Skeletal System

The medical name for abnormal loss of bone tissue is osteoporosis. It is a condition characterized by weakening of the bones, making them more prone to fractures.

The human skeletal system typically has 206 bones. This includes bones of the skull, spine, ribs, arms, hands, legs, and feet. However, the actual number can vary slightly due to differences in bone structure among individuals.

Yes, the clavicle, or collarbone, is medial to the humerus, or upper arm bone.

The clavicle is medial to the humerus. The clavicle, or collarbone, is located closer to the midline of the body than the upper body of the arm is.

It really depends on the pain and where about it is. If you have not injured your ribs you could look up costochondritis which I think is in the centre of the chest and can be very severe but can take a while to diagnose. I only know the answer to this as I have had shingles recently and was looking up rib pain. I was in agony when I moved or even breathed with my ribs. It was on one side and I felt fluey but had a small rash. It turned out it was shingles. If it hurts when you breath you should apparently get checked out cause it can (occasionally but probably not) be a blood clot in the lungs . Pleurisy is a severe pain also when you breath. You should really get checked out by a GP just in case.

The axial skeleton is made up of the skull/cranium, jaw (mandible), sternum, ribs, vertebrae (including sacrum and coccyx). The appendicular skeleton is made of the scapula, humerus, ulna, radius, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges (also known as finger bones), ilium, ischium, pubis, femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, and some more phalanges (also known as toe bones).

Clotaldo protects Rosaura because he recognizes her as a noble lady in distress and feels a sense of duty to help her. He also sees her as a person who is seeking justice and truth, and he believes it is his responsibility to support her and ensure her safety. Additionally, Clotaldo's own morals and principles compel him to defend Rosaura against any harm or injustice.

Fibula or Calf bone is a bone placed on the lateral side of the tibia,with which it is connected above and below.It is the smaller of the two bones,and, proportion to its length,the most slender of all the long bones.Its upper extremity is small,placed toward the backbone of the head of the tibia,below the level of the knee-joint and excluded from the formation of the joint.

In the human body there are 206 bones in the body. 198 bones will works in our body. There 8 bones in our skull does not work in our body

Flat bones have broad surfaces for protection of organs and attachment of muscles (ex. ribs, cranial bones, bones of shoulder girdle).
Long bones are longer than they are wide and work as levers. The bones of the upper and lower extremities (ex. humerus, tibia, femur, ulna, metacarpals, etc.) are of this type


At birth, all bone marrow is red. But in an adult, most red blood cells are produced in the flat bones, which still have red marrow. The long bones gradually fill with yellow marrow.

A box is considered a hollow solid because it has solid walls enclosing an empty space inside. It is not a shell, which would imply a thin structure enclosing a space, nor a skeleton, which would typically refer to a supporting framework.

Once the last bone (the stapes) vibrates, it hammers up and down at a space called the oval window in the cochlea of the inner ear. The cochlea is filled with a fluid, and the vibrations of the stapes send pressure waves through the fluid. There is a membrane in the cochlea that is bent back and forth in different places based on the intensity of the sound, and the bending of the membrane causes small hair-like stereocillia to bend and send an electrical impulse to the brain to be interpreted as sound.

The skull is composed of the cranium and the facial bones. They are like all the other bones of the body, except they do not produce blood cells, like long bones and short bones.The cranial bones are flat bones such as the frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital bones. The facial bones are considered irregular-shaped bones and consist of; sphenoidal, lacrimal, and a few others.

No, bone marrow is a vital component of the immune system and plays a key role in the production of blood cells. It does not make you sick; rather, it helps to protect and maintain your body's overall health.

Yes. The recent dives on the wreck have led to the release of photos from the earlier dive showing remains.

No.

The cervical spine is in the neck and is above the lumbar spine, which is in the low back. Because we reference things from anatomical position, which is standing upright, and because the term "inferior" is used to denote things that are below, that statement would be incorrect. Therefore, we could correctly say the cervical spine is superior, or rostral, to the lumbar spine. We could also say that the lumbar spine is inferior, or caudal, to the cervical spine.

It is called an articulation, or joint.

The lesser trochanter is on the proximal medial portion of the femur. The femur is the scientific name for the thigh bone.

No, the tibia is the larger of the two bones in the lower leg, commonly referred to as the shinbone. The medial bulge at the ankle is known as the medial malleolus, which is a bony projection at the inner side of the ankle.

Irregular bones found in the spine include the vertebrae. These bones provide support and protection to the spinal cord. The irregular shape of vertebrae allows for movement while maintaining stability in the spine.

Yes, it is possible to break a bone in the palm of your hand, such as the metacarpal bones or the bones in the wrist. These injuries can occur from falls, direct trauma, or excessive force placed on the hand. Treatment typically involves immobilization and possibly surgery, depending on the severity of the break.

Yes, the same skull bones are present in both adult and infant skulls. However, the bones in an infant's skull are not fused together like in an adult skull, allowing for flexibility during childbirth and rapid brain growth in early development.

Yes, all compact bones contain both spongy and compact bone tissue. The outer layer of compact bone provides strength and protection, while the inner spongy bone contains bone marrow and provides flexibility.

I don't have any confirmed figures to back this up but I would have to guess it would be the Stapes (aka the stirrup bone) which is the smallest human bone at around 1/4 inch across and sits approximately 1/2 inch behind the eardrum in the middle ear. It is located in a 'pocket' of the skull bone which would offer a lot of protection, plus it is approximately 2 1/2 inches inside the skull so again well protected from possible injury.

A synostosis is a joint in which two bones have fused together, typically due to abnormal ossification. Examples include cranial sutures after puberty or fusion of the distal tibia and fibula in adults.
