Question

How are joints different from ligaments?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Joint:

1. A joint is the part of the body where two or more bones meet to allow movement.
2. The six types of freely movable joint include ball and socket, saddle, hinge, condyloid, pivot and gliding.
3. The greater the range of movement, the higher the risk of injury because the strength of the joint is reduced.

Ligaments:

1. Ligaments are bands of tough elastic tissue around your joints.
2. They connect bone to bone, give your joints support, and limit their movement.
3. There are three types of Ligaments: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) Medial cruciate ligament (MCL) Lateral collateral ligament (LCL)
