A joint is a structure in the body where two or more bones connect, allowing movement and providing support.
Joints can be classified into different types, including hinge joints (permitting back-and-forth movement like the elbow), ball-and-socket joints (enabling a wide range of motion like the hip), and pivot joints (allowing rotational movement like the neck).
Cartilage, ligaments, and synovial fluid contribute to joint function and stability. Maintaining joint health is essential for overall mobility and physical well-being, and conditions affecting joints are collectively known as joint disorders or arthritis.
