Palmar/plantar structures of the fetlock: the annular ligament (green), the digital flexor tendons (blue) and the digital flexor tendon sheath (red)

tendon sheath

A membrane bound, fluid-filled cavity that surrounds the tendons at locations where they pass over joints. The tendon sheaths are filled with highly viscous synovial fluid (similar to the fluid in joints) and this protects the tendinous structures from the stress of their increased movement and constant change of direction.
