Skeletal System

Yes, fibrocartilage can be found at the connection of the ribs and sternum. This type of cartilage provides strength and support in this area due to its high collagen content and ability to withstand pressure and tension.

The process is called a knee jerk reflex. It is a simple reflex that occurs when the patellar tendon is tapped, resulting in the lower leg kicking forward involuntarily.

A combination of bones and cartilage form the skeletal system in the body, providing support, structure, and protection for internal organs. Bones are hard and rigid, while cartilage is smooth and flexible, helping joints move smoothly and acting as a cushion between bones.

The ulnar groove also known as the ulnar sulcus is a slight depression found at the inferior, posterior, medial side of the humerus bone. The ulnar nerve runs downwards in the ulnar groove to go to the ulna.

The bone found in the lower leg is called the fibula. It is one of the two bones in the lower leg, along with the tibia. The fibula is smaller and thinner than the tibia and mainly assists with providing stability and support to the lower leg.

Osteomalacia is a disease characterized by softening of the bones due to a lack of vitamin D, calcium, or phosphorus in the diet or issues with their absorption. This can lead to bone pain, fractures, and deformities. Treatment often involves vitamin D and mineral supplementation.

No, the diaphragm lies superior to the organs in the thoracic cavity. It is a dome-shaped muscle that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity and plays a key role in the process of respiration.

The large soft spot at the junction of the parietal bones and the frontal bone in the infant cranium is called the anterior fontanelle. It allows for the growth and expansion of the skull during infancy.

Muscle spasms on the left side below the rib cage could be caused by muscle strain, dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, or underlying medical conditions such as costochondritis or intercostal muscle strain. It is best to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

Nonspecific diffusely heterogeneous bone marrow appearance refers to abnormal imaging findings on a bone marrow MRI or CT scan where the marrow shows a mottled or uneven appearance without a specific underlying cause. This can be seen in various conditions such as infection, inflammation, or infiltrative diseases affecting the bone marrow. Further evaluation may be necessary to determine the underlying cause.

Cartilage is a tough, flexible connective tissue that is softer than bone. It provides structure and support to various parts of the body, such as the joints, ears, and nose. Cartilage also helps cushion and protect bones from rubbing against each other.

There are two bones in your arm, but if it's the longer one in your forearm then it's called the ulna.

Yes. The skull sits on the top vertebra of your spine, called the atlas. If there is a strong enough trauma to the head, the skull can be moved off, or dislocated, from the atlas. Unfortunately, with enough force this causes fatal damage to the spinal cord/brain. But if there is a smaller dislocation, it can be survived.

The hyoid bone in your neck is usually broken if a person is strangled.

A "head". For example, the head of the humerus or head of the femur.

The judge has a passive role in the adversary system and an active one in the inquisitorial. The counsel has an active role in the adversary and a passive role in the inquisitorial. In adversary, the burden of proof rests on the accuser whereas in the inquisitorial the burden of proof rests on noone. Adversary systems can have juries.

The hardness of bone is primarily due to the presence of mineral salts like calcium phosphate, which form a mineralized matrix that gives bones their strength and rigidity. These mineral salts contribute to bone density and help in resisting fractures and maintaining skeletal structure. Other components like collagen fibers also play a role in providing flexibility and tensile strength to bones.

There is no inherent physical difference between a Hindu and a Muslim skeleton. Both belong to the same human species and have the same skeletal structure. Religious beliefs do not affect the physical characteristics of a person's skeleton.

The small bone at the front of the knee (the knee cap) is called the patella.

The appendicular skeleton includes the bones of the upper and lower limbs, including the arms, hands, shoulders, pelvis, legs, and feet. It also includes the girdles that attach the limbs to the axial skeleton, such as the pectoral girdle (shoulder) and pelvic girdle (hip).

The spine is composed of 33 movable segments called vertebrae. These vertebrae are divided into five regions: cervical (7 vertebrae), thoracic (12 vertebrae), lumbar (5 vertebrae), sacrum (5 fused vertebrae), and coccyx (4 fused vertebrae).

The occipital bone surrounds the structure known as the foramen magnum, which is a large opening at the base of the skull through which the spinal cord passes.

Head: bony expansion carried on a narrow neck
Condyle: rounded articular projection
Ramus: armlike bar of bone

An orthopedic doctor/surgeon deals with bones, ligaments, tendons, etc.
