PPT-Joints of the human body

Joints of the human body Joints are the point of contact articulations between two connecting bones The stability and the integrity of joints are maintained by strands of connective tissue called ligaments which hold bones together. The overall tendency is to shrink and this can cause cracking at an early age Irregular cracks are unsightly and difficult to maintain but gen erally do not affect the integrity of concrete Joints are simply preplanned cracks Joints in concrete slab What would life be like without . .
