Question
Chapter 40.2, Problem 6LO
Summary Introduction
To compare: The main types of vertebrate joints.
Introduction: Bones are connected to each other at certain junctions. These junctions are called articulations or joints. The bones are covered by articular cartilage, at the joints. Besides connecting two bones, they aid flexibility of the organism and help in movement and locomotion.
