Skeletal System

The sternum, iliac crest, and spinous processes are preferred sites for bone marrow biopsy in adults because they provide easy access to the bone marrow without risking damage to major blood vessels or nerves. Additionally, these sites have higher concentrations of hematopoietic (blood-forming) cells, making them ideal for sampling.

The tibia is found in the lower leg, which is the region between the knee and the ankle. It is one of the two long bones in the lower leg, the other being the fibula.

The bumps at the ankle are the malleoli (singular malleolus). The medial malleolus is formed by the tibia, and the lateral malleolus by the fibula. The medial wrist bump is formed by the styloid process of the ulna, and the lateral wrist bump by the styloid process of the radius.

I think they are inner and outer ankle

The Medial malleolus if found on the Tibia and the Lateral malleolus is found on the Fibula. The ankle connect to the Medial and Lateral malleolus.

A hinge joint is not immovable. A hinge joint has one plane of motion. A good illustration of a hinge joint is the knee joint.

A thigh bone (femur) is typically stronger than a tooth. The femur is the longest and strongest bone in the human body, designed to support body weight and withstand significant forces, while teeth are not as dense and designed for chewing and crushing food.

The tissue in the center of bones that makes blood cells is called bone marrow. It is a soft, spongy tissue that produces red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets through a process called hematopoiesis.

The bones located in the middle of a human foot, or between the ankle and the toes, are called the metatarsals. The bones in the ankle are called the tarsals and the toes are called phalanges.

____

The tarsal bones have names:

talus

calcaneous

navicular

cuboid

medial, middle and lateral cuneiforms

Blood cells are formed in the bone marrow, which is located in the center of long bones such as the femur and humerus. The bone marrow contains stem cells that differentiate into various types of blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

The human body typically has 206 bones. However, the exact number can vary slightly from person to person due to individual differences such as the presence of extra bones or fused bones.

The epiphyses of long bones are covered by hyaline cartilage, also known as articular cartilage. This cartilage provides a smooth surface for articulation at the joints and helps reduce friction during movement.

The middle ear cavity contains three tiny bones called the ossicles (malleus, incus, and stapes) that transmit sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear. These bones amplify and transmit the vibrations to the cochlea, where they are converted into electrical signals that are sent to the brain for interpretation.

The femur bone is connected to the hip bone at the hip joint. It is the longest and strongest bone in the human body and plays a key role in supporting body weight and facilitating movement.

The skull is made up of 22 (21) bones, including: 8 cranial bones: 1x Ethmoid, 1x Frontal, 1x Occipital, 2x Parietal, 1x Sphenoid, 2x Temporal. 14 (13) facial bones: 2x Lacrimal, 2x Nasal, 2x Palatine, 1x Vomer, 2x Inferior Conchae, 2x Zygomatic, 1x Mandible and 2x Maxilla (some count is one bone). Many of these bones are fused together at lines called sutures.

It usually means that whatever the sign is on is fatal to your health, meaning it can harm or kill you. Way back in time, if you saw this symbol on a flag that was flying on a ship, it stood for piracy. Other periods of time suggest that this symbol stood for life in so many ways.

(the human eye does not have bones it has only a bone at the back of it and it is called orbital organ why do i say that the human eye have bones? well i cant explain that because im an 9 year old see nobody can tell if the human eye is a smooth muscle or a skelatal muscle or both well thanks for reading my answer my name is mariah jan louise dl labuguen)

That is very good answer for the nine years old child.

The human eye does not have bone in it. The eye is surrounded by bony socket from all the sides, except the front side. Multiple bones are involved in this. each eye has got six skeletal muscles around it. Inside the eye you have smooth muscles.

Ligaments hold bone to bone in a movable joint. In contrast, tendons hold muscle to bone. Ligaments are made of dense fibrous connective tissue. Ligaments also hold our bones in place and support the organs.

Human bones can vary in thickness depending on the specific bone and individual, but on average, they can range from a few millimeters to a few centimeters. For example, skull bones tend to be thicker than finger bones.

The humerus is the largest and longest bone of the upper limb. It extends from the shoulder to the elbow and plays a key role in the function of the arm.

well yes because puberty has a great many growth spurts which makes mainly your legs, arms, and spine grow but several times the rib cage grows along with the rest of the body.

It is called as collar bone or the clavicle. It is the only long bone, that is placed in horizontal position in your body.

No, the coccyx is an irregular bone. Improvement - this answer is wrong for the question. The coxa is the hip bone (composed of ilium, ischium, and pubis areas). It is considered a flat bone. The coccyx is last portion of the vertebral column composed of 4 or so vertebrae which become fused to be considered as one bone. Vertebrae are, indeed, irregular bones.

Lacunae

Nutrients in compact bone are delivered to osteocytes via tiny channels called canaliculi that connect the osteocytes to nearby blood vessels in the central Haversian canals. This interconnection allows for the exchange of nutrients and waste products, supporting the metabolic needs of the bone cells.

Bone marrow transplants can benefit individuals with certain types of cancer, such as leukemia, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma, by replacing diseased bone marrow with healthy cells. It is also used to treat other conditions, such as immune system disorders or genetic diseases like sickle cell anemia. The procedure can potentially cure these conditions or prolong the recipient's life.
