This is the articular cartilage that provides for cushioned and lubricated movements at joints between bones (known as synovial joints)
What else can I help you with?
At the end of bones there is a tough smooth surface called what?
Each bone has a tough, smooth, shiny substance that covers the end. This substance that covers the ends of bones is called cartilage.
What covers the end of the bones to provide a smooth surface so that joints can move with little friction?
Cartilage (also known as: articular cartilage)
What is the Strong smooth tissue which covers the end of bones?
Cartilage
Articular cartilage found at the end of the long bones serves to?
Articular cartilage found at the end of long bones serves to reduce friction between bones during movement, distribute loads, and provide cushioning to absorb shocks. It also helps in maintaining joint flexibility and range of motion.
A smooth rounded end of a bone is called?
A smooth rounded end of the bone is called a condyle.
What is the texture of the material at the end of the bone?
The material at the end of bones is called articular cartilage, which has a smooth and slightly rubbery texture. Its primary function is to reduce friction and provide cushioning between bones at the joints to allow for smooth movement.
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.
A description the major bones?
The major bones of the arms are the humerus, radius, and the ulna. These are long bones that have tubular shaft and articular surface at each end.
What are the functions of ligaments tendons and cartilage?
Ligaments connect bone to bone and provide stability to joints. Tendons connect muscle to bone and facilitate movement. Cartilage acts as cushioning between bones, allowing for smooth joint motion and absorbing shock.
Why is it important to have articular cartilage at the ends of long bones?
Articular cartilage at the ends of long bones serves as a cushion, reducing friction and allowing smooth joint movement. It also helps distribute forces evenly across the joint surface, which is important for joint function and longevity. The cartilage also plays a role in absorbing shock and providing structural support to the bones.
What type of cartilage covers the end of bones?
hyaline cartilage is present in the end of long bones.
What would happen if a dinosaur died near a river?
If it died near a river, the bones might end up in the river by the water. The sand and waves will smooth out the dinosaurs' bones. In hundreds of years... The bones will turn into sand.
