We could not do without them.\u003cbr\u003eBALL AND SOCKET JOINTS.\u003cbr\u003eAll our joints are not hinge-joints.\u003cbr\u003eYour shoulder has a joint that lets your arm swing round and round, as well as move up and down.\u003cbr\u003eYour hip has another that lets your leg move in much the same way.\u003cbr\u003e[Illustration: The hip-joint.]\u003cbr\u003eThis kind of joint is the round end or ball of a long bone, which moves in a hole, called a socket.\u003cbr\u003eYour joints do not creak or get out of order, as those of doors and gates sometimes do. A soft, smooth fluid, much like the white of an egg, keeps them moist and makes them work easily.\u003cbr\u003eBONES.\u003cbr\u003eWhat parts of our bodies are jointed together so nicely? Our bones.\u003cbr\u003eHow many bones have we?\u003cbr\u003eIf you should count all your bones, you would find that each of you has about two hundred.\u003cbr\u003eSome are large; and some, very small.\u003cbr\u003eThere are long-hones in your legs and arms, and many short ones in your fingers and toes.
