Joints
2
Kinds of Joints A joint is the part of the skeletal system where 2 or more bones meet. Joints make it possible for the body to have a wide range of motion like twisting and bending. Joints are padded with a rubbery tissue called cartilage. Nobody knows why joints crack. It may be from tiny air bubbles that form in the joint, or from a tight tendon and ligament snapping over a bone when moving. Cracking your joints on purpose can damage the joint surface.
