We do, but our bodies are quite well designed in some ways ...
including having all our joints lubricated (called synovial fluid)

Is there friction in your body?
Friction exists in the joints between the bones. Cartilage reduces the drag.Also, blood flowing through the vessels causes friction. That is where we get the blood pressure from.
What is the difference between a bursa and the joint capsule?
I this its the following: Bursae - located between skin and bones, tendons and bones, muscles and bones, or ligaments and bones - Main function: reduce friction between joints Joint Capsule - surrounds a synovial joint and encloses the synovial cavity - Main function: unite the articulating bones and reduce friction via production of synovial fluid
Why does not having friction make it unsafe to use small rugs on the floor?
If there is no friction between the rugs and the floor, they become large skating objects that can easily dump you on your rear end, possible breaking bones.
What is the force that opposes motion between two objects?
Kinetic FrictionA more simple definition is "a force that oppsoes motion". i actually dont know the real answer so i wrote this cause it looks smart :D... sorry for wasting your time!!!!
What is the friction between moving particles called?
The friction between moving particles is called friction.
What avoids friction between bones?
Cartilage
Does the cartilage reduce friction between bones?
Yes, it does, since it acts as a cushion between the bones
What cushions and reduces friction between bones?
cartilage
Does Articular cartilage increase friction between bones?
Cartilage in joints REDUCE friction.
Animal tissue that reduces friction between bones at joints?
yes it reduces friction between bones, and also, synovial fluid reduces friction at the joints as well.
How is friction between bones kept to a minimum?
synovial fluid Plus the cartridge on the ends of the bones in a movable joint.
Is cartilage slippery?
because it needs to be able to reduce friction between bones
Why is fluid important between bones?
Synovial fluid is important between the bones because it helps reduce the friction between the bones. This fluid also lets a person move his joints more freely.

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 function of cartilage in adult bones?
In most cases, for adults, cartilage usually sits on ends of bones to prevent friction between other bones. -JoshuaP
