The role of Synovial Membranes is to line and lubricate the cavities between bones in joints. This helps to reduce friction and allow for smooth movement of the joint. It also helps to protect the joint from damage and wear. It does not line the passageways that open to the outside of the body, nor does it line and lubricate internal body cavities or line the external body to protect from dehydration.
