Skeletal System

The parathyroid hormone stimulates the absorption of calcium from the bone.

A callus forms as a fracture heals. This is a thickened area of skin that helps protect the healing bone. Crepitus refers to a crackling or popping sound or sensation that may be present when the fractured bone moves.

no but they dissolve because of the element carbon

Yes, actually they can.

Remember that the bone is a living tissue in and of itself. Without a sufficient blood supply, the part of bone devoid of blood will eventually collapse in on itself and in extreme cases deteriorate the joint.

There are many speculations as to what causes this disease known as Osteonecrosis, while on the other hand there have been cases where no cause could be identified.

So unless you're a magical wizard named Harry Potter, you cannot simply down a bottle of Skele-Gro (who would want to), and expect a new bone to grow overnight.

Yes, bones are connected at joints by fibrous tissue or cartilage, allowing movement and providing structural support to the body. Joints are crucial for mobility and flexibility in the skeletal system.

Human bones grow through a process called ossification, where new bone tissue is constantly being added to the existing bone structure. Hormones like growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor 1, and sex hormones play key roles in regulating bone growth. Additionally, nutrition, physical activity, and genetics also influence bone growth.

Tracheal cartilage rings provide support and prevent collapse of the trachea during respiration. They are C-shaped structures made of hyaline cartilage that keep the trachea open to maintain a patent airway for the passage of air in and out of the lungs.

As people age, their bones naturally become weaker and more prone to conditions like osteoporosis. This can lead to decreased bone density and increased susceptibility to fractures, causing aching and discomfort. Additionally, the cartilage that cushions joints wears down over time, leading to conditions like arthritis which can also cause pain in the joints and bones.

Worms, jellyfish, and sea anemones are examples of organisms with a hydrostatic skeleton and a soft body wall. These organisms rely on fluid-filled cavities within their bodies to provide structural support and movement.

I can't display images. However, the scaphoid bone is a boat-shaped bone located on the thumb side of the wrist. It is commonly injured in falls, leading to pain and tenderness in the wrist. X-rays are typically used to diagnose scaphoid fractures.

The advantages of Spongy bones is it's lighter than compact bone yet still strong and they follow the lines of stress which helps with support.

1) It is lighter so the body can move with less weight to worry about.

2) It is less brittle. So the bone won't break as fast. Similar to a wooden home in an earthquake proned city versus a concrete building.

No, the radius is a long bone. It is one of the two bones in the forearm, between the elbow and the wrist. Short bones are typically found in the wrists and ankles.

The type of bone that contains air spaces is called spongy or cancellous bone. This type of bone is less dense than compact bone and is characterized by a mesh-like structure that provides support while making bones lighter. Spongy bone is primarily found at the ends of long bones and in the interior of flat bones.

The periosteum is a strong fibrous membrane that covers the long bone except at joint surfaces. It plays a crucial role in bone formation, repair, and nourishment.

the "thigh" bone is the femur and the "bone of the arm" is the humorus. these bones are very similar to each other. they both have head of the humorus and head of the femur.

The spinal processes of the upper thoracic vertebrae are the origin of the rhomboid muscles, specifically the rhomboid major and rhomboid minor. These muscles play a role in scapular retraction and provide stability to the shoulder blade region.

The skull and crossbones symbol has been associated with danger and death for centuries. It was commonly used on pirate flags to symbolize harm to enemies. Over time, this association led to the symbol being widely recognized as a warning for poison due to its connection with danger and toxicity.

I can't remeber what the name is,but I know it works great. It's not the joint I may say I am awesome at science.I have a wonderful life.I really enjoy my life. I always get beat though.I am crying right now.I hurt inside more than any one it's sad.A good girl like me goes to waste.I suffer changes, too.A man that now lives with me hurts me.He raped me when I was 5.I told my mom she didn,t believe me.

The squamous and the parietal parts of the temporal bone contribute to the cranial vault or calvaria. The squamous part forms part of the lateral walls, while the parietal part forms part of the top of the skull.

The largest bone in the body is called the Femur. It is located inside of your thigh area. I have seen both a human femur, and a cow femur. The human femur is no doubt large, but the cow femur was almost intimidatingly huge.

The hyoid bone is made up of one bone in a human. It is a horseshoe-shaped bone located in the neck, providing support for the tongue and serving as an attachment point for various muscles involved in swallowing and speech.

Bone loss is greatest during the postmenopausal phase of life, particularly in women. This is due to hormonal changes that occur during menopause, leading to a rapid decline in bone density. Regular weight-bearing exercise and adequate calcium and vitamin D intake can help reduce the risk of osteoporosis during this phase.

1. Support: Provides structural support for the body and helps maintain posture.
2. Protection: Protects internal organs such as the brain, heart, and lungs.
3. Movement: Allows for movement by providing attachment points for muscles.
4. Mineral storage: Stores minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, essential for various bodily functions.
5. Blood cell production: Produces red and white blood cells in the bone marrow.
