Skeletal System

Two types of bone breaks are fractures and complete breaks. Fractures are just cracks in the bone, but complete breaks are when the bone literally is broken in two pieces. You've shattered the bone if it's broken in more that two pieces.

In a femur it would be something like a hard landing on your foot causing pressure and thereby creating a spiral as it cracked in an upward motion. In an arm is similar. It takes a lot of force to cause a spiral fracture.

This depends on the bone; to break a finger generally doesn't take much force, but your femur or your thigh bone is harder than cement!

There are more than 12 bones in a foot.

probably like 52

I heard that he needs about 3 months to the ligaments and the muscle tissue rebuild and strengthen his knee. I think this is not a quick recovery if he really want to play football again in a short period. =)

Some, only one does not like the skull and it would be creepy if it can move.

yes they can.

Do you mean one " piece" of bone? If the spine were solid it would be inflexible and our range of motion would be reduced. We could not bend at the waist or bend our necks or anywhere in between.

Kangaroos are vertebrate animals. Yes, kangaroos have spinal columns.

Long bones mostly consist of compact bone, but the region that does consist of spongy bone is called the epiphysis. There is a proximal epiphysis and a distal epiphysis.

The region consisting of the compact bone is diaphysis.

Two of the bones in my neck are fused together. I was born with it and it dosnt effect me. Mine was discovered when I got a cat scan done yesterday after almost snapping my neck in soccer.

Yes.

The skull is a bony structure that supports the face and forms a protective cavity for the brain. It is comprised of many bones, formed by intramembranous ossification, which are joined together by sutures (fibrous joints). These joints fuse together in adulthood and by permitting brain growth during adolescence.

The cervical bones (1-5) run from the base of the skull to the bottom of the neck, roughly. The thoracic vertebrae (1-12) run from the end of the cervical spine to the lumbar spine. The lumbar vertebrae (1-5) run from the end of the thoracic spine to the tailbone.

There is normally swelling at the site of the break. The swelling is intended to minimize movement.

With the females it's the breast..And with the males it's the penis.

The "ossicles" are the hammer, anvil, and stirrup (the malleus, incus, and stapes) which are small bones of the middle ear. They carry vibrations from the eardrum to the cochlea, which allows us to hear sounds. They also "hear" sounds carried by vibrations in the body.

There are 14 facial bones in the jaw

There are several medical disorders of the skeletal system. Some of the disorders are arthritis, osteoporosis, scoliosis, and kyphosis, fractures, sprains, ,Osteomyelitis, Pagets Disease, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, bursitis, spina bifida, Talipes equinovarus ( club foot), Tendinitis, Kyphosis ( hunch back).
