Skeletal System

On average, both males and females have 12 pairs of ribs. There is no anatomical difference in the number of ribs between males and females.

Human ribs are simply called ribs. They are long curved bones that form the ribcage and provide protection to the organs in the chest cavity.

Yes, cartilage is a flexible connective tissue that provides support and cushioning to joints in the body. It is less rigid than bone but still has a firm and elastic structure.

There is one bone in each rib. The human rib cage typically contains 12 pairs of ribs, for a total of 24 individual rib bones.

Adults have 206 bones in their body. This number can vary slightly from person to person.

The bone nicknamed the funny bone is the humerus, this is because the name is similar to the word humour. The strange tinlge sensation when the elbow is hit against something is due to the ulnar nerve being stimulated.

You will be in a lot of pain if your Coccyx bone is broken and you will definitely know it. If you have any doubts then just go see your primary health care physician and get a check up. otherwise just put ice on it and relax a few days.

The sternum, or breastbone, is the central bone of the thorax. It lies in the middle of the chest and articulates with the ribs through the costal cartilages.

The tarsal bones are the bone of the ankle, heel and upper foot. Technically the ankle joint is the connection between the tibia and fibula (leg bones) and the talus, or ankle bone.

Bones are held together by ligaments, which are strong bands of connective tissue that attach bone to bone. Ligaments provide stability and support to joints, allowing for movement and function in the body. Injuries to ligaments, such as sprains, can result in joint instability and pain.

Set up the equation and solve using the formula for area of a circle: (pi = 3.14)

a = P * r-squared (substitute with known numbers)

113.04 = 3.14 * r-squared (divide both sides by pi (3.14))

36 = r-squared (find the square root of 36 to solve for the radius)

6 = r

A bone island on a rib is a benign growth of dense, compact bone that typically appears as a small, round lesion on the surface of the rib. It is usually asymptomatic and discovered incidentally on imaging studies. Bone islands are not typically associated with any health concerns or symptoms.

The bowl-shaped frame of bones at the base of the backbone is called the pelvis. The pelvis consists of the hip bones, sacrum, and coccyx, and serves as a strong foundation to support the spine and connect the upper and lower body. It also houses and protects the reproductive organs and assists in bearing body weight during activities like walking and running.

Yes, the fibula is one of two major bones in the lower part of the leg, below the knee.

Osteocarcinoma, in a basic sense, is a tumor in the bone or simply bone cancer. It often occurs in adolescent teens, but can occur at any age. Common places this occurs is around areas where the larger bones are, such as the femur and shoulder. Early symptoms are light to heavy pain in the region or over the entire body, depending on your case. Chances are increased genetically.

Bones serve as a reservoir for essential minerals such as calcium and phosphorus. These minerals can be released from bones into the bloodstream when needed to maintain proper mineral balance in the body. This process helps regulate mineral levels in the blood and supports various physiological functions, such as muscle contractions and nerve signaling.

Capillaries are smallest in diameter blood vessels, connect to the smallest arterioles and the smallest venules. Capillaries are extentions of the inner linings of arterioles in that their walls are endothelium. These thin walls form the semipermeble layer through which substances are exchanged between the blood and the tissue fluid surrounding body cells.

The bones in your fingers are called phalanges (phalanx if it is referring to only one bone).

The phalanges can be divided into three parts, distal phalanges(your fingertips), middle phalanges, and proximal phalanges(the part of your finger that meets with the knuckle).

The ilium, ischium, and pubis are the three bones that fuse together to form the hip bone, or coxal bone. They come together to create the acetabulum, the socket where the head of the femur inserts to form the hip joint.

Synthrotic, also known as "synthetic psychotic," is a term used to describe the synthetic versions of drugs that can induce psychotic symptoms. These substances are designed to mimic the effects of traditional drugs such as marijuana or amphetamines, but they can have unpredictable and dangerous effects on the user's mental health. They are often marketed as legal alternatives to illicit drugs but can pose serious health risks.

The sternum is part of the axial skeleton.

The Occipital bone contains the foramen magnum, which could allow access to the brain.

A distal phalanx is the finger bone or toe bone farthest toward the tip of the digit. They are numbered one to five and left to right to distinguish them.
