Explain how cartilage in the joints helps to absorb the shock of running on hard roads?
they're the shock absorbers when the energy from the foot is repelled from the hard road and travels up the leg. The bones are rigid and don't dampen the shockwave, while the cartilage may act like a sponge or a suspension fork on a bike (depends on how you want to picture it.)
I'm pretty sure that it's the leg muscles that absorb most of the shock.
What else can I help you with?
Flexible connective tissue at joints?
cartilage
What is the largest cartilage in body?
The largest cartilage in the body is the articular cartilage, which covers the ends of bones where they meet to form joints.
What is the flexible connective tissue at joints?
This connective tissue are called ligaments. Ligaments connect bones to bones while tendons connect muscles to bones. They are exactly the same tissue but terminology makes the names different.
Are synthranotic joints cartiligonous?
Yes, synchondroses joints are a type of synarthrosis joints that are cartilaginous. Synchondroses joints are joined together by hyaline cartilage. Synchondroses joints are the only type of synarthrosis joints that are cartilaginous.
The connection tissue that cushions the verebrate and felxiablity to joints are known as?
Cartilage. It acts just like a cushion!
What is The type of tissue that covers the ends of bones at the joints?
cartilage
What are the ends of bones covered with?
The ends of bones are covered with a layer of smooth, shiny cartilage called articular cartilage. This cartilage helps reduce friction and absorb shock in joints, allowing for smooth movement and flexibility.
Forms embryonic skeleton and the surface of the bones at the joints reinforces the trachea?
Cartilage forms the embryonic skeleton before being replaced by bone. Additionally, cartilage at joints provides a smooth surface for movement and helps absorb shock. In the trachea, cartilage rings provide structure and prevent collapse during breathing.
What area of the long bone is covered with cartilage?
The ends of long bones are covered with cartilage, known as articular cartilage. This cartilage helps reduce friction and absorb shock within joints, allowing for smooth movement and protecting the bone from wear and tear.
Do cartilage and tendons hold joints together?
Yes, cartilage and tendons hold joints together.
What is the cartilage articulates with another bone or bone process called?
The cartilage that articulates with another bone or bone process is called articular cartilage. It covers the ends of bones within joints and helps to reduce friction and absorb shock during movement.
What is another name for cartilaginous joints?
Another name for cartilaginous joints is amphiarthrosis joints. These joints allow for limited movement and are held together by cartilage.
What is the relation between cartilage and bones?
Cartilage cushions the joints
What system is the cartilage in?
The cartilage is found between all joints
What systems is cartilage in?
The cartilage is found between all joints
What absorbs shock and reduces friction in joints?
Cartilage absorbs shock and reduces friction in joints by providing a smooth surface for bones to glide against each other and by acting as a cushion to absorb impact forces.
What is the function of cartilage in joints?
This may not be correct, but i have been told that cartilage is to stop joints from rubbing together and getting worn out.
