Skeletal System

Bone dismantling, or bone resorption, is promoted by factors such as high levels of parathyroid hormone, inflammation, and certain diseases like osteoporosis and hyperthyroidism. Additionally, lack of weight-bearing physical activity, hormonal imbalances, and deficiencies in nutrients like calcium and vitamin D can also contribute to bone dismantling.

I believe it starts during fetal development. That's the answer I put anyways....

Ossification of the bones begins around the 8th week of of pregnancy and is completed around the 25th week. Of course bones will continue grow as the infant reaches his/her adult figure, but at the 25th week the bones will have taken there final form.

Caudal vertebrae are tiny bones at the end of the spine and make up the tail bone in humans. In animals, they extend far into the tail but become more and more regressive and smaller as you go along

The femur is generally considered a stronger bone than the sternum because it is the longest and largest bone in the human body. The femur supports most of the body's weight and withstands significant forces during activities such as walking, running, and jumping. The sternum, while important for protecting the heart and lungs, is smaller and more delicate in comparison.

They click when they have not been moved or have stayed in one place for a long time, just like a 'dead' leg. It clicks to get itself back on track

Bones provide structural support for the body, allowing us to stand upright and move. They also protect vital organs, such as the brain and heart, from injury. Additionally, bones act as a storehouse for minerals like calcium, which are essential for various bodily functions.

The heart and lungs are protected by the thoracic cage. The ribcage surrounds and provides support to these vital organs, helping to protect them from external injuries.

The upper ridge of the ilium is called the iliac crest. It is a prominent bony structure located at the very top of the hip bone and can be felt along the waistline.

Chicken bones have less density than cow bones because they are smaller and lighter in weight due to the size difference between chickens and cows. Additionally, chicken bones have a higher proportion of air spaces compared to cow bones, which further reduces their density.

The stapes bone in the middle ear is the thinnest bone in the human body. It is crucial for transmitting sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear.

A funny play is often referred to as a comedy. Comedy plays are written with the intent to entertain and make the audience laugh through humorous situations, characters, and dialogue. Popular examples of funny plays include "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde and "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare.

Cartilage is the gristly material at the ends of bones that also forms a baby's skeleton. This cartilage gradually gets replaced by bone tissue during the baby's development, a process known as ossification.

The lower teeth are held in place by the mandible, which is the bone forming the lower jaw. It is a strong and movable bone that houses the teeth on the lower part of the face.

An additional hormone produced by the thyroid contributes to the regulation of blood calcium levels. Parafollicular cells produce calcitonin in response to hypercalcemia. Calcitonin stimulates movement of calcium into bone, in opposition to the effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH). However, calcitonin seems far less essential than PTH, as calcium metabolism remains clinically normal after removal of the thyroid, but not the parathyroids.

If the fontanelle never closes, it could be a sign of a medical condition like hydrocephalus (excessive accumulation of fluid in the brain) or craniosynostosis (early fusion of skull bones). This may lead to increased intracranial pressure and possible developmental delays if left untreated. It is important to consult a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.

I am giving you a website reference because it is better to see the pictures than for me to describe all the details of the bones of the foot. The information on this website comes from the Grey's Anatomy book.

The mid hand bone refers to the metacarpal bones in the hand, which are the long bones located between the wrist (carpal bones) and the fingers (phalanges). The human hand has five metacarpal bones, one for each finger. These bones provide structure and support to the hand and allow for flexibility and movement.

Yes because the bone is longer then it is wide.

Cartilage cushions and protects the bones where they meet, acting as a smooth surface for joint movement and absorbing shock to prevent damage to the bones.

Yes, the patellofemoral joint is part of the knee joint. It is formed between the patella (kneecap) and the femur (thigh bone) and helps in the movement and stabilization of the knee during activities like walking, running, and jumping.

It depends on the type of ape, but is between six and nine per side (so a total of 12 to 18).

Tendons and ligaments are composed of collagen fibers, which provide strength and flexibility to withstand tension along their axis. The collagen fibers are arranged in a parallel fashion in tendons to provide tensile strength, while they are more wavy and crimped in ligaments to allow for some elasticity.

Ankylosis is the condition of crooked stiff bones.

Ankyl/o - meaning crooked, fusion, stiffness

-osis Condition

Definition (n) stiffening or rigidity or a joint either as a result of a disease process or from surgery.

An adult salmon has around 60-70 bones. Their skeletons are mainly made up of cartilage, with very few actual bones.
