<h3>What is a joint?</h3>
A joint is a point where two bones come together to form a framework that allows movement. Ligaments are the tissues that connect bones. Tissue connects muscles to bones via tendons.
A joint is a connection that occurs between bones in the skeletal system. It is also known as an articulation or articular surface. The ability to move is provided by the joints. The degree and type of movement of a joint are determined by its type and characteristics. Structure and function can be used to classify joints.
