Skeletal System

A bone callus is the lump of immature bone cells that surround a fracture.

The purpose of the mastoid process is to function as an attachment for particular muscles of the neck. It is situated in the posterior part of the temporal bone.

Compact bone and spongy bone both perform different functions.

Compact bone forms the outer tissue of bone. It forms the walls of the diaphysis of long bones and part of the epiphyses. It is vascularized tissue that accepts nourishment from the blood vessels.

Spongy bone is located in the spaces that fill with bone marrow (central marrow cavity) in long bones (interior of the epiphyses) and adds strength to bone with minimal weight.

The three types of tissue in bone are compact bone, spongy bone, and bone marrow. Compact bone makes up the dense outer layer of bones, spongy bone forms the inner layer, and bone marrow, found within the bone cavities, is responsible for blood cell production.

Haversian systems (osteons) are found in compact bone but not in spongy bone. These structures consist of concentric layers of bone tissue surrounding a central Haversian canal containing blood vessels and nerves.

Both genders have the same number of ribs. In mythology, there is a difference in number because they are created from men.Their ribs where taken from the ribs of men & that is why they are called women (created from man).

A tooth is attached to the bone of the jaw through the periodontal ligament. This ligament acts like a cushion, allowing the tooth to withstand the forces of biting and chewing. Additionally, the surrounding bone provides support and stability for the tooth.

The periosteum is a fibrous membrane that covers the outer surface of bones, providing protection and serving as an attachment point for tendons and ligaments. The endosteum lines the inner surface of bones and is involved in bone growth, repair, and remodeling. The medullary cavity is the innermost part of long bones where bone marrow is housed, playing a role in blood cell production and fat storage.

Technically, your knee is not comprised of just one bone. It's a joint, which allows movement. The femur and then the tibia and fibula meet under the kneecap, which is known as the patella.

There are arteries, veins and nerves that are located alongside and on top of the knee joint. If these are injured in any way, it is a surgical emergency, and could possibly lead to death. The purpose of the patella is to protect the arteries, veins and nerves, and in turn, protecting a person's life.

Determining a person's height based on the length of a femur alone is not accurate due to variations in body proportions among individuals. Femur length is just one factor in determining height, so it cannot be used as a standalone measurement to calculate a person's height.

Relaxing the joints in the pelvis during pregnancy, particularly due to the hormone relaxin, helps to prepare the body for childbirth by allowing the pelvic bones to slightly shift and expand. This increased flexibility can make it easier for the baby to pass through the birth canal during delivery. However, it can also lead to instability and potentially increased risk of certain pelvic joint issues.

As you know, osteoblasts secrete collagen and organic cmpounds upon which bone is formed. Osteoblasts are incapable of mitosis. As Osteoblasts release matrix materials around themselves, they become enveloped by the matrix and at this point differentiate into Osteocytes.

Actually there is no limit discovered so far its more like a statistic. Basically the limit on human strength is the limit of what ever force is put on it that it won't die from and the length of time that person lives. So as long as the force put on you doesn't kill you and you have enough time to heal you can in theory get infinity times stronger,lol.But because of life span I guess you'd say your life span is the limit and right now living to 100 is still now so common so I would guess for most people that makes lifting a weight over of about half a ton of so possible and by that I would be implying a Clean & Press.Which would mean that who ever lifts that could proabably a great deal more in say the Squat.But I would guess that as about the limit give a take 100 pounds. Of course as the Human life span and quality of healthy years gets longers and better the number gets bigger. also it can depend on the weight you carry around. if you had arm and leg weights on that weight 10 kg, your body would try to adapt to the new weight. so in theory if you worked your way up to 1000kg on each arm and leg, you would be strong en-ought to lift 1000kg or more and since the human body adapts to new forces that are put on it, your body could technically lift unlimited amounts of weight in the right conditions.

The largest bone in the body is the femur. It is the bone in the upper section of your leg (thigh or upper hind limb), from your hip to knee. It is classified as a long bone.

• Ilium
• Ischium
• Pubis

The hip bone, is formed by the fusion of the ilium, the ischium, and the pubis, which occurs by the end of the teenage years.

Breaking a rib can be very painful and may make it difficult to breathe or move. Treatment typically involves pain management and allowing the rib to heal on its own. In some cases, a broken rib may require medical intervention to stabilize the area and prevent complications.

There are 14 facial bones and they are: 2 x Inferior Nasal Conchae

2 x Maxillae (pl.); Maxilla (sing.)

2 x Nasal Bones

2 x Palatine Bones

No, a vertebra is not an example of a long bone. Long bones, like the femur or humerus, are typically found in the limbs and are longer than they are wide, while vertebrae are part of the spine and have a different shape and function.

The principal place is called Ear Ossicles. It contains three small bones namely Anvil,Stirrup,Stapes.These help in amplification of sound upto 22times Note from an additional source: If you're like me and you are doing a biology quiz,the answer is the middle ear.

The character "Bones" on the TV show "Bones" is Dr. Temperance Brennan and is played by actress Emily Deschanel. Dr. Brennan is a forensic anthropologist who partners with FBI agent Seeley Booth to solve crimes by examining human remains.

Children are more flexible in general because compared to developed adults they are still growing and attaining calcium as well as other vitamins that help harden bones and make them inflexible.

Synovial fluid, a lubricating substance in joints, reduces friction and helps bones slide more easily over each other. Additionally, cartilage between the bones provides a smooth surface for movement and further reduces friction. Strengthening and stretching exercises can also help improve joint mobility and reduce friction.

Ligaments are structures that connect one bone to another, providing stability and support to joints. They are tough bands of fibrous connective tissue that help limit excessive movement and prevent dislocation of bones.
