What causes your bones to make a popping sound?

Popping of the chest is caused by the cavitation of the ribbones connection to the sternum. The sternum is the large bone section at the front center of the ribcage structure. Along either side of the sternum the coastal cartilage (plural) connect the rib and the sternum. Where these connections meet the sternum are joints similar to those of the rest of the body. At these points (as in your fingers) your bones can pop or undergo cavitation (the rupturing of separated of gas bubbles mixed into fluids, resulting in the popping sound).


What is the name of the joint in your skull?

The joints between bones of the skull are immovable and called sutures. The three pairs of coxal bones are separate at birth, but by the age of ten, they have become fused together; there is no movement between the ilium, ischium and pubis. The sacrum, also fused, articulates with the innominates at two joints called the right and left sacroiliac joints, or SIJs. These joints have a small amount of movement. The innominates are joined at the bottom front of the pelvis to the symphysis pubis, a piece of tough cartilage. The right and left pubic symphysis joints are also called the PSJs. There is very limited movement at these joints, though they become more flexible in women during pregnancy and childbirth. The sacrum and coccyx (or tailbone) also have a joint, called the sacrococcygeal joint, with a small range of movement. This joint is important in the functioning of the muscles of the pelvic floor and spine.

Is swimming good for your body?

Yes. Some consider swimming the best exercise. This assumes you are working at it not just floating on your back paddling. Swimming laps using a stroke such as the front crawl or the breast stroke, you use the muscles of your legs, arms, shoulders, buttocks and more. And the impact/pounding of bones and joints experienced in running, jogging are avoided. It also avoids the possibility of over heating.
