Joints are the places where two bones meet.
There are:
- Fixed joints, such as the skull.
-Movable joints, such as the knee or elbow.
-Gliding joints, such as between vertebrae.
The ends of the bones are covered with flexible tissue called cartilage. The bones of a joint are connected by strong elastic tissues called ligaments.
