Q

What are ligaments?

A

Bundles of connective tissues that connects to one bone. They keep our bones in place and stop us from moving them too far in any direction

40
Q

What are cartilages?

A

Cartilages are strong, but smoother than bone and more flexible

41
Q

What is synovial fluid?

42
Q

What is the respiratory system?

A

The network of organs and tissues that help you breathe

43
Q

How does gas exchange happen?
