A bursa is a sac containing fluid (19thC) located within joints to facilitate movement.

A sac containing synovial fluid (a natural lubricant). The purpose is to pad or cushion, hence facilitate motion between soft tissue and bone. Occurs most commonly where tendons pass over bones.

A bursa is a fluid filled sac that prevents friction between bony surfaces and soft tissues in the body, especially in or around joints.

A fluid-filled body sac located between a tendon and a bone or at points of friction.

(pl., bursae

A sac filled with fluid located between a bone and a tendon or muscle.

a sac filled with fluid located between a bone and a tendon or muscle.

sac of fluid with a function to reduce friction between structures. Bursae are a common pain sensitive structure and our chiropractors and physiotherapists treat bursae injuries commonly.

A fluid-filled sac located in areas where friction is likely to occur. The bursa sac minimizes the friction, for example, between a tendon and bone.
