Ligaments hold the bones together and prevent dislocation Did you know? If someone’s ligaments are loose, we say they are double-jointed © HEB

9 Structure of a Movable Joint
The ends of the bone are covered in smooth slippery cartilage to reduce friction and stop them wearing away © HEB

10 Structure of a Movable Joint
Synovial fluid inside the joint lubricates it and also reduces friction © HEB
