X-rays pass through your soft muscle, but can't pass through the hard bone, forming an image with only your skeleton seen in detail, while there are thin traces of your muscle.

What are Physical and Human Maps For Geography?
They show the body parts and they show whats in the inside of your body
What makes x-ray machine show the bones?
Xrays are high energy waves that can penetrate soft tissue, like organs and skin, but not bones and teeth. Therefore, when you stand in the xray machine, the film is exposed to xrays only where they can pass through the body. Hence, you get pictures of bones and teeth but not organs and skin.
Tell do worms have bones?

Do you need a cast if you bruised your elbow bone?
usually the doctor's will take a few xrays before deciding on anything. If the xrays show nothing than no, they will probably tell you to ice than heat and keep repeating it until the uncomfortable feeling goes away. But if the xrays show concerning results they will most likely send you to a orthopedic (bone doctor). Hope this helps!

How do x rays see through things?
Xrays pass through most substinces. Various detectors can be used to detect the ammount of xrays that are sent from one side verses what is picked up on the other side. The difference can give you information about an object. Xray radiation is created when high speed electrons hit a solid object. Basically high voltage electricity (usually 40,000 - 120,00 volts) is pushed across a gap from a cathode to an anode. The Anode is usually made of tungsten or other materials that can withstand high temperatures. The anode is usually spinning so that the target is not hit in the same spot over and over again, this allows the anode to last longer. When the high voltage hits the target it releases xray radiation. Xray radiation is invisible, but it causes some elements to glow. The best used today are rare earth elements like yttrium and gadolinium. The xrays travel through the patient's body and hit a film cassette that is treated with some of these rare earth elements and it glows wherever the xrays reach it. Some of your body blocks the xrays so the screen only glows in areas that is not entirely blocked. The thicker and more dense the body part the more xrays are blocked. Bone is very dense so it blocks more xrays than most any other tissue, so bones show up as clear areas on the film. The film is placed between these screens inside the cassette safe from regular light. So that the only light that reaches this film is the light created by the glowing elements bombarded by xray radiation. The glowing of the elements bombarded by xrays causes the film to turn black and or grey depending on the amount of xrays that are blocked. Modern xray machines have cassettes that use different phosphorus materials that keep a temporary image on the cassette then the cassette is read by a machine and creates a digital image. There is no film in these type of cassettes. This is done because more and more facilities are not using film anymore. Storing xrays is cheaper and more efficient on computer hard drives as digital xrays. Because of the digital storage of xrays some xray machines do not use cassettes at all, only digital readers.
Can arm xrays show blood vessels?
Another technique is used to show blood flow,a special liquid is injected through a vein that is then xrayed at intervals to show the blood flow.I include a link .http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computed_Tomography_Angiography
