Skeletal System

The 'funny bone' is medically labelled as the 'humerus' (hence the word humour) - it's the bone in your arm from the elbow to the shoulder.

Cartilage can be found in a variety of places throughout the body including the articular surface of the bones, the rib cage, the ears, the nose, the bronchial tubes and the intervertebral discs.
Cartilage is located between bones to cushion and lubricate movement. It is also found at the ends of bones like the nose, and in other parts of the body where you need stiffening without bones, like in the ears. Many animals have an entire skeleton made of cartilage instead of bone, like sharks.

Fracture: compound fracture when the bone go out of the skin.

Dislocation: is not a fracture, the joint breaks and the bones separate.

Sprain: one of the ligaments of a joint rips.

They prevent a slight bit of "cushion" to the heart, but no real structural protection. The ribs/rib cage provide the bulk of the protection to the heart (and the lungs, for that matter).

Because the lungs are soft, they cannot stop any significant penetration to the body that might hit the heart, whereas the ribs can provide this function, to an extent.

More times than not, the lungs can actually cause issues for the heart due to a build up of blood or air.

Ligaments and tendons share some similarities. They are both ways in which the body ties two structures together. They are both made up of similar tissue (mostly collagen). Their main difference is in what they connect together. Ligaments typically hold two bones together. Examples include the glenohumeralligament, which holds together the upper arm bone (humerus) and the shoulder socket (glenoid), the patellarligament, which holds the kneecap (patella) to the shin bone (tibia), and the ligamentum flavum, a structure which holds the backs of the vertebrae together. Tendons, on the other hand, generally connect a muscle to a bone. Examples of tendons include the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscle or gastrocnemius to the heel, and the quadriceps tendon, which connects the front thigh muscles to the kneecap (patella).

US rapper Wish Bone (Charles Scruggs) is 42 years old (birthdate: February 21, 1975).

Experts can deduce what the person's diet was, whether they suffered any major injuries or illnesses in life. Anthropologists can further tell us what the relative station of a person might have been based upon the circumstances of their burial. The presence of clothing fragments or other personal possessions can also be used to create a theory concerning how a person lived.

The two Egyptian kingdoms, Upper and Lower Egypt, arose because the land near the First Cataract and the Nile Delta, respectively, was suitable for agriculture. They united around 3000 B.C.

There are many ways you can make your parents proud. You can achieve something, by either winning a race, painting a picture or even helping another person out. You can look well dressed, be polite to other people and family members, do what they ask and don't complain. Helping them out in times of need, if they were upset. Buy them small gifts every now and then.

The resilience of cartilage is primarily due to its unique composition of water, collagen, and proteoglycans. The high water content allows cartilage to absorb shock and distribute loads, while the collagen provides strength and structure. The proteoglycans help maintain the cartilage's integrity and flexibility.

No, the "funny bone" is not actually a bone, but a nerve, the ulnar nerve. It runs along the inside part of your elbow, not your knee. When you hit your elbow in a certain way, it can cause a tingling or funny sensation.

The patella is better known as the knee cap.

The size of a skull is not a reliable indicator of intelligence. Brain size in relation to body size, the complexity of brain structures, and neuronal connections are better predictors of cognitive abilities. Multiple factors contribute to intelligence, and skull size alone does not determine intelligence levels.

Yes, the clavicle articulates with the sternum at the sternoclavicular joint, forming the only direct connection between the axial skeleton and the pectoral girdle.

The phrase "twisted the end of the elbow bone off" likely refers to a dislocation of the elbow joint that may have resulted in the end of the bone shifting position or getting caught in an awkward manner. This usually requires realignment by a medical professional to restore proper function and alleviate pain.

Muscles cause bones to move when they contract. This contraction exerts force on the tendons, which in turn pull on the bones, resulting in movement at the joints. The interaction between muscles, tendons, and bones allows for various movements and activities.
