Question

Short note on Joints ​

Answer 1

$\huge{ \underline{ \mathsf{JOINT: }}}$

• A joint is the part of the body where two or more bones meet to allow movement. Every bone in the body – except for the hyoid bone in the throat – meets up with at least one other bone at a joint. The shape of a joint depends on its function. A joint is also known as an articulation. Joints are held together and supported by tough bands of connective tissue called ligaments. Smooth cartilage prevents friction as the bones move against one another. In freely movable joints, the entire joint is enclosed inside a membrane filled with lubricating synovial fluid, which helps to provide extra cushioning against impact.

Answer 2

• A joint, also known as an articulation (or articular surface), is a physical connection that connects bones in the body to form a functioning whole.
• They're made to allow for a variety of movement degrees and kinds.
• Some joints, such as the knee, elbow, and shoulder, are self-lubricating and practically frictionless, allowing them to bear compression and retain enormous loads while still moving smoothly and precisely.
• In order to preserve the brain and sensory organs, other joints, such as sutures between the bones of the skull, allow very limited movement (just during birth).
• A gomphosis is a fibrous junction that connects a tooth to the jawbone. Both physically and functionally, joints are divided into groups.
