Overview
Joints are connections between bones that allow movement in the human body. There are different types of joints, including hinge joints (like the elbow) and ball-and-socket joints (like the hip). Cartilage, a smooth tissue, covers the ends of bones at joints, reducing friction and enabling smooth motion.Ball and Socket Joint
The ball and socket joint is a synovial joint. It consists of a spherical bone head that fits into a cup-shaped socket, held in place by ligaments and tendons. This type of joint is found in the hip and shoulder and allows backward, forward, sideways, and rotating movements.
