Do pivot joints hold bones firmly together?
Joints themselves are not really designed for keeping your bones stable, body joints are designed to aid in the movement of a specific limb or aiding with the movement of the body, for example, your knee joint is called a "hinge" joint, think about it this way, you knee is capable of flexion, (bent knee) and extension (straight knee) try it, straighten the leg, and bend the leg, that's pritty much the only movements that specific joint is capable of doing, like a "door hinge" open and closed! now what does keep the bones stable is actually the muscles that surround the joints and the bones. You have ligements and Tendons, and both work together as well as many other purposes, but do work together in order to keep your bones stable. Ligements are designed to attach muscle to muscle, so imagine muscles all around your knee joint, above it you have your quadriceps or front thigh muscle, below your knee joint you have your tibialis anterior or shin bone muscle, these attach to each other in various diffrent places, around the front and around the back, by the side and the other side, its like a criss cross of muscle all around the body, as also around the joints. You also have what are called tendons, these are designed to attach muscle to bone, and are generally thicker and stronger then ligements, one you may be familiar with would possibly be your "herecules tendon" this is the muscle that attaches your gastrocnemius or calf muscle to the ball of your foot, and leaves that sticky out muscle on the back of either foot. now with both your tendons,ligements and joints working together, they combine to make what can only be described as one of the most advanced and amazing structures in the world lol! but these all working in conjuction do help to keep your body more stable, and do help with movement or locomotion as its called and help to keep the body firm strong and standing, hope this helped!
