Lead. Even a thin layer of lead blocks most radiation, where bone is fairly transparent at many frequencies.

No. Not all bones have possess a body, spine, and transverse foramina

A bone is an organ. It is made up of multiple tissues working together.

diaphysis

A brace or support to a broken bone would be a cast. When a person experiences a clean break in a bone, a doctor will apply a cast to the broken bone area. The cast allows to bone to heal properly.

lower end of femur, upper end of tibia, calcaneus, talus and cuboid have ossified by birth.Among them the lower end of femur, calcaneus and talus are more persistent.

occipital bone

Occipital bone
The bone is called the occipital bone which forms most of the skulls posterior wall and base. It articulates with anteriorly with the paried parietal and temporal bones via the lambdoid and occipitomastoid stures. It also joins the sphenoid bone in the cranial floor.

There are 4 curvatures of the spine: cervical,thoracic, lumbar, and sacral. During embryogenesis the spine is all curved in one direction, like the letter C with your feet and head next to each other. A cervical and lumbar curvatures are formed and the other two, sacral and thoracic, occur just as a continuation of the curvature that existed before. The cervical curvature exists so that our heads can be upright as opposed to pointing to the floor. The lumbar curvature occurs so that we can stand upright and walk on two legs. This curvature allows the weight of the body to placed directly downwards on the sacral spine. Hope that helps

The trachea, heart, lungs, bronchial tubes, thyroid gland, and the larynx.

This sounds like a trick question, but I would say that if he is the "one arm man", he would only have one arm.

The hyoid will sometimes break when a person has been strangled.

To make your wrist bigger and the rest of you stay the same? Yeah, very unlikely able to happen. The only way to make your wrist bigger is gain weight. The fat will and should form around both wrists. If you are fully grown, your bones cannot grow anymore. If youre not willing to gain weight and you are not growing anymore, just accept the fact thats you. Not being mean or anything. Trust me Ive been there.

Hello,

The skeletal system is made up of our bones. Think of the skeletons you see at Halloween time. The job of our skeleton is to give our body support and strength from the inside to hold us together.

Our organs are completely different from our skeletal system because each organ is responsible for it's own unique body function. For example, our heart, pancreas, liver, brain, lungs, kidneys etc. would all be considered organs. The heart is a pump for our body, the pancreas is an enzyme maker to help food digest, the liver a filter, the brain the CEO and messenger service, lungs are the gas exchangers, kidneys are another kind of filter and so on.

Good question.

the tibia is the shin bone

thw fibula is the other bone, which runs through the calf.

they are very close together

Fibrous dysplasia, Osteomalacia, Osteoporosis, and Osteopenia are all diseases that cause the thinning of bone.

Fibrous dysplasia is a disease that affects one or more bones. During the course of this disease, growths or lesions replace healthy bone with fibrous tissue. This tissue elongates and thins the bone, making it weak and deformed.

Osteomalacia is a disease caused by insufficient intake or malabsorption of vitamin D. It leads to soft, deformed bones that may be thin, brittle, and painful. Osteomalacia's affects can sometimes be stopped or reversed by high doses of vitamin D and sunlight.

Osteoporosis is a disease marked by an extreme reduction in bone mineral density. This lowered bone mineral density is due to an imbalance between bone resorption and bone formation, usually caused by chronic malnutrition, hormonal defficiencies, medications, and/or diseases. Osteoporosis causes weakness, extreme fragility (increased fracture risk), thin and brittle bones, and occasionally loss of height. Osteoporosis is considered life-threatening and is usually treated with supplemental calcium, vitamin D, biphosphates, hormones, and physically strengthening activity.

Osteopenia is another disease marked by low bone mineral density. The bone mineral density of an Osteopenic is not as severely reduced as someone with Osteoporosis, but the patient is highly susceptible to developing Osteoporosis over time. To prevent further bone loss, a doctor often prescribes supplemental calcium, vitamin D, biphosphates, hormone therapy, and/or extra physical activity.

There are other bone-thinning diseases but the four above are the most frequently observed.

Yes. And as far as I'm aware, all animals with internal skeletons have rib cages, to protect the vital organs.

A rabbit has 18 coccygeal vertabrae.

The weight and density of a persons bone structure determines the body frame.

The type of rays are x-rays. The way they take a picture of just one part of your body is they put a lead apron on you.

The word "skeleton" refers to the bones and not to the body. It's the entire structure of bones that supports the body.

The word comes from the Greek word "skeletós," meaning "dried up," from the verb that means "to dry." It was used to refer to a mummy.

Either Scoliosis or Kyphosis. Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine, primarily in the thoracic region. Kyphosis is the forward bending of the thoracic region, the "round back" deformity.
