👉 The adaptor fluid, also known as the articular fluid, is a specialized lubricating and nourishing substance found in synovial joints. It acts as a vital component of the joint's lubrication system, reducing friction between the articular cartilage surfaces during movement and preventing wear and tear. This fluid is produced by the synovial membrane lining the joint capsule and is constantly replenished to maintain optimal joint health. Adaptor fluid also provides essential nutrients to the cartilage cells, ensuring their survival and function, while removing metabolic waste products. Its unique composition, rich in hyaluronic acid and lubricin, contributes to its exceptional viscosity and ability to withstand high pressures, making it indispensable for smooth, pain-free joint movement.
