Which part of the bone is responsible for flexibility?
The ends of the bones or the joints are covered in cartilage and lubricated with sinovial fluid to make a skeleton flexible. Bones themselves are not flexible at all.
What is The type of tissue that covers the ends of bones at the joints?
cartilage
What are synchondroses?
cartilaginous joints where hyaline cartilage unites the ends of bones
What are expanded ends of bones that form joints with adjacent bones?
The head (as opposed the the thin, elongated shaft).
How do cartilage bursae and synovial fluid help reduce friction in the knee joints?
Bone articulate at joints. There are several kinds of joints. The most flexible are the synovial joints, such as the knee and elbow. In these joints the ends of the bones are covered with articular cartilage. The cartilage protects the ends of the bones. Synovial fluid bathes the cartilage to provide lubrication. This is just like oil in a door hinge to keep it running smoothly. The bursa is a bag that surrounds the joint. It's job is to hold the fluid in the joint. The lining of the bursal also makes the fluid. It is a neat system to keep the joints "oiled".

What is the sort of substance that cushions the ends of bones and form flexible parts like the ear and nose?
tendon
What ends of the bones?
Cartilage covers the ends of bones at joints, while a ligament is the tissue that connects two bones to form a joint.
Do synovial joints have bones covered in hyaline cartilage?
the ends of the bones are, yes
Why are the ends of the bones smooth?
so they can move easily in joints

What are the ends of bones covered with and why?
The end of bones are covered with a smooth, slippery, thick layer of tissue called CARTILAGE.WHY?Because it is flexible and important in joints because it acts as a shock absorber.It also makes movement easier. HOW? (how does it make movement easier?)By reducing friction that would be caused by bones rubbing together.Also a special tissue called Periosteum
The resilient substance that keeps bone ends from crushing when compressed is?
The substance that keeps bone ends from crushing when compressed is Joints.
What is the texture of the material at the end of bones?
The ends of bones in moveable joints is like soft but tough leather. At the other joints it varies from thick fibers to none.
