Which term describes the point where two or more bones meet?

• A. Joint
• B. Tendons
• C. Bones
• D. Cartilage

Answer: (A)

The point where two or more bones meet is called a joint. Joints connect bones and allow movement while providing stability, with supporting structures like ligaments holding the bones together and cartilage lining the bone ends to cushion them and reduce friction. Tendons connect muscles to bones, so they’re not the meeting point itself. Bones are the individual bones, not the junction where they meet. Cartilage is tissue that cushions surfaces, not the joining point. Examples include the knee, elbow, and shoulder joints.
