What could cause sharp pain in abdomen under rib cage on the left side tender to touch?
A pulled or bruised muscle or lack of oxygen to that area. {i.e running and taking short breaths}. Hope this helps But I would still get a doctors opinion on this. Feel better soon:)
What should you NOT do when you have a sprain?
you should not use the muscle that has been sprained, for instance if you have sprained your ankle, walking should be kept to a minimum amount.
Flexion, extension/hyperextension, trabsverse horizontal abduction, circumduction.
If you think about the movements that you can do at your shoulder, you can figure this question out yourself. When in the anatomical position, we can perform flexion and extension,the forward and backward (respectively) movements of our arm at the shoulder joint. There is also abduction and adduction, which is the movement of rising our arm out to our sides, away from our body (abduction) and towards our body (adduction). Finally, there is also medial rotation and lateral rotation of the shoulder joint, in which we rotate the head of humerus in the shoulder-joint cavity (glenoid cavity). You may hear the combined movements of flexion, extension, abduction and adduction referred to as circumduction.

If you mean, "What are the 2 sub-categories the skeletal system is usually broken into?" the answer would be 'the axial and appendicular' sub-systems.
However, on the other hand, with the accent on the word "groups", you might include the vertebrae of the spine as one large, united group , despite that the system comprises many bones. As such it connects and supports the upper and lower extremities. Its arrangement also permits considerable flexibility and movement through the mid-section of the body.
It also acts as a protection and a channel for the conduct of the body's large nerves, which nerves effect action throughout the body and receive sensation and feedback to be recorded and recognized by the brain.
Other of the very large bones include those of the legs: the femur of the upper leg and the tibia and fibula of the lower. They are joined by the patella [knee bone] at the middle of the arrangement. These bones allow the whole body to stand upright and support it from otherwise merely lying on the ground (as in the snake, for instance).
They also act as levers over which the large muscles of the body act and give us movement over the surface of the earth.
White cells (which fight disease) are also produced in the skeletal system, generally.
How do you find the radius of a circle with a circumferance of 70 inches?
divide the circumference by 3.14 to get the diameter - then divide that by 1/2 to get the radius
Radius = Circumference / 2 x pi from C = Diameter x pi
Can you break a bone in your foot that feels like a sprain?
Yes, it's possible to break a bone in your foot and think you have a sprain
What is the correct name of the structure that covers the ends of bones at the joint articulations?

Both are ball sockets.
Most of us would really like to think we know ourselves, but the truth is we don't! Every turn in our lives is one adventure after the other and we have absolutely no indication as to how we will react to any given situation, so, sometimes when we reject someone it's either because we feel they aren't old enough for us, too old, or we start picking away at their appearance. We may also be afraid of falling in love and consider that one is very unlucky in love. Remember the quote, "One duth protest too much" is usually an indication we are fighting against something we should let naturally fall into place. Perhaps this person has not been rejecting the other at all, but is treading cautiously because they have been hurt before. In time, trust can usually worm it's way in and that person that was doing all the rejecting is beginning to trust once again. Love is simply a gamble for all of us.

Throw them over your shoulder and run to the doctors
Childs long-bone growth plate made of hyaline cartilage?
this is a statement, even tho u ended it with a question mark
- This is a question from the "Anatomy & Physiology Coloring Workbook", Chapter 5, right?
If so, I think it's "A - 1" (Cartilaginous - Epiphyseal disk).
Which one bone or air conducts sound more loudly?
Air conduction is more efficient than bone conduction, although conduction through bone may be "heard" more loudly because it is a direct conduction into the middle ear and there is a component of "feeling" the sound with bone conduction.
