Skeletal System

We have two talus bones in our bodies. If the weight is evenly distributed throughout the body, they each take 1/2 the load, or one half the body weight when standing.

The name of the ligament is the "anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)".

---- Spongy bone is also called the cancellous bone which, as the name suggests, is very soft and it protects the bone/fatty marrow. The compact bone, on the other hand serves as a protector of everything within it.

Procallus is a structure that develops during the early stages of wound healing in plants. It is formed by undifferentiated cells that later differentiate into specific types of cells required for tissue repair and regeneration. The procallus helps to seal the wound and initiate the healing process in plants.

A knee replacement surgery is typically considered when conservative treatments (such as medication, physical therapy, and injections) have not provided relief from knee pain and limitations in daily activities caused by severe arthritis or injury. The decision to replace a knee is usually made after careful consideration of the individual's overall health, level of pain, and functional limitations.

The sequence of processes during bone elongation at the epiphyseal plate includes: proliferation of chondrocytes, hypertrophy of chondrocytes, calcification of the cartilage matrix, death of chondrocytes, invasion of blood vessels and osteogenic cells, and finally ossification of the cartilage leading to bone formation.

The os coxae, also known as the hip bone, is made up of three bones: ilium, ischium, and pubis. These bones fuse together during development to form a single bone in the adult pelvis.

John Horner discovered red blood cells in a Tyrannosaurus rex fossilized leg bone in 1993. This discovery provided evidence that some soft tissues can be preserved in fossils and opened up new possibilities for studying ancient life.

The maxilla and mandible are the facial bones that articulate with teeth. The maxilla forms the upper jaw and holds the upper teeth in place, while the mandible forms the lower jaw and supports the lower teeth.

The large foramen on the inferior aspect of the occipital bone is called the foramen magnum. It serves as a passage for the spinal cord to connect with the brainstem.

On the left side beneath your ribs are your stomach, pancreas, spleen, and part of your colon. These organs play important roles in digestion, blood filtration, and immune function. If you experience persistent pain in this area, it's important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis.

When standing normally, most of your weight is transmitted to the ground through your feet and lower limbs. The bones and joints in your legs and feet distribute the weight and provide support to maintain balance and stability. This weight distribution helps keep you upright and mobile.

Bone marrow is considered part of the cardiovascular system because it is primarily responsible for producing blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets, which are integral components of the circulatory system. These blood cells are essential for maintaining proper blood flow, delivering oxygen to tissues, and fighting infections.

The material used to connect the bony component in synarthrodial joint is interosseus

connective tissue.according to the type of connective tissue use in the union of bone to

bone

are:

Fibrous joint And Cartilaginous joint.

Paranasal sinuses serve as resonant chambers and help reduce the weight of the skull by providing air-filled cavities that decrease the overall density of the skull structure.

The thigh bone, also known as the femur, is the largest bone in the human body. It is the longest and strongest bone, extending from the hip to the knee.

Endochondral Ossification meaning "formed in cartilage.

The pelvis
Yes, the space formed by the hip bones and contain primarily the organs of the reproductive and excretory systems. This is the pelvis.
The pelvic cavity is the space formed by the hipbones.
The pelvic floor is a common term
pelvic cavity

Immature or matrix-depositing bone cells are osteoblasts. These cells are responsible for bone formation by secreting collagen and other proteins that make up the bone matrix. Osteoblasts play a crucial role in bone growth and remodeling.

Greenstick fracture is common in children because their bones have a higher collagen content and are more flexible than adults' bones. This type of fracture occurs when the bone bends and partially breaks, similar to how a green stick would break.

The adult human body has 206 bones, the baby's body has more than 300 bones.

By: Bill Yu

A normal human adult has 206 bones in their body. This number can vary slightly depending on the individual.

there are actually two bones that make up the leg below the knee. The tibula is in the front, commonly referred to as the shin, and the fibula is in the rear.

Erythrocytes are generally produced in red marrow in mammals. Yellow marrow is adipose (fat) tissue.
