ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -A joint is the part of the body where two or more bones meet to allow movement. Every bone in the body – except for the hyoid bone in the throat – meets up with at least one other bone at a joint. The shape of a joint depends on its function. A joint is also known as an articulation.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ligament: A short band of tough, flexible fibrous connective tissue which connects two bones or cartilages or holds together a joint.

Detailed explanation-3: -Ligaments often connect two bones together, particularly in the joints: Like strong, firmly attached straps or ropes, they stabilize the joint or hold the ends of two bones together. This ensures that the bones in the joint don’t twist too much or move too far apart and become dislocated.

Detailed explanation-4: -Joints-an area where 2 or more bones come together. Cartilage-provides cushioning inside joints (such as in the knee joint), or connects one bone to another (as in cartilaginous joints). Muscles-there are around 600 muscles in the human body. They help the body move.
