articulación

🧠 What does articulación mean?

In anatomy and medicine, an articulación refers to the junction where two or more bones meet. These junctions allow for movement and provide stability to the skeletal system. Articulaciones are classified based on their structure and the degree of movement they permit, ranging from immovable (fibrous) to freely movable (synovial). They are essential components of the musculoskeletal system and are susceptible to various conditions such as arthritis, inflammation, and injuries.
