00:01 Let us fill the blanks as mentioned in the question.

00:04 Synovial fluid.

00:08 It is a viscous fluid.

00:11 Only substance that is composed of secretions from synovial membrane.

00:20 Synovial membrane secretes synovial membrane.

00:27 Synovial fluid.

00:29 And a filtrate from blood plasma.

00:36 Filtrate is obtained from blood plasma.

00:42 So here we filled two blanks.

00:44 One is synovial membrane.

00:46 Another one is blood plasma.

00:49 Next let us consider synovial fluid.

00:53 It lubricates articular cartilages.

01:03 Articular cartilages.

01:07 Synovial fluid.

01:10 Lubricates this articular cartilage.

01:13 That is present on the surface of articulating bones.

01:24 Which is present on the surface of bones.

01:28 So here it is articular cartilage.

01:32 It nourishes, synovial fluid nourishes the articular cartilages.

01:42 Chondrocytes.

01:47 It nourishes chondrocytes.

01:53 The small volume...
