Bone ends are surrounded by cartilage which connect to other bones with ligaments so that the bone ends can bend (articulate). The bones are also attached to tendons that connect to muscle tissue. When your brain send a single to certain muscles to contract or expand, they pull on the bones so tyat they bend/move within the limits of their connection to other bones so that they will not bend in directions they are not supposed to move.
