Question

Glidins

Answer 1

The type of joints that connect flat bony surfaces while keeping them slightly separate to avoid friction are called gliding joints or plane joints. These joints allow for limited movement in multiple directions while permitting the bones to glide over each other, which helps reduce friction and allows for smooth motion. Examples of gliding joints include the intercarpal joints in the wrist and the intertarsal joints in the ankle.
