why it is important to reduce friction at movable joint?
agrit maheshwari
friction will resist smooth motion at a moveable joint so reducing friction allows joint to move freely

∙ 6y agoToo much friction makes working parts and joints wear out quicker, and take more energy to make the parts move. An electric motor may work efficiently, using less electrical energy, if friction is kept to a low level. But, the motor would have to work much harder and use more energy if the friction of moving parts were not kept well lubricated.

How does the human body reduce friction?
The human body creates synovial fluid, which is found in our joints. This is a lubricating fluid, which reduces friction. When a joint loses its synovial fluid, bones can touch each other, which causes joint pain. This can be alleviated medically by having a series of joint injections with an artificial synovial fluid called hyaluronic acid. There are two common supplements, which are also used to reduce joint friction, glucosamine and chondroitin.
