Types of Joints: The human body has several types of joints, including fibrous (immovable), cartilaginous (partially movable), and synovial (freely movable) joints.
Synovial Joints: These are the most common and movable type of joint in the body. They include hinge joints (like elbows, ball-and-socket joints (like shoulders and hips), and pivot joints (like the neck).
Joint Structure: Joints are formed where two or more bones meet. They typically include cartilage, ligaments, tendons, synovial fluid, and a synovial membrane.
Cartilage: This smooth tissue covers the ends of bones in a joint, reducing friction and absorbing shock during movement.
Ligaments and Tendons: Ligaments connect bones to other bones, providing stability to the joint, while tendons connect muscles to bones, enabling movement.
