Joints are the place where two bones meet. All of your bones, except for one (the hyoid bone in your neck), form a joint with another bone. Joints hold your bones together and allow your rigid skeleton to move.
Hope this helps?! :)
The anterior intervertebral joints are secondary cartilaginous joints (symphysis) which are designed for strength and weight bearing.
knee joints because they help you walk
There are two general types of joints, movable and immovable. Under the movable category there are four types of joints: Hinge joints: in knees and elbows Pivot joints: in neck Gliding joints: in wrists and ankles Ball-and-socket joints: in shoulders and hips
that they allow for a wide range of movement. The articulations in the appendicular skeleton, such as the shoulder and hip joints, are synovial joints that are designed for mobility. These joints have a wide range of motion due to their unique structure and ability to rotate and move in multiple directions. This allows for complex movements such as walking, running, and grasping objects.
In our joints our hinge joints are located between two bone our hinge joint is our elbow.
The anatomical structures designed to cushion joints is the cartialge. The combining form is chrondr/o

Sealed ball joints are not designed to have grease added. They have been permanently sealed, and can only be replaced when there is a problem.
Ligaments are collagen structures, and the are not designed to stretch. Ever. If they do, your joints become unstable.
If you have a factory steering knuckle, ford designed them for the ball joints to not be removable. If you are thinking that your ball joints are bad for some reason, you will need to get after market steering knuckles, and ball joints for replacement. Costly, I know but worth it. I suggest MOOG, I've always have had good experience with them.
There are joints in the body that take on stress or strain when walking, these may be located in the hips knees, feed or even the back. if cartilage has been damaged and you have a situation where there is bone on bone at the joints or pressure is exerted on nerves passing between the joints it is helpful to reduce the strain placed on these joints, thus reducing the pain involved in movement and the damage done by wear and tear on these joints. often it is also helpful to strengthen muscles with especially designed exercises surrounding effected joints as well to help in these situations.
Expansion joints in sidewalks are designed to accommodate the natural expansion and contraction of the concrete due to temperature changes. In the summer, the concrete expands with the heat, causing the joints to narrow. In winter, when the concrete contracts in the cold, the joints widen to prevent cracking and damage to the sidewalk.
This is done through the use of control joints and expansion jointsControl joints are cuts into the concrete or asphalt. The joints are cut into the structure at regular intervals allow cracking to occur in a controlled fashion. Road control joints can be sealed with hot tar or rubberExpansion joints are designed to allow for continuous traffic between structures accommodating movement, shrinkage, temperature variations on reinforced and pre-stressed concrete, composite and steel structures.
Ball joints are a component used to connect the steering knuckle (the part that connects to the hub of the wheel) to the control arms of the vehicle's suspension frame. Ball joint bearings are designed with a ball and socket, similar to a human hip.
