What covers the ends of bones in adults?
The ends of bones in adults are covered with cartilage. Cartilage is a tough yet flexible tissue that helps to protect bones and allows them to move more freely where bone meets bone (a joint). There are different types of cartilage in the body. The cartilage that covers the ends of bones at a joint is known as articular cartilage, a specific type of hyaline cartilage.
What are the ends of bones covered with and why?
The end of bones are covered with a smooth, slippery, thick layer of tissue called CARTILAGE.WHY?Because it is flexible and important in joints because it acts as a shock absorber.It also makes movement easier. HOW? (how does it make movement easier?)By reducing friction that would be caused by bones rubbing together.Also a special tissue called Periosteum
Which part of the bone is responsible for flexibility?
The ends of the bones or the joints are covered in cartilage and lubricated with sinovial fluid to make a skeleton flexible. Bones themselves are not flexible at all.
Where is cartilage found on a long bone?
It is found at either end of the long bones where it provides a shockabsorbance in the synovial joint capsule.
Why the bone is not smooth?
The ends of some bones are smooth because they form joints. These are referred to as freely moving joints and they are the most common ones in your body. The ends of the bones are smooth because they are covered in hyaline cartilage, which is like soft marble. Inside the joint capsule that contains the ends of the bones with the hyaline cartilage there is a lubricant called synovial fluid that helps the joint move with minimal amount of friction.
Do synovial joints have bones covered in hyaline cartilage?
the ends of the bones are, yes
What is thick smooth layer of tissue that covers the ends of the bones?
cartilage :{D

Are bones covered by skin and muscle?
are bones covered by skn

How do you xxplain the importance of cartilage?
The ends of the bones are covered with a tough elastic tissue called cartilage. cartilage makes the ends of the bones smooth and reduces friction between the bones during movement cartilage is also present in various other parts of our body . you could feel cartilage in the upper part of your ear and in the front part of your nose . these parts are not as hard as bones and can bend
What ends of the bones?
Cartilage covers the ends of bones at joints, while a ligament is the tissue that connects two bones to form a joint.
Functions of periosteum and explain why it is not found in synovial joints?
The periosteum provides nourishment and attachment sites on bone. Since the ends of bones in synovial joints are covered in hyaline cartilage, they do not need to be covered by the protective layer of periosteum.
Distal and proximal ends of long bones?
The epiphyses are the distal and proximal ends of long bones
