You have the cartilages in the joints, which act as mechanical shock absorbers. But then you have other functional shock absorbers. You have arches in the foot, which act as shock absorbers. Then when you jump down, you have that spring like movement of the legs. That act as a shock absorbers.
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) acts as a shock absorber for the central nervous system. CSF surrounds the brain and spinal cord, providing cushioning and protection against impact or injury.
The spine acts as a shock absorber for the body. The intervertebral discs between the vertebrae help cushion the impact of movements and activities on the spine, reducing stress and protecting the spinal cord. The knee and elbow joints are not designed to absorb shocks in the same way as the spine.
To calculate the formula for a shock absorber, you would typically need to consider factors such as the mass of the vehicle, the velocity at impact, the damping coefficient of the shock absorber, and the spring constant of the suspension system. You can use equations of motion and principles of physics to derive the formula that relates these parameters to determine the behavior of the shock absorber. This formula is crucial for predicting how the shock absorber will perform in various conditions to provide proper vehicle suspension and control.
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.
The subcutis layer, also known as the hypodermis, provides insulation and cushioning for the body, helping to regulate temperature and protect underlying structures like muscles and bones. It also stores fat for energy and acts as a shock absorber.
Cartilage is important in joint because it acts as a shock absorber.
The shock absorber between bones is called cartilage.

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.
A bursa is the sac that acts as a shock absorber between tendon and bone. A rupture of the sac can cause damage as well as severe pain.
The air sac at the flat end of an egg acts as a shock absorber and later provides air.
Intervertebral discs
yup.
pericardium is a bag surronding the heart which acts as a shock absorber.
