Forms the larynx the coastal cartilages of the ribs and the embryonic skeleton?
The larynx, coastal cartilages, and embryonic skeleton are all formed from cartilage. Cartilage is a firm, flexible connective tissue that provides structure and support to these specific areas of the body during development and growth. Once fully developed, some cartilage may ossify (turn into bone) while other cartilage structures persist in their cartilaginous form.
Which appendicular bones have a styloid process?
Styloid process of the ulna & radius.
The temporal bone, the radius bone, and the ulna bone.

Framework of bones that support lower abdomen?
The hip bones, sacrum, and coccyx form the framework that supports the lower abdomen. These bones provide stability and structure to the pelvic region, enabling it to bear weight and support the organs in the lower abdomen. Additionally, the pelvic bones serve as attachment points for muscles and ligaments that help with movement and support of the abdomen.
The hardness of bone is due to what?
The hardness of bone is due to the calcium salts deposited in it.
The exceptional hardness of bone, which allows it to resist compression, is attributed to the presence of inorganic hydroxyapatites. Hydroxyapatites such as calcium phosphates are particularly important for bone hardness. Organic substances such as collagen fibers contribute to tensile strength, but not to hardness.
the presence of inorganic hydroxyapatites.
Which bone is a large sesamoid bone?
The largest sesamoid bone in the body is the patella, most commonly known as the kneecap.
Similies from The Skeleton Man?
I need to find similes for the skeletal system. What is a simile for the respiratory system?
this is most likely scoliosis I have this condition, I was sent for tests to confirm it and was offered an operation to straighten the spine but refused as the operation is very risky . doctors still don't know the main cause of scoliosis it literally is just "one of these things", and contradictary to myths scoliosis is not caused by bad posture. it can also be diagnosed at any age. do not worry about this if you have it, it doesn't restrict movement or quality of life :)

Yes, cranial bones develop within fibrous membranes known as the sutures. These sutures allow for the skull bones to grow and expand as the brain grows during development. The sutures eventually fuse together as the individual matures.
What are the bones that form the human jaw?

How many bones can you feel in your body?
There are a total of 206 bones in the adult human body that can be felt by touch. These include bones in areas like the skull, spine, ribs, arms, and legs. Some bones, like those in the hands and feet, may be more easily felt due to their location closer to the skin's surface.
What happens as you get older when the small ear bones get joined together?
When the small ear bones (ossicles) get joined together (otosclerosis), it can lead to conductive hearing loss. This condition restricts the movement of the ossicles, affecting the transmission of sound waves to the inner ear. Treatment options include hearing aids or surgery to replace the fused bones with prosthetic ones.
Ligaments are tough bands of connective tissue that bind bone to bone and provide stability to joints. They help control the movement of the joint and prevent excessive motion that could cause injury.
List the name of the long bones of the upper and lower limbs?
your arms are the upper limbs and your legs are the lower limbs :)
Are human bones rough or smooth?
The human skeleton consists of both fused and individual bones supported and supplemented by ligaments, tendons, muscles and cartilage. It serves as a scaffold which supports organs, anchors muscles, and protects organs such as the brain, lungs and heart.
The ends of some bones are smooth because they form joints. These are referred to as freely moving joints and they are the most common ones in our body. The ends of the bones are smooth because they are covered in hyaline cartilage, which is like soft marble. Inside the joint capsule that contains the ends of the bones with the hyaline cartilage there is a lubricant called synovial fluid that helps the joint move with minimal amount of friction.
How long should an evening gown be?
An evening gown typically falls to the floor or slightly longer to create a formal and elegant look. It should be long enough to cover your shoes and skim the floor as you walk. The exact length will depend on your height and personal preference.
