Answer:

Summary. The shoulder joint is the most flexible and complex joint of the body enabling a wide range of movements to the upper extremities.

Step-by-step explanation:

The spherical head of the long bone of the arm fits loosely into the socket of the glenoid cavity of the shoulder bone to form a ball and socket joint.

We have that the strengths and limitations of the body’s joints are

Strengths

  • The Joints are necessary for growth and stability of the skeletal structure of the body and prevention of breakdown,
  • The joints enables the entire human body to initiate movement through out the body in order to perform activities

Limitations

  • Joints are held together by Ligaments which tends to ache with lack of exercise or old age
  • The bones are held separately allowing for locomotion but causing for easier separation or detaching of bone segments from one another

For this Question we have to explore the strengths and limitations of the body’s joints

Joints

This is a place in the body where there is a joining of two bones.

Joints have two main strengths in the human body as it is necessary for growth and stability of the skeletal structure of the body and prevention of breakdown

The joints enables the entire human body to initiate movement through out the body in order to perform activities

Joints in holding the structure of the body means bones are segments apart from each other and are held together by Ligaments which tends to ache with lack of exercise or old age

The bones are held separately allowing for locomotion but causing for easier separation or detaching of bone segments from one another

In conclusion

Strengths

  • The Joints are necessary for growth and stability of the skeletal structure of the body and prevention of breakdown,
  • The joints enables the entire human body to initiate movement through out the body in order to perform activities

Limitations

  • Joints are held together by Ligaments which tends to ache with lack of exercise or old age
  • The bones are held separately allowing for locomotion but causing for easier separation or detaching of bone segments from one another
