Medial Collateral Ligament - Liimits sideways motion
Lateral Collateral Ligament - Also limits sideways motion
Anterior Cruciate Ligament - Limits rotation and forward motion of the tibia.
Posterior Cruciate ligament - limits the backwards motion of the knee.
Patellar Ligament - attaches the kneecap to the tibia
What attaches bones to bones and joints to bones?
Ligaments, tendons, muscles, fascia, cartilage and skin all play a part in securing bones to bones and muscles to bones. However, most bones are connected to other bones by ligaments, and muscles are connected to bones by tendons.
Ligament attaches bones to bones. Tendon attaches muscle to bones.
Why fracture in femur is dangerous?
The femoral artery runs right along the femur. A fracture in the femur might damage the artery leading to massive internal bleeding, as the femoral artery is one of the largest arteries in your body.
What would be an a homologous structure to a human arm bone?
Arm bones of all mammals .
APEX=A bird's wing bone
While most tissues have a Endo, Peri, and Epi covering. Bone simply has an endosteum and periosteum. Some older texts will refer to the periosteum as an epiosteum. The periosteum is found enveloping bones with the exception of the articulating joints. The periosteum contains a fibrous outer layer and a cellular inner layer containing progenitor cells.
Which bone would contain significant amounts of red bone marrow in an adult?
in adulthood, the red bone marrow is in the shafts of most long bones.
What bone marrow is responsible for the manufacture of red and white blood cells?
The bone marrow is responsible for the manufacture of red and white blood cells. Red bone marrow is primarily involved in the production of red blood cells, platelets, and some types of white blood cells. White bone marrow plays a role in producing additional white blood cells as needed.
Is human skull is supported by neck?
Yes, the human skull is supported by the neck which consists of cervical vertebrae. This structure allows for the mobility and movement of the head.
What type bones does rib have?
Ribs are called 'flat bones'. As opposed to long, short, and irregular bones, the function of flat bones is to have broad surfaces for protection of organs and attachment of muscles.
Ribs themselves are divided into three categories:
True ribs are the first 7 pairs, connected to the spine. In the front, true ribs connect to the breastbone or sternum by means of coastal cartilage.
The next 3 pairs are false ribs. They are shorter than true ribs and connected to the spine. In the front, false ribs are connected to the lowest true rib.
The last 2 pairs are floating ribs. They are the smallest kind of rib. They are attached to the spine. In the front, floating ribs are not connected to anything.
What are the reasons why humans need a bony skeleton?
The skeletal system has many important functions, including: 1. Providing a sturdy attachment site for your muscles, so that your body can move, and so that the body does not exist in a "gelatinous" state. 2. The skeletal system can be divided into two "parts"; the Axial skeleton and the Appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton basicallly consists of the bones of your skull and trunk (spine, ribs,). The appendicular skeleton is made up of the bones of your arms and legs. The axial skeleton gives your body it's posture, so that it doesn't fall over. It also protects vital organs- the ribs enclose/protect the lungs, and the sterum covers/protects the heart. The liver is also partially protected by your ribs. The bones of your skull protect your brain, etc. The bones of the appendicular skeleton (working w/our muscles) allow us to walk, stand, grasp,and move objects. 3. Many bones store important minerals like calcium and phosphorus, etc. 4. Some bones produce and store bone marrow (red and yellow bone marrow). Red bone marrow produces blood cells.
Unless you have a giant needle and you actually convince somebody to let you eat their marrow then yes. oh and scientifically yes you can eat it ,everything that you eat, the digestive system absorbs all of the nutrients and adds it to your bones and other parts and fluids of your body so its good for you
No, bones do not bleed. Bones are made up of living cells and tissues, but they do not have blood vessels running through them. However, surrounding tissues and muscles can bleed when a bone is fractured or injured.
How is thoracic cavity separated from abdominal cavity?
The insuflation, deflation of the lungs produces great variations of pressure in the torax. If those variations were produced in a cavity including abdominal organs, some processes wouldn't take place (or could at least be not functional)
When we drink hot beverage, we have a burning sensation, so the hot beverage actually expands the air in the lungs, causing the lungs to bloat a little( actually unnoticeable) so this heat in our lungs touches the ribs causing the burning sensation. it is the left rib because oxygen that we take in enters the left lung so left lung expands and so on...
What part of three bones moves when vibrates as it struck?
The middle bone, the incus, moves when vibrations are received and transmitted in the middle ear. It transfers the vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear, where they are converted into electrical signals that the brain can interpret as sound.
Yes, bones can become inflamed in a condition called osteomyelitis, which is usually caused by an infection. Inflammation of the bone can lead to pain, swelling, and redness in the affected area. Treatment typically involves antibiotics to clear the infection and may require surgery in some cases.
Is porcelain contains bone ash?
Yeah... All porcelain contain some bone ash but content may vary depending upon if it is soft or hard or china type,
Mostly in Bone china has the highest content
Can gallbladder problems cause pain under the left ribs?
Gallbladder problems typically manifest as pain in the upper right side of the abdomen, as the gallbladder is located under the liver on the right side. Pain under the left ribs is less likely to be caused by gallbladder issues and may be attributed to other conditions such as gastritis, pancreatitis, or muscle strain. Consulting a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation is recommended to determine the root cause of the pain.
How many bones an adult skeletal system has?
An adult skeleton has 206 bones, which provide structure, support, and protection for the body. These bones range in size and shape, forming a complex framework that allows for movement and helps support other bodily systems.
The femur bone has trochanters. The greater trochanter is located at the top of the femur where the hip muscles attach, and the lesser trochanter is located on the inner side of the femur where the thigh muscles attach.
What muscle spans from the coastal cartialges and xiphoid process to the pubic bones?
The rectus abdominis muscle spans from the coastal cartilages and xiphoid process to the pubic bones. This muscle is important for maintaining posture, supporting the abdominal organs, and flexing the spine.
What joint allows you to move your arm in a circle?
A ball and socket joint allows the arms to move in a circular motion. A ball and socket joint is also called an spheroidal joint.
Bone tissues have the ability to regenerate and repair themselves, a process known as bone remodeling. This process occurs throughout a person's life, with old bone being replaced by new bone tissue. However, the extent of regeneration can be influenced by factors such as age, nutrition, and underlying medical conditions.
What is an incision of a bone called?
Osteotomy
Oste/o means bone with combining vowel
-tomy is a suffix for "incision" or "to cut into"
What is the rounded end of the bone called?
Epiphyses is the word used for the distal and proximal ends of long bones. The epiphysis contains red bone marrow.
