the first function of a fat pad is cushioning and the second is shock absorption. You can find them in Synovial joints.
The major functions of synovial fluid are nutritive, lubricating and shock absorbing as well as having a minor excretory function ,maintenance of the joint stability and prevention of the ends of the joints from being eroded.
Bursa sacs are both the shock absorbers and the ball bearings of the musculoskeletal system. They disperse forces from blows on bony prominences and reduce friction where tendons or ligaments are in frequent motion. A bursa sac functions as a gliding surface to reduce friction between tissues of the body. The plural of bursa is "bursae". There are 160 bursae in the body. The major bursae are located adjacent to the tendons near the large joints, such as the shoulders, elbows, hips, and knees.

Body goes into shock
Shock anxiety guilt and disress
SomeThing that absorbs the shock
Gym mats do have a better shock absorption that a regular floor because they are designed to absorb shock. They have shock absorbing bases and support almost all parts of the body.
Shock absorption
electrictical shock
Shock or other trauma can reduce the absorption of alcohol into the blood.
hypertension
Noise and shock absorption.
Friction causes it.
Adipose tissue
Hypovolemic shock markedly decreases total liver blood flow by a reduction in portal venous blood flow.
The running deck on the treadmill is secured at the back to provide the best shock absorption.
Friction loss is the loss of energy that occurs in pipe flow due to viscous effects generated by the surface of the pipe. Shock loss is an huge loss that causes an adverse effect on an insurerâ??s assets.
