Small fat pads cushion the joint?

Fat pads act as a cushion helping to protect the joints from mechanical damage.


If bones are like levers what functions as a fulcrum?

In the body, joints act as the fulcrum when bones function as levers. Joints provide a pivot point around which bones can move to generate mechanical advantage for various movements.


How do bones act as levers?

Bones act as levers in the body by providing a rigid support for muscles to attach to. When muscles contract, they pull on the bones, creating movement around joints. The length and position of bones determine the leverage and force that muscles can exert to move the body.


What is the function of the cartilages found at the joint?

The cartilages at the ends of bones act as a soft pliable cushion between the bones that form the joint. Bone on bone movement is very painful.


What are the types of dislocation bones?

you can not dislocate a bone. Joints can be dislocated. some of you act as if you don't have a brain in your head.


When muscle and bones act together in the body as a lever system the pivot point or fulcrum of the ststem is?

pivot point or fulcrum are the joints in the muscle.


What are a cartilage pads function?

Cartilage pads serve to cushion and support joints in the body, helping to reduce friction and absorb shock during movements. They also aid in distributing forces evenly across the joint surface, providing stability and facilitating smooth joint motion.


To accomplish movement bones and muscles function together to act as?

Muscles contract and relax to move bones at joints. This coordinated action allows for smooth and precise movements. The muscles provide the force needed to move the bones, and the bones provide a framework for muscles to exert their force.


Collection of organs whose primary function is movement?

muscular system


What parts of your body act as linkages?

Joints in the body, such as the knee and elbow, act as linkages that connect bones and allow for movement. Muscles also act as linkages by transferring force from one part of the body to another, enabling various movements and activities.


Diagram of cartilage?

Cartilage is a connective tissue found between bones, joints, the ear, the nose, the rib cage, and at the inter-vertebral discs to act as shock absorbers.


The joints of your body act like the bar of a lever?

Yes, joints in the body act as pivot points for movement, similar to how a bar functions in a lever system. This allows muscles to apply force and create movement around the joint. The arrangement of bones and muscles around a joint determines the leverage and range of motion that can be achieved.
