Subtendinous bursfe are found often about joints and not unusually com- municate directly with the cavity of the joint by means of an opening in the joint capsule, the synovial membrane of the joint being continuous with the synovial membrane of the bursa. For instance, the bursa between the tendon of the Psoas and Iliacus muscles and the capsular ligament of the hip communicates with the hip-joint; and the bursa between the under surface of the Subscapularis muscle
. Anatomy, descriptive and applied. Anatomy. Fig. 214.—Scheme of a serous bursa. (Poirier and Charpj-.) of the great trochanter. Subtendinous bursfe are found often about joints and not unusually com- municate directly with the cavity of the joint by means of an opening in the joint capsule, the synovial membrane of the joint being continuous with the synovial membrane of the bursa. For instance, the bursa between the tendon of the Psoas and Iliacus muscles and the capsular ligament of the hip communicates with the hip-joint; and the bursa between the under surface of the Subscapularis muscle and the neck of the scapula communicates with the shoulder-joint. Bursse consist of a thin wall of connective tissue, lined by endothelial cells, and contain a viscid fluid. The vaginal synovial membrane (Figs. 257 and 365), which is the synovial sheath or the thecal synovial bursa (I'dt/tna mucosa tendinis), serves to facilitate the gliding of a tendon in the osseofibrous canal through \\hich it passes. The membrane is here arranged in the form of a sheath, one layer of which adheres to the w all of the canal, and the other is reflected upon the surface of the contained tendon, the space between the two surfaces of the membrane containing synovia. These sheaths are chiefly found surrounding the tendons of the Flexor and Extensor rnuscles of the fingers and toes as they pass through the osseofibrous canals in the hand or foot. A vaginal sheath covers the long head of the Biceps brachii muscle from its origin to the surgical neck of the humerus (Fig. 247). Subjacent to the synovial membrane of certain joints are found pads of adipose tissue, the synovial pads. These serve to fill up large spaces, and by adapting themselves to changes of position maintain the form of the joint during Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perf
