Hope this answer helps you!

Explanation:

Joints are the areas where 2 or more bones meet. Most joints are mobile, allowing the bones to move.

Answer 2

Answer:

Joints hold the skeleton together and support movement. There are two ways to categorize joints. The first is by joint function, also referred to as range of motion. The second way to categorize joints is by the material that holds the bones of the joints together; that is an organization of joints by structure.

Joints in the human skeleton can be grouped by function (range of motion) and by structure (material). Here are some joints and their categorizations.
