Skeletal System

This cancer type is called myeloma.

Muscles help protect organs by providing a layer of support and cushioning around them. In the case of skeletal muscles, they also help stabilize the body to prevent damage to internal organs during physical activities or impact. Additionally, muscle contractions can also assist in moving substances through organs, such as peristalsis in the digestive tract.

The mandible is the lower jawbone in the human skull and is the largest and strongest bone in the face. It plays a crucial role in activities like chewing, speaking, and facial expressions. The mandible houses the lower teeth and hinges with the temporal bone to facilitate jaw movement.

Yes, most people have 24 ribs (12 on each side), it doesnt matter what race or sex they are.

The only exceptions are genetic abnormalities that a small number of people are born with. One example of a variation is that some people have cervical ribs on one or both sides of their C7 vertebra, giving them 25 or 26 ribs in total.

Patella. Why was this question asked so many times?

Femur, tibia and fibula, tarsals, metatarsals and phalanges

there are two, the radius and the ulna in the forearm.

The main cause of hypoplastic ribs is when one of the ribs does not fully develop. If more than one rib is not developed fully it becomes Thoracic insufficiency Syndrome. This syndrome can gravely effect the lungs.

The axial skeleton is made up of your skull, vertebral column, rib cage, sacrum and coccyx. The appendicular skeleton is made up of all the bones in your arms and legs as well as your shoulder blade, collarbone, and hip bones (pelvic girdle).

The "funny bone" is not actually a bone but a nerve called the ulnar nerve. When you hit your funny bone, you are actually hitting the nerve which runs along the inner part of your elbow. The term "funny bone" likely comes from the tingling or funny sensation you feel when you hit it.

The hip bone is called the pelvis and the collar bone is called the clavicle.

Intramembranous ossification [flat bones] & endochondral ossification [long bones].The essential between them is the presence or absence of cartilaginous phase.Intramembranous ossification occurs when mesenchymal precursor cells proliferate & subsequently differentiate directly into osteoblasts w/c mineralize an immature bone tissue called woven bone,characterize by irregular bundles of randomly oriented collagen fibers & an abundance of partially calcified immature new bone called asteoid.At later stages this woven bone is progressively remodeled to mature,lamellar bone.

Endochondral ossification entails the conversion of a cartilaginous template into bone.Mesenchymal cells condense & differentiate into chondrocytes w/c secrete the cartilaginous matrix.This embryonic cartilage is avascular,& during its early development,a ring of woven bone is formed by intramembranous ossification in the future mid shaft area.This calcified woven bone is then invaded by vascular tissue,& osteoclasts & osteoblasts are recruited to replace the cartilage scaffold w/ bone matrix & excavate the hematopoietic bone marrow cavity.

One of the most important functions of the radius is anchoring the muscles of the upper arm and the forearm. It is found on the thumb side of the forearm and rotates to allow the hand to pivot at the wrist.

The living bone cells are osteocytes, osteoblasts, and osteoclasts. Osteocytes are mature bone cells that maintain bone tissue, osteoblasts are responsible for building new bone, and osteoclasts break down and resorb bone tissue.

Yes you can have an extra bone in your wrist I have one, when I was in school when I started feeling the pain and my wrist was HUGH!!! Went to the drs they werent sure what is was they did x-ray thinking I broke it, I had to go see another drs and they did cats scans and mri's like crazy and finally the drs told me I had an extra bone and they can remove it but more likey it would just come back so I just live with it doesnt bother me to much rain is bad. I cant turn it it doesnt bend they called is Madalyn sorry not really sure how to spell it. Drs but me in the medical book because its VERY rare, He said I was lucky one some had it in the knees and had to be but in wheel chairs very sad I just have it in my right wrist

The cells that produce the collagen and inorganic salts of bone matrix are osteocytes. Osteocytes maintain the protein and mineral content of the bone matrix. Osteogenesis is the production of new bone matrix.

According to my research and my years of experience they never stop growing.

In a normal human being, all significant growth ends when puberty stops. However, the age when puberty ends varies from individual to individual, and can be as early as 13 or as late as the mid-20s.

Additionally, certain medical hormonal treatments can cause breast growth at other ages.

We have a total of 20 ribs, ten being on each side.

Clavicle.

The bones that form the palm of the hand are known as the metacarpal bones. There are five metacarpal bones in each hand, labeled numerically from the thumb side (lateral) to the little finger side (medial) as 1 to 5. These bones make up the structure of the palm and provide the framework for finger movement and dexterity.

The three major bones that make up the knee joint are the femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone), and patella (kneecap). These bones work together with ligaments, muscles, and cartilage to provide stability and facilitate movement in the knee joint.

it makes your bone grow good and strong!

A bone scan is a nuclear scanning test that can identify areas of increased bone growth or turnover. It involves injecting a small amount of radioactive substance into the bloodstream, which is then absorbed by the bones and detected by a special camera to produce images of the skeleton.

The thigh bone is also known as the femur.
