Bones are hard structures and cannot be bent. But, we can still bend our elbow, knee, etc. How is this possible?

Answers (1)

Bones are hard structures and cannot be bent. But, we can still bend our elbow, knee, etc., this is possible because of the presence of different types of joints between the bones. Our elbow and knee are not made up of a single bone but two or more bones that are joined to each other by a hinge joint. This joint along with the muscles help us to bend and move the elbow and knee smoothly.
