Skeletal System

No, they are not. The intercondylar fossa is found on the femur, the greater trochanter is on the femur as well, and the tibial tuberosity is located on the tibia. None of them are bone markings of the humerus.

The radial artery is located on the thumb side of the forearm. It is a major blood vessel that supplies the forearm and hand with oxygenated blood.

A human skeleton is internal and made up of bones, providing structure and support to the body. Insects have an exoskeleton, which is a hard outer shell that covers their body for support and protection. Insects molt their exoskeleton to grow, while humans do not.

No, there are not. It is true that your hands and feet together account for about half the bones in your body (unless you're a doctor, counting the number of bones is more complicated than you would think.... some bones usually fuse together as you grow, and in some people this never occurs with some of the bones for various reasons, so it's hard to be exact).

The bones of the hand and foot are different in detail, but similar in overall organization... there are about the same number of bones in your hands as in your feet (which makes sense, if you think about it).

The largest bone in your body is the Femur

Bone salts, such as calcium and phosphorus, provide hardness to bones by forming a mineralized matrix. The organic matrix, composed mainly of collagen fibers, gives bones flexibility by providing a framework for mineral deposition. Together, bone salts and the organic matrix work synergistically to make bones both strong and flexible.

Bones are living tissue, like skin or liver. There are many, many living cells within a bone that are devoted to laying down and also to removing the calcium that provides the physical support that makes bone stiff and strong. If your diet is low in calcium, your body will take calcium out of the bones to use it for essential work elsewhere. If you don't use your bones, by exercising, the cells in the bone will take calcium out of the bone in a "use it or loose it" sort of feedback loop. When bones loose calcium, they are more likely to break or compress. So, when your bones are strong it means your diet and exercise are good and your bones will be much less likely to break or hurt.

You're thinking of 'lumbar' which is the part of the back and sides between the lowest ribs and the pelvis.

Gelatin is the gummy substance made from bones. It is primarily composed of collagen extracted from animal skin and bones through a process of boiling and then cooling. Gelatin is commonly used in food production to provide texture and structure in products like gummy candies and marshmallows.

No emotion can directly cause bones to rot. However, chronic stress or anxiety can weaken the immune system and contribute to conditions like osteoporosis, which can affect bone health over time. It's important to manage stress and take care of your physical health to prevent such issues.

Rib reserve breathing is a vocal method for sustaining breath for longer periods of time. You breathe in first through the nose, filling the back ribs with air, and then through the mouth to fill your chest. You can then continue to speak/sing using the air in your chest, breathing in again when you can to replenish this, however when you need a "reserve" of air (such as during a particularly long line of dialogue that does not allow space for a breath), you have this held in your back ribs for use in these circumstances.

The most prominent bone in the posterior cervical region is the cervical vertebra C7, also known as the vertebra prominens, as it has a prominent spinous process that can be easily palpated in most individuals.

This practice is called trepanation, where a hole or opening is made in the skull to treat various ailments such as epilepsy, mental illness, or headaches. It was believed to release evil spirits or relieve pressure in the head.

No, the patella is not proximal to the ulna. The patella is the kneecap, and is on the lower extremity. The ulna is the smaller of the forearm bones. Since the structures are on different limbs, you can't use the directionals proximal and distal. However, the patella is inferior and medial to the ulna.

No, the ileum is not the hip bone. The ileum is part of the small intestine responsible for absorbing nutrients from digested food, while the hip bone is part of the pelvis and forms the socket for the thigh bone (femur) in the hip joint.

The coxal region is located in the pelvic area. Most people refer to this as the hip as well.

The fourteen bones that form the framework of the fingers on each hand are called phalanges. Each finger has three phalanges, except for the thumb which has two. The phalanges are named proximal, middle, and distal based on their position from the hand outward.

The cortical bone, located on the outer surface of bones, is responsible for providing structural support and strength. Therefore, a loss of cortical bone density will lead to the greatest loss of strength in bones.

The process is called osteogenesis, which refers to the formation of bone tissue during fetal development. This process involves the differentiation of mesenchymal cells into osteoblasts, which then lay down bone matrix to form the skeleton.

Yes, you can be sedated or given local anesthesia to help you stay still and calm during a lumbar puncture procedure. However, general anesthesia is typically not used as it is not necessary for this procedure. It is usually done with the patient awake and alert.

The bone on your back that is often referred to as "angel wings" is the scapula, also known as the shoulder blade. It is located on each side of the upper back and is involved in the movement of the shoulder joint.

The Transverse foramina and the vertebral foramen

All cervical vertebrae have 3 foramina (holes) -- 1 vertebral foramen and 2 transverse foramina. All other vertebrae have only 1 foramen, the vertebral.

Owls have 14 cervical vertebrae, the same as most other bird species.
