Most joints that unite the bones of the appendicular skeleton are synovial joints, which allow for a wide range of motion. These joints, such as the shoulder and hip, are characterized by a fluid-filled joint cavity, articular cartilage, and a surrounding joint capsule. They facilitate movements like flexion, extension, rotation, and abduction, essential for activities such as walking, running, and reaching. Other types of joints in the appendicular skeleton include fibrous and cartilaginous joints, but they generally allow for less movement.

Why children have more flexible joints than adult?

They have more flexible joints because the younger children are the less their bones and joints have formed. Because they are so unformed, the bones are also able to stretch. If you don't practice as you grow older the bones and joints form fully and grow stronger and you lose your flexibility. After this it is harder to become flexible. On the other hand because your bones and joints are not formed properly yet they not only are flexible but can also break easily and then heal quickly too. It's ironic. You can bend incredibly, but break easily, and then you heal easily.

270 bones with manes in kids body?

Children are born with approximately 270 bones, but as they grow, some of these bones fuse together, resulting in the 206 bones typically found in an adult human body. The presence of more bones in infants is due to the fact that certain bones, such as those in the skull and spine, begin as multiple pieces that gradually unite. This process allows for growth and development as the child matures. By adulthood, the reduction in bone count is a natural part of skeletal development.
