Skeletal System

In an adult body, there are 206 bones.

In the skeletal system, the carpals refer to carpal bones, otherwise known as the wrist bones. In total, there are eight bones that form to create the wrist.

I don't know, but I have the same thing. Mine is a fixed lump with no underlying bone damage. The surgeon wasn't sure what it was because mine was hard and fixed while a bump on the temporal bone is usually movable and not so firm...usually an oil deposit. She said as long as it does not grow, she sees no reason to have it removed. You should check with a doctor though.

The "fibia" is not a bone. There are 2 bones that make up the lower leg, the tibia and fibula. The fibula is not a weight bearing bone and doctors usually dont do anything about it. The fibula is weight bearing, and depending on age, it usually heals in about 6 weeks. But that doesnt mean that it doesnt still hurt. If the patient is geriatric age, their bones take longer to heal.

There are several different types of biopsies.A needle (percutaneous) biopsy removes tissue using a hollow tube called a syringe. A needle is passed through the syringe into the area being examined. The surgeon uses the needle to remove the tissue sample. Needle biopsies are often done using x-rays (usually CT scan), which guide the surgeon to the appropriate area. An open biopsy is a surgery that uses general anesthesia. This means you are asleep and pain-free during the procedure. The procedure is done in a hospital operating room. A surgeon makes a cut into the affected area, and the tissue is removed. Closed biopsy uses a much smaller surgical cut than open biopsy. A small cut is made so that a camera-like instrument can be inserted. This instrument helps guide the surgeon to the appropriate place to take the sample. A biopsy are most often done to examine tissue for disease. A biopsy may also be done to match organ tissue before a transplant.

Napier's Bones are an old name for the slide rule, a mechanical method of rapidly doing mathematical operations using logarithms expressed as a divided line.

Lingual tonsil

This is because thyroid gland has a true capsule and false capsule (pretracheal fascia). The false capsule is attached to thyroid cartillage, hence glands moves up with swallowing.

Collagen makes up the matrix of bones

The spinal cord carries all the nervous impulses from/to the brain to/from the body below the neck. This means that any damage to the cord can have very serious consequences, which vary depending on the level at which damage occurs: for example, a lesion in the lower, sacral, portion may cause paralysis in the legs, whilst a higher cervical lesion can be fatal.

The vertebrae protect the spinal cord from mechanical injury by providing a 'shell' through which it travels; they maintain a straight line so that the cord cannot be bent or twisted; and they provide points of attachment for some muscles to allow certain movements. Having separate vertebrae means that some movement is possible, eg. bending over, but provides enough restriction to prevent damage.

its the heart and its enviroment
The pectoral girdle, which functions to attach the upper limbs to the body, serves as a point of origin for many muscles that move the upper limb (humerus), neck and trunk. The pectoral girdle is composed of the clavicle (collar bone) and scapula (shoulder blade).

Joints are where two bones meet. They make the skeleton flexible - without them, movement would be impossible. Muscles are also necessary for movement; They're the masses of tough, elastic tissue that pull our bone when we move

Located in the right and left hypochondriac region.

A bulging disc is a condition that occurs when there is a tear in the outer ring of one of your intervertebral discs, causing the soft portion to bulge out and out of place. If you have a bulging disc, you should definitely get it checked out asap in case it gets worse. If you start feeling pain from bulging discs, I would suggest trying to use some natural methods to relieve the pain - I found some great methods that helped with my back pain - see related links.

hahahahha

You are probably referring to the popularly known hormone estrogen which has a function in the absorption of calcium. However, the process is complex and involves a number of lesser known hormones such as calcitonine and PTH, and also vitamins D and K.

There are several reasons for chest pain when you cough. One is that you have over-taxed your rib muscles and they are sore or even sprained. You might also have a more serious infection like bronchitis or even pneumonia. You should see a doctor to be sure which of these it is.

Osseous tissue, or bone tissue is the major structural and supportive connective tissue of the body. Osseous tissue forms the rigid part of the bone organs

Your backbone protects your spinal chord, which allows for most of the exchange of information from the nervous system to the brain or vice versa. If you did not have a backbone, your spinal chord would be easily damaged which, if damaged in the right spot, could cause full-body paralysis.

In the centre cavities of all the bones in your body. (There's a lot in your legs, since the bones are quite big and have a large cavity).

the bone marrow is located inside the bone

in da middle of the bone. It is spongy. it is red when your a child, and turns yellow when your an adult.

Bone marrow is the spongy tissue in the cavities of the bones. It is the blood cell 'factory'. Healthy bone marrow releases blood cells into the blood stream when they are mature and when required.
