Wikipedia
synovium
The synovial membrane (also known as the synovial stratum, synovium or stratum synoviale) is a specialized connective tissue that lines the inner surface of capsules of synovial joints and tendon sheath. It makes direct contact with the fibrous membrane on the outside surface and with the synovial fluid lubricant on the inside surface. In contact with the synovial fluid at the tissue surface are many rounded macrophage-like synovial cells (type A) and also type B cells, which are also known as fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS). Type A cells maintain the synovial fluid by removing wear-and-tear debris. As for the FLS, they produce hyaluronan, as well as other extracellular components in the synovial fluid.

synovium
The synovium, also known as the synovial membrane, is a thin layer of tissue that lines the joint capsules in our bodies. It produces synovial fluid which helps lubricate and nourish the cartilage within the joints, facilitating smoother movement. This membrane also has the important role in filtering out harmful substances to support joint health. When this membrane is inflamed, it results in conditions such as synovitis or arthritis.
