What are the bones in your back bone called?
What is often called the spine refers to a group of bone known as the vertebral column. This column is composed of vertebrae, the sacrum, and the coccyx.
2nd Answer:
The spine is more specifically composed of the neck bones, or "C" vertebrae, so-called because their true names are "Cervical". There are 5 of these, the top two being also called the Atlas and the Axis.
Next, named after the thorax of the body are the thoracic, or "T" vertebrae. There are 12 of these, T-1 through T-12.
The small of the back, or Lumbar area, is composed of 5 "L", or Lumbar bones.
The two spinal section between the 2 rear bones of the hips is actually part of the spine: The Sacrum. There are usually 5 "S" or Sacral vertebrae, and they are usually all fused together in adulthood. They sit like a wedge between the hipbones.
And at the very bottom are the 3 or 4 bones of the coccyx, or "Tailbone". These coccygial bones are also fused together by adulthood.
What are the smallest and largest bones in an elephants body?
The smallest bone in an elephant's body is the stapes bone in the ear, responsible for transmitting sound vibrations. The largest bone in an elephant's body is the femur, which is found in the hind leg and supports the elephant's weight.
What two bones make up the leg?
The leg is made up of the tibia and the fibula. The tibia is the larger of the two bones and is commonly known as the shinbone, while the fibula is located next to the tibia on the outer side of the leg.
The patella, also known as the kneecap, plays a crucial role in knee joint stability and movement. It helps to protect the knee joint and improve the leverage of the quadriceps muscles during activities like walking and running. Without the patella, the knee joint would experience decreased stability and diminished function.
Is strongest bone of muman body is abdormal?
No, the strongest bone in the human body is the femur, which is the thigh bone. The abnormal spelling in the question is likely a typo.
Occipital sphenoid frontal temporal and ethmoid are bones of the?
These are bones of the skull, specifically in the region of the cranium. The occipital bone forms the back of the skull, the sphenoid bone is located at the base of the skull, the frontal bone forms the forehead, the temporal bone is located on the sides of the skull, and the ethmoid bone is located between the eyes.
Is the tempral bone a flat bone?
Yes, the TEMPORAL bone is a flat bone; along with the occipital, parietal, frontal, and lacrimal bone.
Where in the human skeleton are the long bones found?
The short bones are compact bones, spongy bones, femur bones and finally spinal cord.
Thanks... hope you find this useful! :)
correct answer: the backbone(vertebral column)is not the longest bone in the body.The backbone is actually 33 small bones joined.They protect the spinal cord.The longest bone in the skeleton is found in the thigh and the smallest is found in the ear.
Which bones articulates with the ulna?
At the distal end: the carpels in the hand at the head of the ulna and the radius at the ulna notch of radius. At the proximal end: the trochlea of the humerus at the trochlear notch and coronoid process of the ulna and the head of the radius at the radial notch of the ulna.
There are how many phalanges of the pollex?
The pollex is the thumb and it has only 2 phalanges, the distal and the proximal. all of the other fingers have a distal, middle and proximal.
How does bones works with other systems to keep the body healthy?
First off, bones play an important role in assisting in movement. Bones are attached to various muscles in the body, so when muscles contract, they move the bones, which helps to assist the body's muscular system. However, one of the main helping components of bones is the production of various blood cells, which helps systems such as the circulatory system and lymphatic system. By producing red blood cells with bone marrow located in various forms of bones, your body can maintain homeostasis(normalcy in the body, or internal balance) and stay alive with the constant production of such cells and even platelets. Bone marrow also produces white blood cells which are vital to preventing infection in the body (lymphatic system). So all in all, bones work together with the muscular system, circulatory system, and the lymphatic system.
Is the temporal bone a flat bone?
No, the temporal bone is not a flat bone. It is a irregular bone located on the side of the skull and it plays a crucial role in protecting the brain and supporting various structures in the head.
How is thearm held clear of the widest dimension of the thoracic cage?
The clavicle serves as anterior brace, or strut, to hold the arm away from the top of the thorax (Marieb & Mitchell, 2008).
By abduction via the ball and socket diarthrosis articulation of the glenohumeral (shoulder) joint of the scapula and humerus (Martini & Nath, 2009).

The skeletal system is the body system that provides structure and support to the body. It is made up of bones, cartilage, and ligaments that work together to protect organs, produce blood cells, and allow for movement. The skeletal system also plays a role in storing minerals such as calcium.
What are the functions of executive support system?
Executive Support System (ESS) is software for businesses. The functions include turning the company's data into summarized reports from various departments. The executives of the company can quickly look over up-to-date data regarding billing, staffing, cost analysis, and more.
Why do bones fuse in joints damaged by rheumatoid arthritis?
As the cartilage between the joints is eliminated the bones begin to touch and wear directly into each other, the body will attempt to repair worn bone by growing more bone onto the bone on either side of the joint, this leads to the joint becoming more and more difficult to move as a lip of bone forms around the areas of friction. the result is that in time the joint gets so painful that it stops being moved leading to muscular atrophy which leads to it not being able to be moved. in the mean time the areas where bone is being replaces are in direct contact and start to join together as if it was one bone being rebuilt.
The largest and strongest bone of the face is the maxilla?
The smallest facial bones are known as lacrimal bones.
The vomer forms part of the nasal septum?
That's correct. The vomer is a thin, flat bone that forms the lower and posterior part of the nasal septum, helping to separate the left and right nasal cavities in the skull.
The lumbar section of a typical human spine contains how many vertebrae?
The lumbar section of a typical human spine contains five vertebrae, known as L1 to L5.
Only movable bone of the skull?
The mandible, also known as the jawbone, is the only movable bone of the skull. It is attached to the skull by the temporomandibular joint, allowing it to move up and down for functions such as chewing and speaking.
The image of the star will be 67.5 cm from the mirror because focal length is the raidus of curvature multiplied by 2 or (2)(C). So, therefore, 150 / 2 will give the focal length which would also be the answer.
What bone provides support for the body?
The spine, specifically the vertebral column, provides support for the body. It is made up of individual bones called vertebrae that stack on top of each other to form a flexible yet strong structure that helps maintain posture and protect the spinal cord.
Most likely, the "bump" is a hematoma. The soft tissue was damaged, and the blood vessels in the area form a mesh to contain, protect, and heal the damage (if you need detailed info, let me know.) It is most likely just your body doing it's job. If you have pain with resistance or counter pressure to a normal function of that part of your arm - extreme pain - then see a doctor. Also check for peripheral blood flow or capillary refill. Pinch your fingernail; it should turn back to pink within a count of two or three (in seconds).
Use R.I.C.E:
Rest
Ice (ten minutes on, ten off - use a sock between the skin and ice if you're uncomfortable:)
Compression (wrap it with an ace wrap - a sock works too...over the ice)
Elevation
Hope you feel better!
