Skeletal System

Bones store minerals such as calcium and phosphate in the form of hydroxyapatite crystals. These minerals give bones their strength and help to maintain their structure and integrity. Proper mineral balance is essential for bone health and overall bodily functions.

Actually its still spine. The spine in anatomy is the combination of the vertebral column (the bone part) and the spinal chord (the nervous tissue part).

that may be all right and so but there is still another wscientific word for spine and and that is dorsal and lumber vertebrate

The small bones in the foot and ankle are called tarsal bones. There are seven tarsal bones: calcaneus, talus, cuboid, navicular, and the three cuneiform bones (medial, intermediate, and lateral).

No, the bones of the ribcage are not considered long bones. Long bones are typically found in the arms and legs, whereas the ribs are classified as flat bones.

The glabella belongs to the frontal bone of the skull. It is the smooth area of bone located between the eyebrows and above the nasal bridge.

The region you are referring to is called the ossification or metaphysis zone of the epiphyseal plate. In this area, new bone tissue is formed as osteoblasts replace the hyaline cartilage. This process helps in the longitudinal growth of bones during childhood and adolescence.

The first cervical vertebra is called the atlas, after the Greek mythological figure who held up the heavens. The second cervical vertebra is called the axis, as it allows the head to rotate from side to side.

A sprained ankle typically involves damage to the ligaments surrounding the ankle joint rather than a specific bone. However, in some cases, a sprained ankle can also involve a fracture in one of the ankle bones.

The rounded ends of the humerus and femur bones are called the epiphyses and help to facilitate smooth articulation and movement within joints by reducing friction. They are covered with cartilage, which helps cushion the bones and absorb shock during movement. These features contribute to the overall stability and mobility of the joints in the body.

No, bones are not magnetic. They do not contain enough iron or other magnetic materials to exhibit magnetic properties. Although bones do contain some iron, it is not in a form that would create a magnetic field.

The small focus of marrow signal alteration could indicate a localized change in the bone marrow tissue, which might be due to different factors such as inflammation, infection, trauma, or a benign lesion. Further imaging studies or clinical evaluation may be needed to determine the specific cause and potential implications.

Spurring of the superior patella refers to the presence of bony growth or osteophytes at the top part of the kneecap (patella). This can be due to conditions such as osteoarthritis and can cause pain and limited mobility in the knee joint. Treatment may involve physical therapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and in severe cases, surgery.

Both capillary waves and chop refer to small-scale waves present on the water surface. Capillary waves are waves with wavelengths less than 1.73 cm caused by surface tension, while chop refers to short, steep waves generated by wind. Both types of waves can create rough and irregular sea conditions.

In the cervical and thoracic area of your spine.

The cervical vertebrae starts right under your skull (following what's called the occipital foramen/foramen magnum). There are 7 cervical verterbrae and they end aproximatively under your neck (in the place where you feel a small circular prominence).

Right under there are the thoracic vertebrae, in the number of 12.

They end, let's say, at the upper part of your lower back.

On average it is estimated that the portion of a T-Bone steak that is bone is 15% of the total weight. Therefore, A 16 Oz T-Bone steak would have approx.

14.6 onces of meat, the remaining 2.4 onces would be bone.

A T-Bone should cost less per pound than a Strip Steak because you are paying for bone in the weight of the T-Bone.

The shape of long bones, which includes a cylindrical shaft and enlarged ends, helps distribute forces evenly along the bone's length. This design allows for better absorption and dissipation of impact or stress, making the bone less susceptible to breaking. Additionally, the bone's compact outer shell and spongy inner structure provide strength and flexibility to resist fractures.

The lateral malleolus is formed by the fibula, while the medial malleolus is formed by the tibia. These bony protrusions are located on each side of the ankle joint, providing stability and support to the joint.

The 'Ulna'. It's your 'funny bone' bone, more or less.

No, breasts do not have bones. They are primarily made up of fatty tissue, glandular tissue, and ligaments. There are no bones in the breast area.

There is a rumour going around that the bone in your buttocks is called the "bootius maximus" As a "bootius maximus" is a joke term from "booty" and maximum meaning a good looking and large female rear end, the person supplying you with the answer may have been setting you up for future embarrassment. Like using the term on WikiAnswers as the correct answer.

The muscle (not the bone) in the buttock is the gluteus maximus (or glutæus maximus) The bones of the hip are the ilium, ischium, and pubis. If you include the vestigial human "tail" you would add the coccyx comprised of three to five separate or fused vertebrae (the coccygeal vertebrae) below the sacrum.

A knee strain is an acute injury in which tendons and ligaments become stretched or torn. Most strains occur because of direct blows to theknee, extreme bending or twisting of joints, or overuse through repetitive activity. The most common symptoms include pain, swelling, loss of mobility, and a lack of strength. Depending on the severity of a knee strain, an individual may be able to ease symptoms and recover with rest and simple home remedies. A serious strain usually requires immediate medical attention, surgery, and several weeks of physical therapy.

Bone Marrow - Apex

Various - but I guess you are after the mineral portion - thus Calcium

Second Answer from an editor: Your bones are made of osteoclast which include calcium. Your teeth are made of dentin and that has calcium in it too. When you get cavities germs and bacteria can invade and erode the dentin and it is not replaceable as bones can regenerate new bone osteoclast cells. That is what causes bone fracture re-fusing. Too bad teeth cannot regenerate dentin.
