What cushions and reduces friction between bones?
cartilage
What type of tissue covers the epiphysis bones and reduces friction in the joints?
Articular cartilage
Is there friction in your body?

This is a layer of hyaline cartilage that reduces friction between bones involved in the joint?

What is the function of hyaline that covers the articulating surfaces?
absorbs any compression placed on the joint, reduces friction between bones, and prevents the ends of the bones from being crushed
What is the function of hyaline that covers the articulating surface?
absorbs any compression placed on the joint, reduces friction between bones, and prevents the ends of the bones from being crushed
Why is it important for a bursa to be located between movable bones?
A bursa acts as a cushioning and lubricating structure that reduces friction and allows for smooth movement between bones. Having a bursa between movable bones helps to prevent wear and tear on the joint surfaces, decreasing the risk of pain, inflammation, and injury.
What is the function of cartlidge?
Cartilage acts as a cushion and reduces the friction between the bones and in some cases holds bones together, like rib cartilage. Cartilage is found in between bones, in the nose, ears and intervertebral discs just to name a few.
What is the name of the material that covers the end of bones to reduce friction at joint?
articular cartilage a subset of hyaline cartilage
How do you xxplain the importance of cartilage?
