they allow shock absorbstion in order for the two bones connected by the joint to move in a vast array of ways which most commonly is used for sporting activities
No, but they have cartilage. That's what makes the Earthworm move!
cartilage
Cartilage between the bones allows them to move easily and comfortably without the bones rubbing
cartilage
Cartilage cushions the ends of bones in the body, providing a smooth surface for joints to move without friction.
In adults, the ends of bones are covered by a type of connective tissue called articular cartilage. This cartilage provides a smooth surface that helps with joint movement and cushioning between bones.
Bones move by your musclesBones have joints that let them move back and forth, muscles help them move, and you need energy to move your body like healthy How_do_your_bones_move.
A combination of bones and cartilage form the skeletal system in the body, providing support, structure, and protection for internal organs. Bones are hard and rigid, while cartilage is smooth and flexible, helping joints move smoothly and acting as a cushion between bones.
The material that covers the end of bones to reduce friction at joints is called articular cartilage. This smooth, slippery tissue helps cushion the ends of bones and allows them to move smoothly against each other in the joint.
Cartilage (also known as: articular cartilage)
Hyaline cartilage covers the ends of bones in many joints. It provides a slippery surface to reduce friction during bone movement.
Cartilage is tough and elastic. It absorbs the shock, like when you jump and move. There will be great trauma and wear and tear of the bones in the joint, in absence of the cartilage.
