Whatnis your concution after compairing the bone as you bend them?
The conclusion after dipping a bone in water is that the bone is not leached, its calcium remains intact, and the bone remains as brittle as before.
How does the skeleton produce movement?
Your skeleton does not actually produce movement. That is the job of your muscles. When they contract they pull on bones which are joined together by joints. The joints function much the same as a fulcrum and produce three different types of levers depending on where the muscles attach. The most stable attachment is called the origin, and the more movable one is called the insertion. It is the bone that has the insertion end of the muscle that we are familiar with as the bone that moves.
Fibrous joint; bone is connected by ligaments; slightly flexible (amphiarthrotic)
How does lack of exercise affect bone?
It effects the bone by keeping it the same which can be bad. As you grow they are more breakable because your bones are in the same fragile state as when you were younger.
What illnesses can be possibly cured with a bone marrow transplant?
acute lymphatic leukemia, acute myelogenous leukemia, chronic myelogenous leukemia, Hodgkin disease, Non-Hodgkin lymphoma, neuroblastoma, severe combined immune deficiency, anapalstic anemia, thalassemia, sickle cell anemia, Fanconi's anemia
How does the skeletal system assist in breathing?
Major part of the respiratory system is the lung. Lungs are located inside the rib cage. It is called a cage for a reason - ribs surround the lungs on the sides and any impact is taken by the ribs rather then the lungs directly.

The bones of the hand include 28 phalanges, 5 metacarpals, and 8 carpals. The phalanges make up the fingers and there are three for each finger except for the thumb which is only made up of two. The metacarpals align with each finger, starting with the 1st which aligns with the thumb to the fifth which aligns with the pinky. The 8 carpal bones make up the wrist. They are the scaphoid, lunate, triquetrum, pisiform, trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, and hamate.
What bones form the bumps on the medial and lateral sides of a wrist?
The radius forms the bump on the lateral side of the wrist. The ulna forms the bump on the medial side of the wrist. Remember to keep anatomical position in mind when determining directionals for the upper limb.
What the main bone in a human body?
Some of the main bones of the human skeloton are ; the Skull - Cranium, Mandible and Maxilla. The shoulder girdle - clavicle and scapula

What type of muscle attaches to the bone?
Very few, if any, skeletal muscles in the human body are not attached to bone at the origin or insertion. There are a few muscles which do not have 2 bony attachments, and instead are connected by tendinous sheaths to other muscles - the abdominal muscles come to mind.
If we are talking all muscles, there are many - the heart, which is muscle, is not attached to bone. The smooth muscles in the vasculature, eyes, gut, esophagus, etc are not connected to bone.
Depends on which muscle you mean. :)

if i remember correctly, we have receptors throughout our body which will transfer all sensations to our brain, which will then immediately send a signal back to react. Example: by placing your finger over a lit candle, the heat from the flame will cause your receptors in your finger to react by quickly alerting the brain that there is something foreign affecting the body, which in return, the brain will transmit signals through the body causing your skeletal system and muscles to react accordingly.
