What else can I help you with?
What are tissues that cushions the end of bones where they meet in a joint called?
cartilage
What is the name of the material that covers the end of bones to reduce friction at joint?
The material that covers the end of bones to reduce friction at joints is called articular cartilage. This smooth, slippery tissue helps cushion the ends of bones and allows them to move smoothly against each other in the joint.
Where is cartilage found on a long bone?
It is found at either end of the long bones where it provides a shockabsorbance in the synovial joint capsule.
What function does cartilage perform in a joint?
It surrounds the end of the bone to prevent bones from grinding against each other. Cartilage acts as shock absorbers as well.
Why is it important to have articular cartilage at the ends of long bones?
Articular cartilage at the ends of long bones serves as a cushion, reducing friction and allowing smooth joint movement. It also helps distribute forces evenly across the joint surface, which is important for joint function and longevity. The cartilage also plays a role in absorbing shock and providing structural support to the bones.
What is the substance that makes the cartilage at the end of the bones slippery?
The substance that makes the cartilage at the end of the bones slippery is called synovial fluid. This viscous fluid is produced by the synovial membrane and serves to lubricate the joints, reduce friction during movement, and provide nourishment to the cartilage. The combination of cartilage and synovial fluid allows for smooth and pain-free joint motion.
What cushion the end of bones?
Cartilage
What is the Strong smooth tissue which covers the end of bones?
Cartilage
What type of cartilage covers the end of bones?
hyaline cartilage is present in the end of long bones.
Why is there cartilage on the end of bones?
Cartilage is connective tissue. So it kind of connects the bones. its also helps in cushioning them
What cover the end of some bones to absorb the energy form hard bumps?
cartilage
What are the ends of bones covered with and why?
The end of bones are covered with a smooth, slippery, thick layer of tissue called CARTILAGE.WHY?Because it is flexible and important in joints because it acts as a shock absorber.It also makes movement easier. HOW? (how does it make movement easier?)By reducing friction that would be caused by bones rubbing together.Also a special tissue called Periosteum
