Introduction:
In anatomy, joints or articulations is the area where two joints meet. It is made between different joints in the body, which links skeletal system into entire functional body.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Articulations is the proper term used as a synonym for joints. Articulations perform two fundamental functions (1) providing mobility and, (2) protection to skeleton.
Articulations or joints protect our body from various forces, such as crushing or tearing and forces them out of alignment.
