Skeletal System

In general, bone names are not capitalized unless they are named after a specific person or place. So, "humerus" would typically be written in lowercase, unless you are referring to the specific bone or using it in a title where capitalization is required.

The occipital condyles allow the head to turn side to side.

Synchrondoses, a form of cartilagous synarthrosis. Found between two ossifying centres of bone in development. Example, the epiphyseal growth plate between the epiphysis and diaphysis in developing long bones.

It all depends on how much energy is transferred to the brain, how big the crack is and where it is located.

It may lead to concussion injury

It may lead to Cerbrospinal fluid leak

Or the patient may not have any symptoms at all

If the patient has a depressed fracture along with the crack it may cause a mass effect on the brain.

Haematoma caused by the crack may cause mass effect on the brain.

It may also cause what is call panda eyes or racoon eyes due to ecchymosis and extravasation of blood underneath the skin.

human bones consist of smooth and rough cartilidge which allows for movement, a hard layer of compact bone gives it strength, inside the bone their are 2 types of marrow: yellow marrow-which stores fat cells and minerals, and red marow- where red blood cells are made. inside the compact bone their is also a layer of spongy bone- this is like honeycomb, it makes the bone strong without being too heavy

The condyle is a bony landmark defined as a smooth rounded knob. It is often found at the ends of long bones, such as the femur or mandible, and functions in articulating with other bones to allow movement at joints.

The right femur is typically larger and more robust than the left femur. The head of the femur also angles slightly inward on the right side. Additionally, the greater trochanter is located more laterally on the right femur compared to the left.

The weight of compact bone can vary depending on factors such as age, gender, and individual differences. On average, compact bone tissue comprises about 80% of the weight of the human skeleton. The weight of a compact bone can range from a few grams to several kilograms.

The manubrium or manubrium sterni is the upper part of the sternum. It articulates with the clavicles and first two ribs.

The long bone in the thigh is called the femur.

The brain does not have joints. Joints are primarily found in the skeletal system to facilitate movement between bones or cartilage. The brain is a soft, gelatinous organ that is protected by the skull and is not connected through joints like the rest of the body.

David Boreanaz portrays the character of Seeley Booth in the TV show "Bones." Booth is an FBI special agent who partners with forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan to solve crimes.

A lumbar pillow is designed for the user's lower back to provide comfort and support. Usually, a lumbar pillow's purpose is to assist with posture while the user is sitting up. Lumbar pillows are more firm than head pillows and are usually made with memory foam or high resiliency foam.

The fibula is a long and slender bone located in the lower leg, beside the tibia. It is classified as a type of long bone. The fibula mainly serves as a support for the leg muscles and has a minor role in weight-bearing compared to the tibia.

Hyaline cartilage

actually it is articular cartilage that lines the end of long bones. depending on the age of the body and whether it is a fetus or child/adult. hyaline cartilage disappears around the 6th week old fetal development and is replaces with osseous tussue. there is a region, farther from the marrow cavity, that consists of typical hyaline cartilage that shows no sign of transformation into bone in the early years of growth. it is in the "zone of reserve cartilage"

The manubrium is the superior portion of the sternum and what articulates with the clavicles.

Blood vessels that nourish the osteocytes travel through the Haversian or Volkmann's canals within the bone tissue. These canals provide a pathway for blood supply to reach the osteocytes, ensuring they receive necessary nutrients and oxygen for their metabolic activities.

In Hells Kitchen, he broke his wrist cleaning the firetruck as a punishment. Coincidentally Kevin also sprained his ankle on the same day.

None. They are made only of muscle. That is why they are less smart than us. Their brains aren't protected, so they lose brain cells very quickly, even though they are born with as many as a human.

The axial and appendicular are the two divisions in the skeletal system.

The axial skeleton consists of bones that form the axis of the body and support and protect the organs of the head, neck, and trunk the skull, the sternum, the ribs, the vertebral column

The appendicular skeleton is composed of bones that anchor the appendages to the axial skeleton. The upper and lower extremities, the shoulder girdle, the pelvic girdle

The mandible, also known as the lower jaw bone, is the only moveable bone in the face. It is unique in that it can move up and down, as well as side to side, enabling actions such as chewing and speaking.

The maxilla bone contains the sockets of the upper teeth in the human skull. It forms the upper jaw and plays a vital role in supporting and securing the roots of the upper teeth within the oral cavity.

1. Long bones, such as the femur and humerus.
2. Short bones, like the carpal and tarsal bones.
3. Flat bones, including the skull and ribs.
4. Irregular bones, such as the vertebrae and hip bones.
5. Sesamoid bones, like the patella (kneecap).
6. Sutural bones, found within sutures of the skull.

The tough fibrous connective tissue covering of a bone is called periosteum. It contains blood vessels, nerves, and cells involved in bone formation and repair. Periosteum helps in protecting the bone and facilitating nutrient exchange for bone health.
