Summary Introduction
To review:
1. The relation between structure of the joints and the functions of each limb.
2. The movements that are unique to the upper limb and the joints that help in these movements.
Introduction:
The bones are responsible for constituting the structural framework of the body. The joints are responsible for attaching various bones in the skeleton system. Their structures allow wide ranges of movements such as gliding, angular movement, and rotation. The most flexible type of joints are the synovial joints.

What are biofertilizers and mention the significance
PCBs and River Otters: Otters in Washington State’s Green-Duwamish River have high levels of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) in their livers. PCBs can bind to the estrogen receptors in animals and disrupt the endocrine system of these otters. The PCBs seem to increase the estrogen to androgen ratio, skewing the ratio toward too much estrogen.
How would increased estrogen affect the river otter population?

- magine that you are conducting research on fruit type and seed dispersal. You submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal that addresses the factors that impact fruit type and seed dispersal mechanisms in plants of Central America. The editor of the journal communicates that your paper may be published if you make ‘minor revisions’ to the document. Describe two characteristics that you would expect in seeds that are dispersed by the wind. Contrast this with what you would expect for seeds that are gathered, buried or eaten by animals, and explain why they are different.
