Bone markings are the surface features of bones. They are sites of attachments for muscles, tendons, and ligaments. They are also passages for nerves and blood vessels.
The categories of bone markings are:
* projections and processes - grow out from the bone surface
* depressions or cavities - indentations

Joints are the place where two bones meet. All of your bones, except for one (the hyoid bone in your neck), form a joint with another bone. Joints hold your bones together and allow your rigid skeleton to move. Hope this helps?! :)

Bones form the frame of the body. They are connected at various types of joints and are held together by connective tissue.
Ligaments connect bone to bone. They are white, slightly elastic, and more flexible than tendons. Ligaments bind bone to bone to form joints. Tendons connect muscle to bone or in the case of aponeurosis, binds muscle to muscle.
It acts as a form of shock absorber or lubrication between bones, at joints where inadequate support would cause bone wear.
