Shoulder dislocation is the injury where the upper arm is dislocated from its exact location of the socket of shoulder joint. This can also cause damage to the ligaments. Shoulder dislocation can be of three types: anterior, posterior and inferior.

2. It prevents toxic components from entering the cell.  

3. They distinguish essential but incompatible metabolic procedures conducted within the cell.
