1 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.

3 Hinge Joint: allows the knee, knuckle, ankle, finger, & toe to bend.
Gliding or Sliding Joint: allows the wrist and spine to twist and bend. Ball & Socket Joint: allows the hip & shoulder to swivel. Pivot Joint: allows the elbow and neck to twist. Brainpop: Joint RMA
