Homonym: joints (Cannabis)
Joints are the places in our bodies where two or more bones meet. They allow for movement and flexibility, making activities like walking, running, and bending possible. Common types of joints include hinge joints, like the knees and elbows, which allow for back-and-forth movement, and ball-and-socket joints, like the shoulders and hips, which enable a wider range of motion.
In addition to bones, joints are supported by ligaments, which connect bones to each other, and cartilage, which cushions the ends of bones to prevent wear and tear. Keeping joints healthy is important for overall mobility and can be supported by regular exercise and a balanced diet.
