Movement Question

This is probably a simple question that I may know but I want expert opinions. When they say a movement has lets say 31 jewels why do they use jewels? Is it so the movement will produce less friction? What does the number of jewels have to do with how smooth the watch runs? Do they use real jewels or artificial?

Thanks, Tyler
