Artificial joints, as well as natural joints, basically use the same method as all sorts of machinery does, namely, lubrication.

How is friction reduced in joints like knees and elbows?

1. There is a thick liquid produced in the joint spaces to cushion and reduce friction. This viscous fluid is called synovial fluid.For additional information see related links.


Does Articular cartilage increase friction between bones?

Cartilage in joints REDUCE friction.


Is Friction reduced between polished surfaces?

when we polish surfaces, the molecules or atoms of surface come closer to each other so there is no space for fiction so it is reduced but not reduced to zerowe cant reduce friction to zeroWhen we polish a rough surface smoothly,the unequalities gets reduced,therefore friction is reduced


How can friction be reduced or if its helpful what can be done increase the friction?

Friction can be reduced by using lubricants like oil or grease on surfaces. To increase friction, surfaces can be roughened or materials with higher coefficients of friction can be used. Adjusting the weight or pressure between the surfaces can also increase friction.


What reduces friction in a joint?

Lubricating fluids like synovial fluid in the joint help reduce friction by providing a smooth surface for bones to glide against each other. Additionally, the cartilage covering the ends of bones acts as a cushion, reducing friction during movement. Strengthening the muscles around the joint can also help stabilize and support it, reducing friction.


How does the body cut down friction at joints?

What are two means by which friction may be reduced?

Lubrication and ball bearings both reduce friction.


Why is weight loss important in osteoarthritis?

Because the joints of the bone that Cary the weight are not functioning as well as they should. Therefore by reducing the load on joints further damage is reduced and the amount of pain caused by already damaged joints is also reduced.
