The course of inflammation exemplified in the synovial membrane. Personal studies and literature data.

: Owing to special reactivity anchored in its structure the connective tissue responds to all kinds of injuries with tissue changes which in their completeness are designated as inflammation. An expressive carrier of mesodermal inflammation is the synovial membrane in which these tissue changes are manifested at first by the vessels and cells of the blood, and subsequently by all other constituents of the synovial membrane.
