Answer: "The synovial fluid in my joint capsule acts as a lubricant and helps the movement of the joint's articulating surfaces."

Step-by-step explanation:

Synovial fluid is also called Synovia. It is produced by the synovial membrane. It is a thick liquid found in the cavities of synovial joints. It's function is to reduce friction by acting as a natural lubricant between the articular cartilage of synovial joints and allows ease of movement, they act as shock absorber and nourishment in the joints. Each of the joints contain synovial fluid.
