Synovial fluid is a thick, stringy fluid found in the cavities of synovial joints. With its egg-like consistency (synovial comes from Latin for "egg"), synovial fluid reduces friction between the articular cartilage and other tissues in joints to lubricate and cushion them during movement.
The inner membrane of synovial joints is called the SYNOVIAL MEMBRANE, which secretes synovial fluid into the joint cavity.

Do you mean "synovial"??? It is the membrane which contains the synovial fluid and forms sacs that cushion joints.
