Cows have a skeletal system much like people. The purpose of the skeletal system is to support the skin, muscles and organs of the cow.
Man and cow. p.s I had it as a question in a science quiz for homework.
All but the crab do.
Around 200 lbs.
Cows do not have an inside skeleton. They are supported by a network of fluid-filled bladders that provide rigidity to their legs and tail.
Sorry, but no. A cow has several parts that are not edible, including a very large skeleton.
Depends on the breed. In most cases, the average is around 215 bones.
The same just like with all animals with an internal skeleton: to provide structure and support to the body, as well as protection to the more vulnerable organs in the body.
No, Please click at the related links (Skeleton Cow - Skeleton Horse) first. As you can see the skeleton of a horse is pushed "up". The neck of a horse is build to have its head moving around, while the neck of a cow is build just 2 support. The horse also has more ribs 2 protect its body. While the cow has horns to protect itself. The horse carries more on its backlegs and the cow more on its frontlegs. You can see that by looking at the beginning of the talebone and the hips. Also the cow has a longer talebone. So the cow can move its tale better. The horse doesn't need 2 as the horse has long hairs that sweep all around him/her. The horse is build for speed to protect him/her. While the cow protects itself with a heavy armour. That's why the horse is build smaller and higher. And the cow low to the ground.
Just like in humans, the RIBS or RIB BONES protect the lungs. See the related link for the skeleton of a cow.
Cows have endoskeletons. An endoskeleton is found inside the body and is composed of mineralized tissues. Some sponges and symmetrical marine animals also have endoskeletons.
Yes. If a school of them can chew a whole cow to its skeleton in two minutes, a floating helpless tarantula won't stand a chance.
The density of cow bone will vary from cow to cow, but has been recorded in ranges from 1.24 - 1.71 g/cm^3
