Researchers found evidence that the joints evolved as the species became active predators with jaws and mobile skeletons.

The researchers also studied fossils of extinct fishes dating back almost 400 million years and saw evidence that some of the oldest jawed fishes had bones with joint cavities for articulated ...

In a recent study published in PLOS Biology, developmental biologists from the University of Chicago explored the origins of ...

Cartilage is found at the ends of bones and where joints meet. Tendons attach muscles to the skeleton. Synovial joints (freely movable joints) allow us the free movement to perform skills and ...

This new guide, compiled by the health education team at Valleant, provides information both for those looking to prevent joi ...

A new study from the University of Chicago has uncovered the surprising origin of the flexible joints that allow us to move our shoulders, knees, and elbows smoothly. These joints, called synovial ...

Tendons surrounding the finger and toe joints control the movement of the digits. A sheath, called the synovial membrane, surrounds the tendons. If the synovial membrane becomes inflamed ...

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disorder that may affect many tissues and organs, but principally attacks flexible (synovial) joints. The process produces an ...

Your knuckles have a slippery fluid inside the joint (synovial fluid). This fluid helps you bend your knuckles smoothly. There are also gases in this fluid, such as carbon dioxide. After you pull ...

A joint is a place where two or more bones meet and is also called an articulation. Synovial joints (freely movable joints) allow us the free movement to perform skills and techniques during ...
