What does the femur bone do in the human bone?
It gives you a leg to stand on.
The femur runs from the hip to the knee. The bone is marked by a crease at the back called the linea aspera, where muscles controlling walking motions attach.
The condyle (bony knob) on the proximal (closer to the body's center) end of the femur is the thickest, most dense piece of bone in the body and serves as the means for fitting the leg into the pelvis. Because of its density, it is not uncommon for it to be the last remnant of body tissue remaining intact after the rest of a cadaver has long since turned to dust.
One could also say the femur serves as a target for large caliber handguns. The only efficient purposes for a 44 caliber handgun, a .357 Magnum or similar weapon are to: 1.) Kill a person 2.) Serves as a prop while threatening to kill someone, or 3.) Shatter a person's femur, immediately crippling him or her.

What does bones in the skeleton need to support the body?
Bones provide a frame for ones' body, protecting the body's inner organs. Bones also contain marrow, which produces blood cells, supporting the body's circulatory system. Muscles hold the body upright, contracting to move body parts (flexion and extension).
The Skull is a collection of Bones that provide protection for the Brain.

What is special about the first and second cervical vertebrae?
C1 or atlas: The Atlas is the topmost vertebra, and - along with C2 - forms the joint connecting the skull and spine. Its chief peculiarity is that it has no body, and this is due to the fact that the body of the atlas has fused with that of the next vertebra.
C2 or axis It forms the pivot upon which C1 rotates. The most distinctive characteristic of this bone is the strong odontoid process (dens) which rises perpendicularly from the upper surface of the body. The body is deeper in front than behind, and prolonged downward anteriorly so as to overlap the upper and front part of the third vertebra.
the brain stem is an important factor. damage or harm to first and second. (even to 1-7) dramatical harm can cause numerous neurological problems
How do the integumentary and skeletal systems work together?
Integument means covering such as skin. However one has ascertain if cell membranes, fascia, joint capsules, perimyseum [muscle covering] are also included in integuments. Muscles are usually skeltal [related to bones] muscles, thugh other muscles such as cardiac and smooth muscles also exist. Skeletal means related to bones.
What hormones stimulates proliferation of red blood cells in red bone marrow?
Erythropoietin, a hormone secreted by the kidney, stimulates the production of red blood cells. Almost all of the erythropoietin within the circulation is derived from the kidneys. Hypoxia is one of the main stimuli that induces erythropoietin secretion from the kidneys. In severe kidney disease, a decrease in erythropoietin production results in severe anemia.
How do you wrap a sprained foot?
My doctor told me you should always wrap from low to high (starting nearer to toes and working up toward the calf). The Figure 8 technique should also be used. Start on the top of the foot. Wrap around the sole and back to the top 2 times. Thenwhen at the top again, wrap around the back of the foot, the Achiles tendon going left to right. Then up over the top of the ankleand back down under the sole. Then up to the left side of the ankle and around the tendon again, arounf the top of the ankle again, under the sole, to the back and so on. till you are near the end of the bandage. Take it around the ankle one more time but this time wrap it around the lower shinbone two times. When overlapping the bandage do not overlap exactly over each layer. Overlap by about half the width.
How do the cardiovascular system and the skeletal muscular system interact?
The heart is made of cardiac muscle that allows it to beat and the blood vessels have smooth muscle in them that help them constrict or dilate.
And, the other way around, the circulatory system provides the fuel in the form of glucose and oxygen so that the muscles can do their work.
There is no such thing as "the mascular system".
