Cracking Knuckles #shorts
Do you want to know the secret behind the cracking sound when you crack your knuckles? That's because you accidentally created small explosions between your joints! Inside your joints, there are air bubbles containing precious gases like nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide. These air bubbles are formed from gases dissolved in synovial fluid - a type of mucus that helps bone ends slide past each other smoothly. When you crack your knuckles, you change the pressure in the joint cavity, causing these air bubbles to rise and burst, creating a strange sound. Don't worry, this is a natural phenomenon and does not affect your health, unless you find your joints painful, swollen, stiff, or less flexible. However, if you frequently crack your knuckles intentionally or too forcefully, you can cause damage to the tissues surrounding the joint such as ligaments, tendons, muscles, or cartilage. This can reduce joint stability and increase the risk of inflammation or osteoarthritis. So, please crack your knuckles gently!
