Skeletal System

There is no organ that shares it protection between the skull and ribcage. The skull protects the brain mainly and hte ribcage protects the heart and lungs.

Contracture is defined as the shortening of the connective tissue. The common opinion of surgeons is that flexion contracture is due to tightening of the posterior capsule combined with the tightening of biceps femoris and collateral ligaments.

In Nepal there are about

18 clans.

The Sherpa people originally came from eastern Tibet, but migrated to Nepal within the last 500 years. Most live in the eastern part of the country, with the oldest Sherpa village being Pangboche. The vast majority (over 90%) of Sherpas are Buddhists, although they also incorporate animist and shamanistic practices.

Sherpas are traditionally farmers and traders, raising yaks and growing and trading barley, buckwheat, potatoes, wheat and animal products

No.

When you are born, you have 300 bones. But as you grow, some of these bones fuse together, leaving you with 206 bones.

The stage of bone fusion helps coroners and archaeologists determine the age of skeletons.

Connective tissue proper fluid intercellular material and fibroblasts which secretes elastic and collagen fibers, as main cell type. Connective tissue is loosely packed cells, lots of intercellular material, and vascular.

The arch of the human foot is made up of 26 bones, including the tarsal, metatarsal, and phalanges bones. These bones work together to provide support, flexibility, and help absorb shock while walking or running.

The outer layer of the bone marrow is called the periosteum, which is a dense fibrous membrane that covers the surface of bones.

Femur in upper leg then fibula and tibia in lower leg

A small bony density adjacent to the medial aspect of the distal fibula epiphysis could be consistent with an accessory ossicle like the os subfibulare. This accessory bone is usually benign and incidental but can sometimes be associated with ankle pain or instability if it causes impingement on nearby structures. Further evaluation and clinical correlation may be needed to determine the significance of this finding.

If you break your rib cage, the ribs themselves, surrounding muscles, and possibly internal organs such as the lungs or blood vessels can be injured. Rib fractures can cause pain, difficulty breathing, and potential complications like pneumothorax or hemothorax. It is important to seek medical attention for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Bone marrow consists of a jelly-like tissue that is found inside bones. It does not have any nerve endings, so it does not have any sensation or feeling when touched or manipulated.

The focal increased tracer uptake in multiple bones suggests the possibility of metastatic bone disease, where cancer cells have spread to the bones from a primary tumor. Further evaluation and imaging studies are needed to determine the primary source of the cancer. Treatment would involve addressing the primary tumor, as well as managing the metastatic bone disease.

The medical term for the area just above the pubic bone is suprapubic.
Suprapubic

The cervical vertebrae, located in the neck region of the spine, control movements and sensations in the arms and hands. The nerves that branch out from these vertebrae supply the muscles and skin of the upper limbs, allowing for coordination and dexterity in activities involving the arms and hands.

No, the hip bone itself is not considered a pressure point in traditional Chinese medicine or other healing practices. Pressure points are specific areas on the body where pressure can be applied for therapeutic or pain-relief purposes. The hip bone is a large pelvic structure that provides support for the body and protects internal organs.

The floating bone at the knee joint is called the patella, also commonly known as the kneecap. Its function is to protect the knee joint and provide leverage for the thigh muscles during movement.

In adults, the ends of bones are covered by a type of connective tissue called articular cartilage. This cartilage provides a smooth surface that helps with joint movement and cushioning between bones.

The bone that attaches to the eardrum is called the malleus, also known as the hammer bone. It is one of the three tiny bones in the middle ear that help transmit sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear.

Chickens and humans have similar bones, such as a skull, backbone, ribs, and limbs. However, chickens also have additional bones such as a wishbone (furcula) and a keel bone to support their wings and flight muscles.

About 3 weeks ago, my right side collarbone started to bother me. Today, standing sideways to the light with a hand mirror, I found that my right side round clavicle bone near the throat is more than twice the size of the one on the left. The soreness throughout the collarbone remains the same as when it started but is not severe enough to take a pain pill. I haven't been to a dr. yet as I only discovered the larger round bone today.

Mammals are warm-blooded, have fur, feed their young milk, and usually give birth to live young. Reptiles are cold-blooded, have scales, usually lay eggs, and generally do not feed their young.

The bone marrow is responsible for producing red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. If the bone marrow is destroyed by radiation, these cells would not be able to be reproduced, leading to a compromised immune system, anemia, and difficulty in blood clotting.

b. Ulna; the ulna is a bone found in the forearm, not in the leg.

The bone under the tongue is called the hyoid bone. It is a U-shaped bone located in the neck that does not directly connect to any other bones. The hyoid bone plays a role in supporting the tongue and helping with swallowing and speech.

The organ you are referring to is the spleen. It is located on the left side of the abdomen, behind the stomach and below the diaphragm. The spleen plays a role in filtering and storing blood, as well as helping the immune system by producing white blood cells.
