Joints can be fractured or broken. True False?
False. Joints themselves do not typically fracture or break; rather, bones can be fractured or broken at the joint. A joint is where two or more bones meet, and while ligaments and cartilage can be damaged, the term "fracture" specifically refers to a break in the bone.
Thin and fragile bones means?
they mean you are probally getting older and you are more likely to break a bone due to a fall
What is the union of two or more bones?
The union of two or more bones is called a joint. Joints are connections between bones that allow for movement and flexibility in the body. There are different types of joints, including hinge joints, ball-and-socket joints, and pivot joints.
What are your bones connected by?
Bones in the body are connected by joints, which are areas where two or more bones meet. Joints can be classified as immovable (such as in the skull), slightly movable (such as in the spine), and freely movable (such as in the knee or hip). They provide the flexibility and support needed for movement and stability in the body.
Are joints muscles or bones?
Joints are where 2 bones meet so I suppose you could call them bones but really they are a different thing all together
How many different types of joints are there in a human skeleton?
Fibrous joints connect bones to minimize movement. The bones of your skull and pelvis are held together by fibrous joints. Cartilaginous joints are joints in which the bones are attached by cartilage. These joints allow for only a little movment, such as in the spine or ribs. Synovial joints allow for much more movement than cartilaginous joints. Cavaties between bones in synovial joints are filled with synovial fluid. This fluid helps lubricate and protect the bones. Bursa sacks contain the synovial fluid.
What do bones form when they come together?
When bones come together, they form joints. Joints are connections between two or more bones that allow for movement and provide structural support to the body. There are different types of joints, such as pivot, hinge, ball and socket, and gliding joints.
How does the bones of the human hands join together?
The joints between the carpal bones are irregular synovial joints. The bones are held together more firmly by a relatively complex network of ligaments.
What is the area where two or more bones join together?
The area where two or more bones join together is called a joint. Joints allow for movement and provide stability to the skeletal system. Examples of joints include the knee, elbow, and shoulder.
