The scanning electron microscopy of synovial membrane from the radiocarpal and intercarpal joints near the lateral and medial borders of the tendon of the extensor carpi radialis muscle was studied in 5 ponies. Three different morphologic types of synovial membrane were observed. Type 1 synovial membrane was folded and had a surface mat of fibers separated by 1- to 5-micron-diameter holes. The 2nd and 3rd types of synovial membrane were both villous. The surface of type 2 synovial membrane was fibrillar but the surface of type 3 synovial membrane was cellular. The type of synovial membrane present was related to the function of the joint capsule region rather than to the type of subintimal connective tissue. Normal equine synovial membrane was found to be more villous in some regions of the joint capsule than synovial membrane of other species.
对5匹小马腕关节桡侧和腕间关节腕桡侧伸肌腱内外侧缘附近的滑膜进行了扫描电子显微镜研究。观察到三种不同形态类型的滑膜。1型滑膜呈折叠状，表面有一层纤维垫，由直径1至5微米的孔隔开。2型和3型滑膜均为绒毛状。2型滑膜表面为纤维状，而3型滑膜表面为细胞状。滑膜的类型与关节囊区域的功能有关，而非与内膜下结缔组织的类型有关。发现正常马的滑膜在关节囊的某些区域比其他物种的滑膜更呈绒毛状。
