a shock absorber to stop the bones hitting one other and being worn down which could cause very bad skeleton disorders in later life. Other key parts of joints are ligaments (which join bone to bone to keep the structure of the joint) and tendons (which join muscle to bone which is how the muscles are able to move the bones).
