The hypodermis is the subcutaneous tissue that lies underneath the skin. The reason why the hypodermis acts as a shock absorber is because it is mostly made up of adipose tissue.
the major part of its makeup is adipose, which serves as an effective shock absorber
it is part of a cars suspension
Hydraulic shock absorber
The soft triangular part of a pony's foot is called the frog. It acts as a shock absorber and helps with circulation in the hoof.
The periosteum is the outer membrane of a long bone that helps reduce friction by providing a smooth surface for tendons and ligaments to glide over. Additionally, periosteum contains nerve endings that can provide feedback to the body about potential damage or pain, acting as a shock absorber.
They are an integral part of the steering and suspension that also performs like a shock absorber. They can be on the front or the rear.
Shock is short for shock absorber and mountis where it's attached. Usually found in vehicles, where shock absorbers as a part of the suspension works to provide the vehicle with a smoother ride when going over bumps.
The frog is the soft, triangular cushion on the underside of a horse's hoof. It acts as a shock absorber and helps with traction, especially on slippery surfaces. The frog also aids in circulation within the hoof.
A 'strut' is an abbreviation of the word 'Macphereson strut - named after its Scottish inventor. A 'shock' is an abbreviation of the word 'Shock absorber'. The Macphereson strut is a suspension component that has a 'damper' (or shock absorber) and a heavy duty spring all in the same unit. The spring allows the vehicle to travel over bumps without the vibrations from the road surface transferring to the vehicle body and the Shock absorber is designed to remove the oscillations in the spring caused by the road surface (it slows it down and stops it from continually bouncing by having a 'Dampening' effect). A 'Shock absorber or Damper' is a single component that is part of the suspension doing the same job as above but is a separate unit to the road spring which allows it/them to be removed or replaced independently of each other.
