"Joints"
Gristle between the bones is typically referred to as cartilage. Cartilage is a flexible connective tissue that provides support and cushioning at joints, as well as between bones, in the nose, ears, and other areas of the body. It plays a crucial role in the structural integrity and functionality of the skeletal system.
The thick smooth layer of tissue that covers the ends of bones is called articular cartilage. Its main function is to reduce friction between bones during movement and to provide cushioning and shock absorption.
Cartilage keeps bones from rubbing together and provides a smooth surface for movement at the joints
Tendons, ligaments and cartilege in between.
The bone is constructed of compact and spongy bone, unless you are referring to the cushioning between bone that bend called joints, you would have to be more specific
Those sac-like structures are called bursae. They contain a small amount of fluid to help reduce friction and provide cushioning between tissues such as muscles, tendons, and bones.
The joints of the body are cushioned by structures called cartilage. Cartilage acts as a shock absorber, reducing friction between bones and providing protection during movement. This cushioning helps to prevent damage to the bones and ensures smooth joint function.
Yes, cartilage is a component of the skeletal system. It is a flexible connective tissue that provides support and cushioning between bones.
Cartilage is connective tissue. So it kind of connects the bones. its also helps in cushioning them
A bursa acts as a cushioning and lubricating structure that reduces friction and allows for smooth movement between bones. Having a bursa between movable bones helps to prevent wear and tear on the joint surfaces, decreasing the risk of pain, inflammation, and injury.
Sutural or Wormian bones.
Synovial fluid reduces friction between bones at joints. It is a lubricating fluid secreted by the synovial membrane and contains hyaluronic acid and lubricin to facilitate smooth movement between bones.
