Also known as articulation
A joint or articulation (or articular surface) is the connection made between bones, ossicles, or other hard structures in the body which link an animal's skeletal system into a functional whole. They are constructed to allow for different degrees and types of movement. Some joints, such as the knee, elbow, and shoulder, are self-lubricating, almost frictionless, and are able to withstand compression and maintain heavy loads while still executing smooth and precise movements. Other joints such as sutures between the bones of the skull permit very little movement (only during birth) in order to
AI overview
A joint is where two bones connect in your body, and these connections are designed to allow different amounts of movement depending on their location and purpose. Some joints, like your knee and shoulder, move freely and can handle heavy loads smoothly, while others, like the seams in your skull, allow little to no movement to keep your head stable.
