This study was conducted to investigate the surface ultrastructure of synovial fluid in indigenous cattle to identify its diversity from other species to improve the diagnosis and prognosis of joint diseases in this species. The present study was performed in the central region (state Madhya Pradesh) of India. Synovial fluid was collected from the knee joint of the young calves (group I-six months to one year) and adults of indigenous cattle (group II-4-5 years). The study was carried out with the help of scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed cross-shaped intertangled stringy networks and extracellular vesicles in the synovial fluid of the cattle. The presence of both structures supports the presence of boundary and hydrodynamic lubrication, however, the abundant presence of cross stringy network and unilamellar vesicles suggest that boundary lubrication might be a prime mode of lubrication. %U https://easletters.com/article/biochemical-morphology-of-synovial-fluid-way-to-lubrication-cfosltrprihwmqi
