Skeletal System

The diaphragm is the natural boundary between the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities. It is a dome-shaped muscle that separates the thoracic cavity (containing the heart and lungs) from the abdominopelvic cavity (containing organs like the liver, stomach, and intestines).

The rate of resorption is higher in the mandible compared to the maxilla due to differences in bone density and function. The mandible is subjected to greater mechanical stress from chewing and biting forces, leading to increased remodeling and resorption. Additionally, the mandible has less trabecular bone compared to the maxilla, making it more susceptible to resorption.

Collagen provides structural support and strength to the skeletal system by forming the framework for bones and joints. It helps to maintain bone density and strength, as well as contribute to the elasticity and flexibility of joints, tendons, and ligaments.

No, bones do not grow to cover the ear canal. The ear canal is a passage made of cartilage and bone that leads to the eardrum, which is crucial for hearing. The size and shape of the ear canal can vary among individuals, but bones will not grow to obstruct it.

The abdominal cavity is the space within the abdomen that contains organs such as the stomach, liver, and intestines. It is separated from the thoracic cavity by the diaphragm, a dome-shaped muscle that helps with breathing by separating the chest from the abdomen.

SC on a spine label typically stands for "Special Collection," indicating that the item is part of a unique or rare collection within a library. It helps to differentiate these items from the general collection and may have special borrowing requirements or restrictions.

There are a total of 120 bones in all four limbs (30 bones in each arm and 30 bones in each leg).

Bones grow through a process called ossification, where new bone tissue is added to existing bone. Remodeling refers to the continuous process of breaking down and rebuilding bone tissue to maintain its strength and structure. This process is regulated by specialized cells called osteoclasts and osteoblasts.

Above your heart if you are laying down and above the belly botton if sitting down

Capillary action is a process powered by adhesion that causes water molecules to move upward through a narrow tube such as the stem of a plant. The adhesive force allows them to attach to the vessel walls.

Spongy bone, also known as cancellous or trabecular bone, is a type of bone tissue that has a lattice-like structure with bony bars and plates separated by irregular spaces. It is found at the ends of long bones and within flat bones, providing structural support while remaining lightweight.

Bones can become less dense due to factors like aging, hormonal changes (such as menopause), lack of physical activity, poor nutrition (especially calcium and vitamin D deficiency), and certain medical conditions and medications that impair bone health. As bone density decreases, bones can become weaker and more prone to fractures. Regular weight-bearing exercise, a balanced diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol intake can help maintain or improve bone density.

It is located in the interior of the bone. Particularly in the Proximal and Distal epiphyisis.

Wearing a corset may provide some external support for a cracked rib, but it is important to seek medical advice for proper treatment. In some cases, a corset may restrict breathing and movement, which could potentially worsen the injury. It is best to follow the guidance of a healthcare professional for the appropriate care and management of a cracked rib.

Tibial spine spiking is a radiographic finding that can be seen in knee X-rays. It refers to a bony projection located on the tibia near the knee joint. This can be a sign of injury or abnormal stress on the knee joint.

Osteoporosis is the bone disease characterized by thinning bones, leading to increased risk of fractures.

Axial Skeleton: forms the axis of the body
(Examples: skull, vertebrae, rib cage)
Appendicular Skeleton: limb bones and their girdles
(Examples: Upper limbs, clavicle, scapula; lower limbs, pelvis)

Inferior mainly, then lateral and interior to some structures.

Respiration is a process which involves taking in of oxygen through inhalation to supply to the tissues and release of carbon di oxide through exhalation from tissues to the atmosphere. During inhalation the rib cabe expands by moving out. The diaphragm moves down. These two process occur simultaneously to increase the air holding capacity of the lungs by expanding the alveolar cells of lungs.

It is not a separate joint it is your hip joint, the hip joint is a ball & socket joint!!!

Cyclobenzaprine is a muscle relaxant that can help relieve muscle spasms and tightness associated with muscle strains and injuries, including a sprained ankle. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before taking any medication to ensure it is appropriate for your specific situation and to determine the correct dosage.

Metopic, or frontal, suture - Separates the frontal bone into two halves.

Sagittal suture - Separates the two parietal bones.

Coronal suture - Separates the frontal bone from the parietal bone

Lambdoid suture - Separates the posterior edge of the of the parietal bone form the occipital bone.

Squamosal suture - Superior border of the squamous part of the temporal bone. It articulates with the greater wing of the sphenoid; superiorly, it articulates with the parietal bone and posteriorly and inferiorly it articulates with the occipital bone

The parietal bones touch all four major sutures (coronal, sagittal, squamous and lambdoid).

The inner ear is located under the hardest bone in the body, known as the petrous part of the temporal bone. It houses the cochlea for hearing and the vestibular system for balance, gravity, and motion sensing.

One possible condition could be patellofemoral pain syndrome, which is characterized by pain around the kneecap without swelling. This condition is often aggravated by activities such as climbing stairs, running, or prolonged sitting. Treatment may include physical therapy, exercises to strengthen the surrounding muscles, and addressing any biomechanical issues contributing to the pain.

The region containing the epiphyseal cartilage in a developing bone is called the metaphysis. This area is located between the epiphysis (end) and diaphysis (shaft) of a long bone and is where bone growth occurs until skeletal maturity.
