Actually it's cartilages and the synovial fluid which makes the joint movements smooth.....
The depression on the surface of a bone is called a fossa. It is a shallow, basin-like structure that typically serves as an attachment site for muscles or tendons.
cartilage is dense connective tissue and the cartilage of the long bone is articular hyaline cartilage, located on the outer surface of the articulating portion of the long bone.
A shallow basin-like depression in a bone that often serves as an articular surface is called a fossa. These depressions allow for articulation and movement between bones in the skeletal system.
Dense irregular connective tissue can be found in the periosteum, which is the outermost layer of the bone. It helps to protect the bone and provide support by anchoring tendons and ligaments to the bone surface.
Dislocation.
Articular cartilage, also called hyaline cartilage, is the smooth, glistening white tissue that covers the surface of all the freely moveable joints, such as the knee and shoulder, in the human body.
the portion of the femur bone that helps makes up the knee cap is considered what
Fossa = Shallow depression or dip in the surface of a bone Process = Bone marking which stick out from the rest of the bone
A bone that is platelike is classified as a flat bone. Flat bones, such as the skull or ribs, have a flattened, thin shape and provide protection and support.
The hyoid bone is the only bone in the human body that does not articulate with any other bone. It is located in the neck and serves as an attachment point for muscles associated with swallowing and speech.
Fossa - a shallow depression or hollow in bone, typically serving as an attachment site for muscles or articulations with other bones.
