Skeletal System

Neurocranium or the calvaria (NB technically calvaria includes the nurocranium plus other part)

The skeletal system provides structure to the body, protects internal organs, supports movement and locomotion, stores minerals, and produces blood cells. It is crucial for the body's overall functioning and plays a key role in providing stability and protection.

Outer or inner? The bone between the shoulder and the elbow is the humerus. The two bones in the forearm (between the elbow and the wrist) are the larger, longer bone, the radius, and the smaller bone, the ulna.

Cartilage is a tough, flexible connective tissue that is present in the walls of the respiratory system, such as the trachea and bronchi. It provides structural support and helps to keep the airways open during breathing.

the exta bone in the females body is an extra rib.

No: this is a very widespread and longstanding myth, relating to the story in Genesis that God took a rib out of Adam while he slept and used it to fashion Eve.

A human, man or woman, commonly has twelve pairs of ribs. This can be verified by looking at a skeleton or a standard anatomy chart.

In rare cases a person has thirteen pairs, the extra pair being referred to as a "gorilla rib" as these apes normally have thirteen pairs of ribs.

It is also possible for a man or woman to have a stunted rib or a pair of stunted ribs growing out of their neck, these being known as cervical ribs. These can go undetected for life, or can make themselves known at any time by constricting muscle function. I was checked for these (I didn't have one) when, for a brief period while I was in my late 40s, I became unable to lift my right arm upward past an angle of about 45 degrees. It was finally decided that the problem was due to a muscle spasm I was experiencing as a result of anxiety I was feeling at the time. (Well, it beat developing an ulcer.)

Orthopedic surgeons

Dark spots on a bone scan in painful areas can indicate increased bone activity, which may suggest inflammation and arthritis. However, further evaluation by a healthcare professional, such as an orthopedic specialist or rheumatologist, is needed to confirm the diagnosis and determine the appropriate treatment.

Bones, along with other tissues such as cartilage, ligaments, tendons and a few others, form what is called connective tissue. It is these types of tissues that hold the body together and keep everything in place including the internal organs.

Black spots on a bone scan may indicate areas of increased bone activity or hot spots, which can be caused by conditions such as fractures, infection, inflammation, or bone tumors. These areas typically show up as dark areas on the scan due to higher uptake of the radioactive tracer used in the scan.

The bone marrow is responsible for producing blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. It is essential for maintaining a healthy immune system and proper oxygen transport throughout the body.

When a bone is broken, specialized cells called osteoblasts and chondrocytes work together to repair it. Initially, blood clots form around the break and a soft callus of fibrous tissue is created. Over time, this callus hardens into new bone tissue, restoring the structure and strength of the bone.

Neanderthals had 12 pairs of ribs, the same as modern humans.

Chicken bones in water will eventually start to soften and break down due to the water's ability to dissolve the minerals in the bones. Over time, this can lead to the bones becoming brittle and more susceptible to breaking apart.

There are 3 tissues that make up bone.

1.compact tissue - the harder, outer tissue of bones

2.cancellous tissue - the sponge-like tissue inside bones.

3.subchondral tissue - the smooth tissue at the ends of bones

Compact and cancellous tissue together are called the periosteum.

The femur, also known as the thigh bone, is the strongest bone in the human body. It is able to support large amounts of weight and withstand significant forces, making it crucial for movement and stability.

The axial skeleton provides support and protection for the body's vital organs such as the brain, spinal cord, and heart. It also serves as an attachment point for muscles, facilitates movement, and helps maintain posture.

Your ribs are flexible due to the cartilage that connects them to the sternum and helps absorb shock. Additionally, the joints between the ribs and the spine allow for some movement. The ribs also have intercostal muscles between them that help with breathing and movement.

Children have red bone marrow in almost all bones to support the production of red blood cells. As children grow, red bone marrow may transform to yellow bone marrow, which is predominantly made up of fat cells. Adults typically have more yellow bone marrow, with red bone marrow mainly found in the flat bones, such as the hip and shoulder blades.

Stability is the ability of a joint to withstand mechanical shocks and movements without being dislocated or otherwise injured. Stability depends on a number of factors, including the strength of the ligaments that bind the bones together, and the strength of muscles associated with the joint. Excessive flexibility training, especially without appropriate strength training, may reduce stability making an individual more prone to dislocations.

If you are asking what holds bones together at the joints, it is the tough fibrous band of connective tissue called Ligaments.

Ligaments are composed of dense bundles of fibers and spindle-shaped cells (fibroblasts and fibrocytes), with little ground substance. White ligament is rich in sturdy, inelastic collagen fibers, yellow ligament is more elastic.

A skull acts as armor to protect the brain. While the skull is capable of fractures and breakage, it protects the brain floating in Cerebrospinal fluid. However, because the brain is floating in this fluid the skull can also act as a damaging wall as the brain slaps back and forth during head banging, car crashes, severe shaking and any other sort of sudden go and stop motion that effects the head. It protects the brain.

The closest bone to the midline on the anterior (front) of the body is the sternum, the lower tip of the sternum is called the xyphoid process. Other than that, there really is no bone close to the midline of the body that has an end. On the back (posterior) is the vertebral column, but those bones do not have ends on them.

A five letter word meaning pelvic bone is sacra. The pelvis is located at the lower trunk of the body and where the urine is received before passing into the ureter.

Children have more bones than adults due to some bones fusing together as they grow. At birth, a baby has around 270 bones, which eventually reduce to 206 bones by the time they reach adulthood. This is because certain bones, like the skull, pelvis, and spine, fuse together during childhood and adolescence.

Both substances hold together the bodies of various creatures such as mammals, fish and other vertebrates. Cartilage (also known as gristle particularly in the context of cooking) is firm, flexible elastic tissue; in vertebrates - at least, the higher orders - the unborn or very young have a lot of cartilage which is mostly replaced by bone as the subject matures, though ears, for example, stay as cartilage. Cartilaginous creatures such as sharks never develop bones and their skeletons are completely cartilaginous, though their teeth are of course formed with calcium. Bones are rigid connective tissue (which is why they're no good for ears, for example) formed mostly of calcium phosphate and collagen and, unlike cartilage, are rigid individually and flexible only where joints are available, such as knees, elbows, jaws and so on.
