Try the joints:
hip, knee, ankle.
If bones did not have joints between them, you would not be able to move; would not be able to bend you arms, legs, etc.
Yes, the bones in your arm do cross when you bend your elbow. The ulna and radius, which are the two bones in your forearm, move in relation to each other when you bend your elbow.
Mr Bobby
The bones bend because they are not as strong as they should be. The legs bend because they bear weight and the arms don't.
by using their legs, slithering, or swimming.
Bone ends are surrounded by cartilage which connect to other bones with ligaments so that the bone ends can bend (articulate). The bones are also attached to tendons that connect to muscle tissue. When your brain send a single to certain muscles to contract or expand, they pull on the bones so tyat they bend/move within the limits of their connection to other bones so that they will not bend in directions they are not supposed to move.
Muscles supply support and a way for bones to move/bend at the joints without falling apart.

Bones do not bend directly, they bend at the joints (points at which two bones meet).
Skeletal muscles move bones. A pair of muscles is required to move a bone -- one muscle to straighten the joint, and another to bend the joint.
They can bend slightly under pressure but they aren't soft, no
It connects bones and allows them to bend and move (like your elbow and knees).
