Skeletal System

Tracing down the spine the pelvis leads to the coccyx, aka the tailbone, though the femurs of your legs also extend past the bottom of your pelvis.

The pelvis itself is made of the sacrum (back) and os coxa (sides) (and some people include the coccyx.)

The human body typically has 206 bones. This number can vary slightly from person to person due to the presence of additional small bones or fusion of certain bones.

Long bones resist breaking under stress due to their cylindrical shape, which helps distribute forces evenly across the bone. Additionally, long bones are made up of hard outer compact bone that provides strength and support, while the inner spongy bone helps absorb and dissipate energy to prevent fractures. Finally, the bone is reinforced by a network of collagen fibers that add flexibility and resistance to bending or snapping.

The common name for the epiphysis is the growth plate. During a growing young adult or child, this is the location from which long bone growth occurs.

The funny bone is not actually a bone, but a nerve called the ulnar nerve that runs along the humerus bone in the elbow. When this nerve is bumped or compressed, it can cause a sensation of tingling or discomfort, often referred to as hitting your "funny bone."

A subluxated knee occurs when the kneecap partially dislocates from its normal position in the knee joint. This can cause pain, instability, and difficulty moving the knee. Treatment may include rest, physical therapy, or in severe cases, surgery.

Collagen is the fibrous protein that forms the matrix of skin, ligaments, tendons, and bones. It provides structural support and strength to these tissues.

It is called a 'Kashi string', that normally should be obtained from the Vishwanath temple in kashi in Benares in India. It is basically a thread that has been run through the mantras utterred by brahmins who worship the Kala Bhairava diety of Kashi. Kala Bhairava is a believer of morality, good values and an upholder of truth & justice, but unfortunately is of a devilish appearance. Due to this, he is known to scare evil people and evil spirits. As such, he is worshipped and the string that has been blessed in his presence is worn by millions of people to shun & keep evil spirits and voodoo away.

Yes, a broken collarbone is typically treated with a sling or brace to immobilize the arm and shoulder. In some cases, surgery may be needed to realign the bone fragments. It is rare for a cast to be used specifically for a broken collarbone as the collarbone is a mobile bone.

No, bones themselves cannot bruise as they do not have blood vessels. However, surrounding soft tissues such as muscles and ligaments can become bruised during an injury where the bone may also be affected.

diaphysis
No. The epiphysis is the growing part of a bone
The epiphysis is at the end of the bones and the diaphysis is the shaft of the long bone. The diaphysis is the answer to your question.

The ischium is the bone in the pelvis that has tuberosities that you sit on.

The frontal bones form the bony eye brow ridges.

The phalanx bone is the bone found in fingers and toes, and its length varies depending on the individual and the specific phalanx. Generally, the phalanx bones in the fingers are longer than those in the toes.

Bones are divided into two main divisions: the axial skeleton, which includes the skull, ribcage, and spine; and the appendicular skeleton, which includes the limbs, shoulder girdle, and pelvic girdle.

The pubis bone is located just below the urinary bladder.

The exterior cranial bones are the two frontal bones (fused together in adulthood to constitute the forehead), the two parietal bones (the top of the head), the two temporal bones, and the occipital bone. The internal cranial bones are the ethmoid bone and the sphenoid bone. Part of the occipital bone is also included as an internal cranial bone.

GROUP OF CELLS FORM TISSUE ..SO BONE TISSUE IS FORMED OF FIVE TYPES OF BONE CELLS. Bone tissue contains five basic types of bone cells. There are cells which are responsible for the response of the body to trauma and fracture, and those which secrete the basic chemical compound which bones are made of. There are cells mature bone cells and cells that break down the bone tissue. All bone cells have a particular function and each is needed for bones to retain their strength, develop, heal, and grow.

The diaphragm is the muscular structure that separates the thoracic cavity, which contains the heart and lungs, from the abdominopelvic cavity, which contains the digestive organs and reproductive organs. The diaphragm helps in breathing by contracting and relaxing to change the pressure within the thoracic cavity.

The shield shape composite bone with alae is known as the sphenoid bone. It is located at the base of the skull and helps form the floor of the skull, as well as part of the eye socket.

The hyoid bone, located in the neck, is the only bone in the body that does not articulate with any other bone. It has a body and two pairs of horns, or greater and lesser horns, giving it a two-headed appearance.

Yes, humans have a small triangular bone called the coccyx, commonly known as the tailbone, located at the base of the spine in the buttocks. This bone serves as an attachment site for various muscles and ligaments, providing support and stability to the pelvic region.
