What is the medical term meaning like or resembling bone?
Myeloid means resembling bone marrow cells.
Do pivot joints hold bones firmly together?
Joints themselves are not really designed for keeping your bones stable, body joints are designed to aid in the movement of a specific limb or aiding with the movement of the body, for example, your knee joint is called a "hinge" joint, think about it this way, you knee is capable of flexion, (bent knee) and extension (straight knee) try it, straighten the leg, and bend the leg, that's pritty much the only movements that specific joint is capable of doing, like a "door hinge" open and closed! now what does keep the bones stable is actually the muscles that surround the joints and the bones. You have ligements and Tendons, and both work together as well as many other purposes, but do work together in order to keep your bones stable. Ligements are designed to attach muscle to muscle, so imagine muscles all around your knee joint, above it you have your quadriceps or front thigh muscle, below your knee joint you have your tibialis anterior or shin bone muscle, these attach to each other in various diffrent places, around the front and around the back, by the side and the other side, its like a criss cross of muscle all around the body, as also around the joints.
You also have what are called tendons, these are designed to attach muscle to bone, and are generally thicker and stronger then ligements, one you may be familiar with would possibly be your "herecules tendon" this is the muscle that attaches your gastrocnemius or calf muscle to the ball of your foot, and leaves that sticky out muscle on the back of either foot.
now with both your tendons,ligements and joints working together, they combine to make what can only be described as one of the most advanced and amazing structures in the world lol! but these all working in conjuction do help to keep your body more stable, and do help with movement or locomotion as its called and help to keep the body firm strong and standing, hope this helped!
What bone has the internal auditory meatus?
The temporal bones are situated at the sides and base of the skull, and lateral to the temporal lobes of the cerebrum.
The temporal bone supports that part of the face known as the temple and houses the structures of the organ of hearing. The lower seven cranial nerves and the major vessels to and from the brain traverse the temporal bone.
When your rib cage expands its inhaling?
Yes, this, in combination with the movement of the diaphragm (controlled by surrounding muscles) allows space for air to rush into the lungs. Thus, you breathe.
Can bones grow at different rate?
Yes, bones do change and grow. When every one is born they start off life as a baby and as we all know babies are tiny. In order for babies to grow in to children, teens and eventually in to adults their bones have to grow.
How many bones are there in adult human skull?
22 and all are held together by sutures except the one that moves the mandible your jaw.

Bones classified into four groups. Long bones,Short bones,Flat bones, and Irregular bones
What does the skeleton give to your body?
Skeletons aren't really for moving the body, that's more of the nervous system's job. Skeletons support bodies and give hem their shape- for example, pelvises serve in supporting pregnancy in females and animals that stand on two legs.
What happens to ribs when you breathe out?
When we breathe out, the muscles between the ribs move down and
inwards. The diaphragm moves upwards. The volume inside the chest decreases. This causes air to rush out of your lungs.
P.S. I copied that out of my science work sheet. LOL!
What are two functions of the bones and skeleton?
1-keeps the bones together
2-keeps away from headaches

What are the names of 3 tiny bones in the ear?
The bones in the middle ear are ossified. Their embryologic origin is from the branchial arches. The smallest bone is actually the stapes. The malleus attaches to the ear drum, then incus connects the malleus to the stapes which has a piston-like action on the oval window.
They are also known as the hammer, the anvil and the stirrup
4 Functions of Bones Support Your skeletal system protects and supports you. Your heart and lungs are shielded by your ribs, your spinal cord is protected by your vertebrae, and your brain is protected by your skull. Storage Bones store minerals such as calcium and release them into the surrounding tissues to help the nerves and muscles function properly. The cavities inside your arm and leg bones also store fat that can be used for energy. Movement Skeletal muscles, which are attached to the bones by tendons, pull on the bones to produce movement. Without bones, you would not be able to sit, stand, walk or run. Blood Cell Formation Red marrow found in spongy bone of the legs, arms, ribs, sternum (breastbone), and vertebrae (backbones) makes red & white blood cells.
How do you break your foot fast?
its unbelievably hard to do! trust me, i've tried. i suppose its actually a very ignorant thing to do but i suggest just relax and take deep breathes the grab the ankle you want to break, and twist it as hard and as fast as possible :) hope it helps!
What is a potential consequence when bone marrow stops functioning after chemotherapy?
well what happens is something bad that you don't want
when bone marrow stop functioning
usually the body structure stop working
such as been paralyzed can occur. bone marrow in your bones are very important because
they produce white and red blood cells
which helps fight many kinds of problems in the body system
well this is it about bone marrow
hope this helped you understand
What are the bones that are used for protection?
Here are the main bones that are used for protection:
- Skull- protects the brain
- Ribs- protects internal organs
- Spine- protects the spinal cord
Hope this helps! :)
Which muscle are located between the ribs and help move the rib cage during breathing?
Muscles of Respiration: The main muscles of respiration are the Diaphragm, which forms the partition of the chest from the abdomen, and the abdominal muscles.
Accessory muscles will also take part in helping with respiration during respiratory distress after severe exercise, respiratory obstruction, heart failure. The accessory muscles are, sternocleidomastoid, platysma, and the strap muscles of the neck.
How many bones support the skeletal system?
The skeletal system of the human adult body is made up of 206 bones. Oddly, though, the human is born with 270 bones in the body. This includes the bones of the scull that are not yet fused together.
What are several examples of long short flat and irregular bones?
A long bone is described as being longer than it is wide, The femur and the tibia are the load carriers and the best known long bones. They are responsible for providing structure, strength and mobility.
What type of joint joins the sternum and first rib?
These joints are called synchondrosis joints. These are a type of cartilaginous joint.
How does scoliosis affect the muscular and skeletal system?
if the spine is completely severed, the electrical signals sent from the brain through the nervous system cannot reach anything below the point where the sinal cord was severed
How do you keep your bones safe?
How do you take care of your skeletal sytem you ask?
well....
TO take care of your skeletal sytem all you have to do is excersiize move around and run/walk.
