joint capsule

articular capsule /

Definition

A capsule made of fibrous connective tissue that is firmly attached to the periosteum of the bone at the edge of the joint cartilage. The joint capsule completely envelopes the joint and is lined by a membrane (synovial membane) which secretes the viscous joint fluid (synovial fluid).

Translations :

capsule articulaire , f

Enveloppe articulaire se composant d'une couche externe fibreuse résistante; ce tissu conjonctif composé de collagène se poursuit au bord de la surface cartilagineuse dans le périoste. Sur la face interne, la fine membrane synoviale sécrète le liquide synovial permettant la lubrification de l’articulation.
