Skeletal System

The cartilage between your ribs and breastbone allows for flexibility and movement of the ribcage during breathing. As you inhale, the cartilage expands and stretches, while it contracts and returns to its original position when you exhale. This movement helps to accommodate the expansion and contraction of the chest cavity during breathing.

When you are born there is more than 300 bones in your body, but when you start to get older you start to "lose" bones. When you are a adult you have 206 bones in your body.

Yes, both the urinary system and the digestive system are involved in eliminating waste from the body. The urinary system is responsible for filtering waste from the blood and producing urine, while the digestive system is responsible for breaking down food and absorbing nutrients while eliminating waste in the form of feces.

Your skeleton has five major functions. It provides shape and support, enables you to move, protects your organs, produces blood cells, and stores minerals and other materials until your body needs them.

depends what bone it is! however as I sit here typing with a broken humerus (2nd time) and shoulder I can assure you the pain makes you feel very violently sick. this can actually last a few days. it can also cause you to have an upset stomach - I guess that's shock for you!

Tendons connect bone to muscle. Tendons are tough, flexible bands of tissue that anchor muscles to bones, enabling the muscles to exert force and move the bones. The strong bond between tendons and bones allows for efficient movement and joint stability.

Any place where 2 or more joints by a tough band of tissue is called a ligament

Note- Pay more attention in school and get a good education.

Bones are used in bodys for holding them up. If you didn't have bones, you'll be a big jelly-like person on the floor. Bones are made up of cells that throw anything that makes them weak. Did you know millions of cells can fit in this period.

Hi im 38 weeks pregnant and i keep getting it to i asked the midwife about it but she didnt seem to have a clue i am going through search engines on the internet to try and find out if i discover anything i will let you know.

The membrane covering a living bone's surface is called the periosteum. It is a dense, fibrous layer that contains blood vessels, nerves, and cells important for bone maintenance and repair. The periosteum helps protect the bone and plays a role in bone growth and healing.

Tendons connect muscles to bones. They are strong bands of tissue that help transfer the force generated by muscles to move and support the bones during movement.

There is no scientific evidence to suggest that the density of bones is inherently different between Black and white individuals. Factors such as diet, physical activity, genetics, and overall health have a greater influence on bone density than race.

bone marrow is in the middle of your bone.

The ribs, the sternum, and the scapula work together to protect the heart.

No, a baby is born with around 270 bones, which eventually fuse together as they grow into adulthood to form the average adult skeleton of 206 bones. So, the number of bones actually decreases as a baby grows into a child.

A bone sticking up could indicate a fracture, but it's not a definitive sign. Other symptoms like pain, swelling, bruising, or difficulty moving the hand are also common with a broken bone. It's best to seek medical attention for proper diagnosis and treatment.

The femur is a long bone located in the thigh that protects the delicate structures of the upper leg, such as blood vessels and nerves. It also provides support for the body's weight and facilitates movement at the hip joint.

It could be a number of things. Under the right ribcage is where the liver and gallbadder are located. Pain that radiated through to the shoulder blades could be gallstones. Pain just under the right ribs could indicate a liver problem or pulled muscle. If you are pregnant and that pain is accompanied by headaches, blurred vision, hypertension and edema, see your care provider immediately as this may be a symptom of pre-eclampsia.

The sternum, also known as the breastbone, is a flat bone typically consisting of three parts. These parts are the manubrium, body, and xiphoid process. So, in total, the sternum consists of three bones fused together.

Your spine is made up of small bones called vertebrae that are stacked on top of each other with cushioning discs in between. This structure helps absorb shock and distribute the weight evenly as you walk, reducing the impact on individual bones and preventing them from breaking. Additionally, the muscles and ligaments around the spine provide support and help stabilize it during movement.

The hyoid bone supports the tongue and serves as an attachment for muscles the move the tongue and have part in the function of swallowing. :)

The medical name for the funny bone is the ulnar nerve. It runs down the arm and through the elbow, making it susceptible to injury when bumped or knocked, causing a unique tingling or numbing sensation.

Yes. Even though the spinal cord is severed, all the reflexes still work both above and below the severed spinal cord.
