23
Q

what is the function of the synovial membrane?

A

secretes synovial fluid to fill joint spaces

24
Q

what does the synovial fluid do? 3

A

contains proteoglycans
lubricant
nutritive

25
name this part of the TMJ
lateral ligament
26
the lateral ligament connects? 2

Sphenomandibular ligament as runs close to alveolar bone
33
Name this structure of TMJ
