A place where two or more bones meet.

Bones provide attachment points for muscles, while joints provide places where bones can move relative to one another.

When explaining movement, link the systems: a muscle contracts, pulls on a bone through a tendon, and moves the bone at a joint.

Link each joint type to a named joint and a movement, rather than simply listing joint types.

If asked to identify a joint type, give ‘hinge’ or ‘ball and socket’, not just the body location.
