What are differences between compact and spongy bone the can be seen with the eye?
Spongy bone can appear yellow because it has some fat in it, and it is possible to see small holes in spongy bone. Also, spongy bone is not long (like the wrist). Compact bone is usually long (like a femur) and white.

Why human being has bone on their body structure?
To be able to move cause thr spine controls the mivement. With no backbone you woldnt be able to move.
Give two reason why bones are living material?
Bones are considered living material because they contain living cells, such as osteoblasts and osteoclasts, which are responsible for bone formation and resorption. Additionally, bones are highly vascularized, meaning they have a rich supply of blood vessels, allowing for the delivery of nutrients and oxygen, as well as the removal of waste products. This dynamic nature enables bones to grow, repair, and adapt to mechanical stress.
What happens when the hyoid bone breaks?
I don't think you die when your hyoid bone is broken. I think that if you're dead, a broken hyoid is strongly indicative of strangelation. So, if you're dead and if you have a broken hyoid, you were probably strangled. The hyoid breaking just occurs, but I think that it's suffocation from lack of air that will kill you...not the hyoid bone itself.
How many bones do you use during walking?
28 bones move in your body when you walk!
add My sources suggest that I have 26 bones in each foot, and another four in each leg, a total of 60 altogether. Many of these are needed to walk, even the small bones in the phalanges aid in walking, and folk who have lost their big toe report a significant loss.
Do narwhals have the same bones as a human?
Whales are mammals, and like humans, whales have an internal skeleton and a spine - only on a much larger scale!
What are two jobs that cartilage does for the body?
keeps bones from rubbing together
helps give the body shape
The articular cartilage is the thin layer of white tissue covering the bone in the joint space. The articular cartilage is made of hyaline cartilage.
What is the use for cervical traction?
The arc4life cervical traction neck pillow is a special pillow that provides gentle neck traction to the cervical neck spine. There is a special "V" on one side of the neck pillow. This neck pillow is great for someone with a :
- herniated disk
- bulging disk
- degeneration in the neck
- arthritis in the neck
- forward head posture
- anterior forward carriage
- poor neck posture
- military neck (as seen on a neck x-ray)
- occipital neuralgia
In addition to using the arc4life cervical neck traction pillow at night, it is also recommended that one use a traction unit (such an over the door traction unit, a posture pump or pronex)- as directed by their chiropractor, physical therapist or health professional.
What are the alternatives to cervical cryotherapy?
Laser treatment and Loop electrocautery excision procedure (LEEP).
Technically no because compact bone is not a type of bone, it is part of a bone that contains blood vessels and canals in a part of the bone called the shaft. The ribs are actually a flat bone because they protect organs.
the arch in your foot allows blood vessels and nerves to reach your toes
without you stepping on them and damaging them while you walk.
all of your little toes can rest on the next biggest toe except your big toe
it has to be larger to make up for having no next toe to rely on for support.
^ dont listen to that idiot, clearly he/she doesnt know anything about feet, im the foot expert here and i know that ever person in the whole universe has 5 toes on only one foot, the other foot has none.. so yeah stick that in your pipe and smoke it, the only things to have 5 toes on each foot are aliens and we all know there is no such thing as aliens!
At what junction do nerves contact skeletal muscle fibers?
Motor neurons meet the muscle cells at neuromuscular junctions. Neurotransmitters are passed from the nerve across a synaptic cleft to the muscle to make it contract. Any damage to this nerve will mean that those cells will not contract (move).
What does the circulatory system control?
The circulatory system is only indirectly involved with creating homeostasis. Homeostasis is controlled by several systems including the nervous system and the endocrine system and most other organs. These systems depend on the circulatory system but are controlling the release of hormones, increase in blood flow, regulation of fluids in the blood, etc.
Platelet precursor formed in the bone marrow?
The precursor cell to blood platelets are megakaryocyte precursor (MkP) cells in the bone marrow.
How does the skeletal and muscalar system work together?
The muscular system enables movement of the skeletal system while the skeletal system provides structure for the muscular system.
