Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disorder that primarily affects the joints. In this condition, the immune system attacks the synovial membrane lining the joints, causing inflammation and thickening, which can result in joint pain, stiffness, and deformity. This mass of inflamed tissue is called a "pannus."
