What is an axial bone?
backbone and skull. the bones that make up the vertebral column and skull. The skeleton is divided into two portions: Axial and Appendicular. Appendicular is all the bones from the humerus of the arm to the distal-most digits of the fingers and from the femur to the tips of your toes. Axial is everything else. Cranium Vertebra
What bones are a part of the appendicular skeleton?
the appendicular skeleton consists of 126 bones in the body. the most recognized being the arms and legs; ulna, radius, humerus, carcels, metecarcels, phalanges, shoulder gurdal, plevic gurdal, femur, tidia, fibia, tarcels, metetarcels, these are just a few that make the 126 appendicular bones in the body
Is your gluteus maximus part of the appendicular region?
For the most part yes. The only part of the axial skeleton it is in contact with is the sacrum and coccyx. But is it also attached to the iliac crest which is appendicular and its main action is extension and lateral rotation of the thigh.
How many bones are there in axial skeletal system?
The axial skeleton comprises the arms and the legs. Most of the bones in the human body are located in these regions. Arms: clavicle, scapula, humerus, ulna, radius, carpals (scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, hamate, capitate, trapezoid, and trapezium), 5 metacarpals, and 15 phalanges. Legs: OS coxa, femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsals (talus, calcaneus, 3 cuniforms, navicular, and cuboid), 5 metatarsals, and 15 phalanges.
Which type of joint is the most typical of the joints of the appendicular skeleton?
synovial joints.

Four categories of bones do MOST of the bones of the appendicular skeleton fit into?
long bones
Most bones develop from?
Most bones in the appendicular skeleton develop from cartilage in a process known as endochondral ossification.

Bones involved in Long Jump?
Bones of the whole body especially appendicular skeleton are involved in Long jump. Bones of the foot, ankle, tibia, fibula, femur, hip bone, and spine are the bones most commonly involved.
Are condyles only found int the axial skeleton?
Condyle is a rounded prominence at the end of a bone, most often used for articulation with another bone. Condyles can be found in numorous places in the body example: Knuckles TMJ ( Temporomandibular Joint/ aka Jaw) Vertebral Column In short, they can be found in both the axial and appendicular skeleton.

Does the heart work with the skeletal system?
The skeletal system helps protect your heart from severe injures, its "shelters" your heart. Lets say you fall, your axial system will break the fall, without it you would be dead by now. There are 2 types of skeletal systems, the axial, and the appendicular. You can live without the appendicular, but it supports your body, the axial is the most important bones such as: the cranium (skull), your spinal cord, and your ribs. You ABSOLUTELY CANNOT live without the axial system.
Which type of joint is the most typical of the joints of the appendicular skeleton?
synovial joints.
How many bones make up the skeleten?
There are 206 bones in the human skeleton. There are 80 bones in the axial skeleton, which is mainly comprised of the vertebral column (the spine), the skull, and the rib cage. There are 126 bones in the appendicular skeleton, which includes all movable limbs and supporting structures (girdles). These 206 bones are classified into 5 types: 1. Long bones- found in the arms and legs. Ex. the femur 2. Short bones- most common in wrists, such as the carpal bone, and ankles 3. Flat bones- flat, thin, and often protect vital organs Ex. parietal bone 4. Irregular bones- odd looking bones Ex. sphenoid bone 5. Sesamoid bones- unusual bones that are small, flat and wrapped within tendons that move over bony surfaces Ex. the patella
What does the axial skeleton contain?
The axial skeleton, making up 80 of your 206 bones, encompasses all your upper body bones. It itself is subdivided into three groups: the skull, the vertebral-sound column, and the bony thorax-sound. It's main purposes are to protect your vital organs, such as the brain, heart, and lungs, and to provide an efficient structure to preform a variety of work.
