is taken up by organelles that come in a variety of shapes and sizes. These organelles are surrounded by membrane that not only acts as a diffusion barrier, but also provides each organelle with its unique morphology that contributes to its function, often in ways that are poorly understood. Here we discuss recen...

morphology, geochemistry, mineralogy, and micromorphology of soils of hormozgan province in relation to parent materials

ویژگی های زمین شیمیایی، کانی شناسی، و میکرومورفولوژیکی خاک ها و سنگ مادر مربوطه در منطقه بین بخش های جنوبی زاگرس و خلیج فارس تا دریای عمان(استان هرمزگان، ایران) مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. هدف های این مطالعه شناسایی تغییرات در خصوصیات فیزیکی، شیمیایی، و ترکیب کانی شناسی خاک، مطالعه میکرومورفولوژی و تکامل خاک، و بررسی توزیع عنصر خاک بر اساس هوازدگی، پروسه های خاک و زمین شناسی جهت توصیف اثرات مواد مادر...

Lubrication of synovial membrane.

Lubrication of synovial membrane.

(1) An apparatus has been constructed to measure the coefficient of friction of synovial membrane against a glass slider. (2) Provision was made to vary the load on the specimens. (3) The coefficient of friction varied from 0-006 to 0-07. (4) A presentation similar to that used in the Sommerfeld analysis of journal bearings indicated that in these experiments synovial membrane was lubricated in...
