State the uses of joints
Dear student,
Joints are structural and functional junctions between 2 individual bone. There are 6 main types of joints (Ball-socket, Hinge, Condyloid, Pivotal, Gliding and Saddle joint), each one of them have their special functions, but overall following are the uses or functions of joints in Human body:
1. Provide connection between 2 bones.
2. Provide connection to muscles.
3. They make human body flexible.
4. They allow human body to be able to bend.
5. Allow different types of movements like forward, backwards, sideways and rotatory movements.
6. They help in dissipating effective weight of an object, such that it gets evenly distributed through entire body and allows human beings to raise heavy objects.
