Skeletal System

The radius bone sounds like a math term because "radius" is also a term used in geometry to refer to the distance from the center of a circle to any point on its circumference.

The medial femoral condyle is a bony prominence on the inner side of the thighbone where it meets the knee. Injuries to this area, such as a fracture or osteochondral defect, can be treated through a variety of methods including rest, physical therapy, bracing, and in severe cases, surgery. Treatment will depend on the specific injury and its severity.

The facial bones that form the lateral edges of the eye sockets and the cheekbones are called zygomatic bones, also known as the cheekbones.

the bones in the fingers are called metacarpals en the smaller finger bones are called phalanges.

True. Pleurisy is inflammation of the pleura, the thin tissues that line the chest cavity and surround the lungs. This inflammation can cause pain in the thoracic cavity when the visceral and parietal pleura rub against each other during breathing.

This is known as circumduction, a type of joint movement where the distal end of a bone moves in a circular motion while the proximal end remains relatively stationary. This movement allows for a combination of flexion, extension, abduction, and adduction.

Cartilage is very important for many reasons. One reason is that it is needed between bones to create joints. Another is that in order to make bone, it first has to be cartilage, and then cells called osteoblasts build bone upon the template laid down by cartilage cells called chondocytes.

The pectoralis minor originates on the third to the fifth ribs (and elevates ribs). It depresses the scapula (and elevates ribs).

The joints between bones of the skull are immovable and called sutures.

The three pairs of coxal bones are separate at birth, but by the age of ten, they have become fused together; there is no movement between the ilium, ischium and pubis.

The sacrum, also fused, articulates with the innominates at two joints called the right and left sacroiliac joints, or SIJs. These joints have a small amount of movement.

The innominates are joined at the bottom front of the pelvis to the symphysis pubis, a piece of tough cartilage. The right and left pubic symphysis joints are also called the PSJs. There is very limited movement at these joints, though they become more flexible in women during pregnancy and childbirth.

The sacrum and coccyx (or tailbone) also have a joint, called the sacrococcygeal joint, with a small range of movement. This joint is important in the functioning of the muscles of the pelvic floor and spine.

The femur or thigh bone is the largest bone in the body, making up around a quarter of your height.

The stapes (aka stirrup) is the smallest of the three auditory ossicles of the middle ear. These "little bones" amplify and transmit sound vibrations from the tympanic membrane (eardrum) to the oval window. The stapes is in direct contact with the oval window.

The connective tissue at the ends of long bones is called the articular cartilage. This smooth, slippery tissue helps to cushion the ends of bones and reduce friction during movement.

ossification

A fracture that shatters the bone is called a comminuted fracture. A direct impact can shatter bone into several fragments or pieces. This type of fracture is likely to occur in a road traffic accident.

The bones of the lower limb from superior to inferior are the femur (thigh bone), patella (kneecap), tibia and fibula (lower leg bones), tarsal bones (ankle bones), metatarsal bones (foot bones), and phalanges (toe bones).

In the skeletal system there are:

-ligaments

-tendons

-bones

-skull

-cartilage

Btw....Go to my youtube channel...it has awesome vids....my youtube: chykulay

Thanks <3

Bones also protect internal organs, store minerals like calcium and phosphorus for metabolic processes, and produce red and white blood cells in the bone marrow.

a type of bone fracture producing many bone fragments is?

Bones are living. Think of it this way, if bones weren't "alive", they wouldn't be able to heal if broken.

They are made up of cells that heal the wound, the bone is really just a hard shell that keeps you upright and a home for all those cells.

The enlarged portion of the thoracic duct is called the cisterna chyli, which serves as a storage area for lymphatic fluid before it is returned to the bloodstream. It is located near the aorta and the diaphragm at the level of the second lumbar vertebra.

Long bones of the body, such as the femur, have an epiphyseal cartilage, a plate of cartilage that separates the epiphysis from the diaphysis as long as the bone is still growing lengthwise. An x-ray would indicate whether the epiphyseal cartilage is still present. The clinicians check if the cartilage is still there and if it is, growth is still occurring; if it is not, the bone has reached its adult length.

False. While many skeletal muscles do work in antagonistic pairs (e.g. biceps and triceps), not all skeletal muscles function this way. Some skeletal muscles work alone or in synergy with other muscles to produce movement.

Sesamoid bones are small ossified nodes embedded in the tendons to provide extra leverage and reduce pressure on the underlying tissue. Many exist around the palm at the bases of the digits; the exact number varies between different people.

Interstitial bone growth in long bones occurs in the epiphyseal plate, or growth plate, located at the ends of long bones. Here, cartilage cells (chondrocytes) proliferate, differentiate, hypertrophy, and are replaced by bone tissue, leading to longitudinal bone growth. This process is crucial for growth and development in children and adolescents.
