articulation

localisation à laquelle deux os ou plus entrent en contact

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.

Une articulation, en anatomie, est une zone de jonction entre deux extrémités osseuses, ou entre un os et une dent. Une articulation (ou une jointure) est plus ou moins mobile selon sa constitution, sa forme, et la nature des éléments environnants. L’arthrologie, ou la syndesmologie, est la partie de l’anatomie qui traite des articulations. Article principal : Squelette_humain.
