Skeletal System

Secondary ossification centers appear in the epiphyses.

the scapula

why bone is important

The smallest leg bone is the fibula, in the lower leg behind the tibia (shin bone).

Intramembranous bones are always flat bones. Parts of the skull, mandible and the maxilla are all considered to be intramembranous bones.

The full possible Range Of Motion in the spine from fully extended to fully flexed is 250o (140o extension and 110o flexion) - however the only way to get full 140o extension is flip over backwards so your stomach is facing upwards and your hands and feet are both on the floor (make sense?), however the lumber spine only accounts for 95o of this motion (35o extension and 60o extension). The full possible lateral ROM the spine is 75o each way, however the lumber spine only accounts 20o of this.

The pelvis is anatomically divided in to two part ...one upper broad part in which abdominal viscera lies form false pelvis... And lower well defined circular cavity which contains only pelvic visceras like uterua,urinary blader rectum is true pelvis

I'm pretty sure it is called the Atlas bone, right where the skull meets the neck.

In an adult head, the two bones are the cranium and the hinged jaw bone.

The ribs are connected to the sternum through the costochondral junctions, fibrous connections between the cartilagenous tails of the ribs and the bone of the sternum.

i pitched in baseball for a couple of years, and my shoulder does the same thing. On my right shoulder, the bone feels loose, but there is no pain.

yes there are bones in a belly

It hurts/tingles because you are hitting the end of your Humerus bone, where all the nerves are located. Did you know that its not really funny when you hurt your funny bone? its just cause its called a humerus. (:

yes, if we didn't have bones, we would be blobs of skin and other stuff! :p

It is called acetabulum. Acetabulum articulates with round head of femur bone.

There are 206 bones in the human skeleton. There are 80 bones in the axial skeleton, which is mainly comprised of the vertebral column (the spine), the skull, and the rib cage. There are 126 bones in the appendicular skeleton, which includes all movable limbs and supporting structures (girdles). These 206 bones are classified into 5 types:

1. Long bones- found in the arms and legs. Ex. the femur

2. Short bones- most common in wrists, such as the carpal bone, and ankles

3. Flat bones- flat, thin, and often protect vital organs Ex. parietal bone

4. Irregular bones- odd looking bones Ex. sphenoid bone

5. Sesamoid bones- unusual bones that are small, flat and wrapped within tendons that move over bony surfaces Ex. the patella

The bones that make the human mouth include the mandible, maxilla, and palatine. If you count the teeth as well, adults have 32.

intervertebral discs made of fibrous cartilage that act as shock absorbers and allow the back to move.

It is called osteogenic sarcoma and is typically found in males between 12 and 19 years old. It's an aggressive form of cancer and has a low survival rate.

it is also called a pelvis and it is a muscle, bone, and connective tissue structure that provides a foundation for the lower extremities, the legs and also supports a portion of the abdominal and pelvic cavities. The shape of the pelvis (among other adaptions) is also what supports bipedalism in humans.

It also helps to protect the bladder, the gonads (i.e., reproductive organs), and other visceral organs in the lower abdominopelvic region. It also serves at the base for the trunk of the body.

Just because of the joint at which the bones meet, it doesnt allow twisting directly.
