Examples of rigid joints?

Examples of rigid joints in the human body include sutures in the skull, where bones are tightly fused together with very little movement possible. Additionally, synarthroses joints, such as the joints between the teeth and mandible, are also considered rigid because they do not allow for significant movement.

The method of sections involves cutting through a structure to analyze specific sections for forces and stresses, while the method of joints analyzes the forces at individual joints in a structure to determine overall stability and strength.


Why is important to reduce friction at moveable joints?

Reducing friction at movable joints helps to improve movement efficiency, reduce wear and tear on the joint surfaces, and decrease the risk of injuries such as strains and sprains. This is especially important for athletes and individuals involved in physical activities that place repeated stress on the joints.

Joints allow a person to talk?

Yes.... the main one would be the joints between your jaw (mandible) and your skull - the temporomandibular joint (or TMJ) for short. You couldn't talk without breathing so joints involved in this will include all the joints between the thoracic spine and the ribs, the ribs and the sternum and the sternum and the clavicles.
