The cervical facet joints are synovial joints, with each consisting of two matching bony articular surfaces covered with a 1- to 2-mm thick layer of articular or hyaline cartilage (Figure 11.6). The hyaline-lined portion of a superior and inferior articular process is known as the articular facet. The junction between the superior and inferior articular facets on one side of two adjacent vertebrae is known as a facet joint (Cramer and Darby 2013). There is a gap filled with synovial fluid between the articular cartilages, which is viscous and lubricates the cartilage for ultra-low friction sliding (Figure 11.6). Containing the synovial fluid within the synovial joint is the flexible synovial membrane (Figure 11.6). In the cervical facet joint, the joint capsular (JC) ligament encases the facet joint to provide joint strength in tension.

Most synovial joints share a number of common features, including a white fibrocartilaginous capsule that completely encloses the joint, providing strength and protection, and a synovial membrane that lines all internal parts (except articular surfaces) and secretes synovial fluid for nutrition and lubrication. All synovial joints have articular surfaces lined with hyaline cartilage to reduce friction and protect the bone ends. Other intracapsular features may include interarticular cartilages for additional stability, interarticular ligaments for extra strength, bursae to reduce friction and sesamoid bones.

The synovial cavity is surrounded by a synovial membrane which supplies the natural lubricant of the articulation, called the synovial fluid, and provides to the ejection of undesired products in the cavity. The synovial fluid is substantially made of blood plasma, hyaluronic acid macromolecules and lubricin proteins: it is the main component responsible of the tribologically optimal behaviour of the synovial articulation, which allows to perform a wide motion with a very low friction coefficient.
Decellularized inner body membranes for tissue engineering: A review
Published in Journal of Biomaterials Science, Polymer Edition, 2020

Fascia, periosteum and synovial membrane are described as connective tissue membranes as mentioned in the previous parts of this review. Tissue engineering applications of connective tissue membranes with decellularization process are explained in the following sections.
