Understanding Joints and Ligaments

The video tutorial explains the concept of joints, where two or more bones meet. It covers the two main types of joints: fixed and movable. Fixed joints, like those in the skull, do not move, while movable joints allow for various degrees of movement. The tutorial details four types of movable joints: ball and socket, hinge, pivot, and gliding joints, providing examples and explaining their functions. It concludes with a discussion on ligaments, which connect bones at joints, ensuring stability and movement.
