Knee bursa. Fluid-filled, saclike cavities are known as bursae. These are located where muscles and tendons move over bony joint areas. Their function is to reduce friction caused by muscles and tendons moving against skin and bones, as well as to facilitate movement. A knee bursa, also known as a subcutaneous prepatellar bursa, aids with movement when we walk, run, stretch, or even cross our legs.
Bursitis (ber-SEYE-tis) is swelling and pain of a bursa. A bursa is a fluid-filled sac that acts as a cushion or shock absorber between a tendon and a bone. A tendon is a cord of tough tissue that connects muscles to bones.Normally a bursa has a small amount of fluid in it. When injured, the bursa becomes inflamed (red and sore) and may fill with too much fluid. bursa is a fluid-filled sac that acts as a cushion or shock absorber between a tendon and a bone.
