What element is used to make artificial joints for bones?

Titanium and cobalt-chromium alloys are commonly used to make artificial joints for bones due to their biocompatibility, strength, and resistance to corrosion.


Is there nitrogen gas between your joints?

Scientists explain that synovial fluid present in your joints acts as a lubricant. The fluid contains the gases oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide. When you pop or crack a joint, you stretch the joint capsule. Gas is rapidly released, which forms bubbles. In order to crack the same knuckle again, you have to wait until the gases return to the synovial fluid.


What are the cracks in the block mountains called?

The cracks in block mountains are called joints. Joints typically form due to stress in the Earth's crust, causing the rock to fracture along natural planes of weakness.


Does Water erosion occurs when water seeps into cracks or joints in rock and then freezes?

There are four types of water erosion. They are freeze-thaw, biological, chemical, and exfoliation erosion. Freeze-thaw erosion occurs when water seeps into cracks or joints in rocks and then freezes.


What is the lowest point on mars?

The lowest point relative to "sea level" of Mars (officially measured relative to the "reference ellipsoid" for Mars) is Hellas Planitia. This huge impact crater is about 7km (4.5 miles) below the reference ellipsoid (below "sea level"). By comparison, the Challenger Depth in the Marianas Trench is the lowest point on the Earth's surface and is about 11km below sea level. (The lowest land elevation is the Dead Sea -- 422m below sea level. Water likes to fill in hole on the earth's surface!)

What is the name of the type of the joint found in the toes?

Hinge joints, ball-and-socket joints, ellipsoid joints, saddle joints and pivot joints.


What is an ellipsoidal joint in the body?

An ellipsoid joint, also called a condyloid joint, is classified as a synovial joint. An example would be your metacarpophalangeal joints (MCP) in your hands, between the matacarpal and first phalanx of the finger (your knuckle). It allows movement in two directions.


Are ellipsoid joints the same as condyloid joints?

no it is not. A condyloid joint is more like the ball and socket joint, but more slight. A saddle joint is two concave surfaces on top of each other, like a saddle


What kind of joints are between proximal phalanges and metacarpal bones?

The joints between the proximal phalanges and metacarpal bones are known as the metacarpophalangeal joints. These joints allow for flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction of the fingers.


What shape starts with E?

Ellipsoid.


Do synovial joints permit little movement of the articulating bones?

No, synovial joints joints are freely movable joints. There are six types of synovial joints: gliding (arthrodial), hinge (ginglymus), pivot (trochoid), ellipsoid, saddle, and ball and socket.


What is the name of the knuckle joint?

The interphalangeal joints in the fingers are synovial hinge joints. The thumb metacarpal is a saddle joint. The metacarpo-phalangeal joints are synovial ellipsoid joints.
