Skeletal System

I am also 35 weeks pregnant and have had those on and off for the last 2 weeks. It was my right side at first, feels like the riib and it ached all the time especially when I touched it, it was super tender. Now it's my left side and same location, under the rib or rib, I can't tell. Spoke to the doc about it and said that I shouldn't worry about it and that it's just the uterus putting a lot of pressure on my ribs. I know what you're going through and it's SO uncomfortable but just keep changing positions and it will hopefully go away soon.

The thoracic space refers to the area within the chest cavity that contains the heart, lungs, and other thoracic organs. It is bounded by the rib cage and the diaphragm, playing a crucial role in protecting and supporting these vital organs. Issues within the thoracic space can impact breathing, heart function, and overall health.

Unlike apples, some foods take longer than others. Apple cores and banana peels and oranges peels both take 2-5 weeks to decompose in the air, usually 2-3 in the ground. Other foods (based on how complicated they are could take a lot longer [especially with grease] and only natural foods decompose quickly). To decompose it, if you can, dig a spot in your yard espcially a place already dead (this will epecially help grow grass back), and bury what you want, suggesting organic from nature foods so they don't end up in landfills, and bury them. Dig the spot up about a month later and see that it's gone.

The femur bone is located in the thigh. It is the longest and strongest bone in the human body, connecting the hip joint to the knee joint.

Yes, the sternum is located in the anterior (front) part of the body, while the descending colon is located in the posterior (back) part of the body. Therefore, the sternum is medial to the descending colon.

hello well the specialist is named dr.hiberton and he is very good at his job! thank you for saving my life! in a way! thanks! neurosurgens deal with the spine and brain/skull

The joints that hold together the bones of the skull are called sutures, while the joints that hold together the bones of the sternum are called cartilaginous joints.

Bones provide support to the muscles and give them something to pull against. Muscles are able to contract and relax to provide movement. Tendons are a bit like strings, which allow a muscle to pull on a distant bone. For instance, the muscles which raise and lower your fingers are actually in your wrists, and you can see the tendons which pull your fingers on the back of your hand.

The three functions of the skeleton are support, protection, and movement. The skeleton provides structural support for the body, protects internal organs, and acts as a framework for muscles to facilitate movement.

The smallest bones in the human body are located in the middle ear. They are called the ossicles, which include the malleus (hammer), incus (anvil), and stapes (stirrup). These tiny bones play a crucial role in transmitting sound vibrations to the inner ear.

The femur is the longest and heaviest bone in the body. It is located in the thigh and plays a critical role in supporting body weight and enabling movement.

My granddaughter has been diagnosed with lytic lesion on her leg bone and has just undergone a bone biopsy. Is this the normal procedure? What is the likelihood that this is cancer.

The sesamoid bones (correlates to our ankle), the pastern, a small bone forgotten name of, the triangle-shaped navicular bone inside the hoof; the outer part of the top of the hoof where it meets the skin is the coronary band which the hoof-wall grows from (like the quick of our nails); the bottom of the hoof is the sole; in the center of the sole, running from the the heel to the toe in an elongated thin triangular shape is the frog--this is living tissue, as is the sole and the interior of the hoof.

There are two bones in the human legs: the femur (thigh bone) and the tibia (shin bone).

Hollow bones in birds reduce their weight, making it easier for them to fly. This lightweight structure also allows for efficient oxygen distribution within the bones, which aids in maintaining high metabolism needed for flight. Ultimately, hollow bones contribute to the bird's overall agility and maneuverability in the air.

Having our bones on the inside provides better protection and support for our vital organs, muscles, and nervous system. It also allows for more flexibility and movement compared to having an exoskeleton. Additionally, internal bones support our body weight more effectively, enabling us to stand upright and move efficiently.

A 13 year old would have between 206 and 270 bones in their body, depending on the rate of which the proper bones fuse together in their life.

Bone Marrow is on the inside of our bones and it is there to help produce the three types of blood cells, as well as lymphocytes, which support the immune system. Marrow is a sponge-like texture unlike our actual bones which are hard.

Humans have 12 pairs of ribs - seven true and five false or floating rib pairs.

In childhood, several bones in the human body fuse together as part of the natural growth process. For example, the bones in the skull fuse to form the cranium, while the epiphyses (growth plates) in long bones fuse to the diaphysis (shaft). This fusion process helps to provide stability and structure to the growing body.

Humans normally have 12 pairs of ribs, but occasionally there are 2 extra pairs of very short ribs.

The smallest bone in the human body is the stapes bone, which is located in the middle ear. It is shaped like a stirrup and plays a crucial role in transmitting sound vibrations from the eardrum to the inner ear.

: Osseous tissue is largely made up of inorganic material and when this is set into place, it is not conducive to dynamic change as this requires excessive force/energy and compromises structural integrity of the bone. : Interstitial growth requires the hyperplasia or hypertrophy of cells within the interior of a part or structure such that they push the other formed cells outwards. As a structural organ, bone is very hard and rigid and as such it requires excessive force to create new space interstitially.

The two types of bone are compact bone and spongy bone. Compact bone is dense and forms the outer layer of bones, providing strength and protection. Spongy bone is less dense and found inside bones, providing structural support and flexibility.
