滑膜在维持关节正常生理功能和关节病理方面起着重要作用，但由于取材和技术方面的原因，迄今为止对颞颌关节滑膜的结构尚了解不多。作者根据对人体其它部位滑液关节滑膜的认识，探讨了正常颞颌关节滑膜的组织学结构，介绍了当今有关人类颞颌关节滑膜结构的争议，认为有必要对正常颞颌关节滑膜组织病理作深入研究 Synovial membrane plays an important role in maintaining the normal physiological function and joint pathology of the joint, but due to the material and technical reasons, so far the structure of the synovial membrane of the temporomandibular joint is not well understood. Based on the understanding of the synovial synovium in other parts of human body, the authors discussed the histological structure of the synovial membrane of normal temporomandibular joint, and introduced the controversy about synovial structure of human temporomandibular joint nowadays. It is considered necessary to normal synovial joint sliding Membrane histopathology for further study
