Joint morphology is a branch of anatomy that focuses on the structure and function of joints in the human body. This includes the study of how joints are formed, their movements, their stability, and their interactions with surrounding tissues such as muscles, ligaments, and cartilage. Research in joint morphology often involves studying the shape, size, and composition of different types of joints, as well as how they vary between individuals and across species. This information can help in understanding the biomechanics of movement, diagnosing and treating joint disorders, and designing prosthetic devices.
