WHAT DOES BURSAE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Synovial bursa

A bursa is a small fluid-filled sac lined by synovial membrane with an inner capillary layer of viscous fluid. It provides a cushion between bones and tendons and/or muscles around a joint. This helps to reduce friction between the bones and allows free movement. Bursae are filled with synovial fluid and are found around most major joints of the body.
