The Human Skeleton Book Report

The musculoskeletal system is a made up of the muscular system and the skeletal system. The skeletal system provides the internal framework for the body, it protects the organs by enclosing it and anchors skeletal muscles so that the muscles can contract thus causing movement. The skeleton is divided into two divisions: the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton (Taylor & Cohen, 2013, p. 94). The Axial skeleton are the bones that have formed the longitudinal axis of the body which is made up of the skull, the vertebral column and the thoracic cage (Taylor & Cohen, 2013, p. 98). The Appendicular skeleton are the bones of limbs and griddles that are attached to the axial skeleton (Taylor & Cohen, 2013, p. 103).

The skull is the bony protective encasement of the brain and the organs of hearing and equilibrium. The skull consists of twenty-two bones which are broken down into two set of bones which are the cranial and facial bones. The cranial or cranium bone are bones protect the brain and is an attachment site for the head and neck muscles. The cranial bones consist of eight bones which are one ethmoid bone, one frontal bone, one occipital bone, two parietal bones, one sphenoid bone, and two temporal bones. The facial bone is a bone that forms the structure of the face, has special sense organs for sight, taste, and smell, provides an opening for air and food passage, secures teeth, and is an anchor for facial muscles expression for our feelings. The facial bone consists of fourteen

The skeletal system has 6 main functions and makes up 18% of the overall weight of the human body. (Tortora and Derrickson, 2011)

The axial skeleton is part of the skeleton that has bones from the head and the trunk which are found in the vertebrate, it forms the main axis or core of your skeletal system. It has 80 bones and is split into eight parts; the skull bones, the ossicles of the middle ear, the hyoid bone, the rib cage, sternum and the vertebral column. Ity kepps the heart and the lungs safe from any damge that the body might experience. It is also the portion of

The skeletal system works as the frame of the body and it is made up of two hundred and six various bones. The Sections used in the movements of the skeletal system are; the bones, Joints, ligaments and tendons. This system is also divided into two sections known as the Axial and Appendicular skeleton.

The skeleton is the framework of bones, it structures the body, support to the body and protects the internal organs of the body. It also allows the muscles to move freely during the mechanism of locomotion.

The human body is made up of various bones; in total a person can have up to 206 bones ones the person has reached the adulthood. The skeleton is made up of two different groups which are the axial and appendicular skeleton. Both contain different bones in the body. The axial protects other parts of the body and appendicular skeleton helps the body with motion. Bones can come in different sizes and shapes. Along there are some bones called long bones, some short bones, others are flat bones and last there are what people call the irregular bones. The long bones contain two ends and they are considered longer then wider in cases. The short bones are shaped similar to square shapes but not exactly some bones examples can be the

Another important bone of the head and neck is the hyoid bone. The hyoid is closely associated with the skull but is a “floating bone” that does not form a joint with any other bone. It anchors muscles of the tongue and throat and holds open the larynx of the respiratory tract. The auditory ossicles (malleus, incus, and stapes) of each ear are also bones in the

We have 206 bones if we combine all of the bones in our body is called a skeleton it can be found in living thing but not in trees beocus trees don't have bones or we can call it skeleton. 70 '/. Of the bones are not living. When you are first born you only have red marrow when you get older you will have yellow marrow so you will have red marrow and yellow marrow the red marrow is in side of the bone but the yellow marrow is out side of the bone. The bone in the head is called the

The bones, in the body, can be divided between two major regions of the skeleton: the appendicular skeleton consists of the arms, pectoral girdles, legs, and pelvic girdle and the axial skeleton consists of the skull, rib cage and the vertebral column. The femur, phalanges and the humerus are all examples of long bones. Long bones are vital for mobility. For stability and support we have short bones. These are boxy in shape and carpels and tarsals are examples of these. The scapula, ribs and sternum are flat bones. These are thin and broad in shape but not necessarily flat. These bones provide an extensive surface for muscle attachment and for protection. The vertebrae and sphenoid bone are types of irregular bones, they have Irregular bones

The structures that make up the articulatory system include: the oral cavity, the skull, the face and mandible, the nasal cavity, and the pharyngeal cavity. Of all the structures that make up the articulatory system the bones that make up the skull, the facial and cranial bones, contain bones that confuse me. The facial bones include the mandible, the vomer, the maxilla, the nasal bone, the palatine bone, the lacrimal bone, the zygomatic bone, and the inferior nasal concha. The cranial bones include the ethmoid bone, the sphenoid bone, the frontal bone, the occipital bone, the temporal bone, and the parietal bone. The cranial and facial bones that confuse me the most are the palatine bone and the ethmoid bone. The various positions in which

The axial skeleton is the part of the skeleton that consists of the bones of the top and the bottom of the vertebrae. In the human skeleton, it consists of 80 bones and is made up of six parts. It is the main area of support and protection for the body and which makes the main core of the skeletal system.

The healthy adult has 206 bones and a lot of tendons. They are connected by the ligaments and cartilage. These bones support the movement and protection of blood cells, calcium storage and endocrine regulation. This enables us to survive.

The appendicular skeleton consists of 126 bones containing the appendage bones, the pectoral and pelvic girdles. It is responsible for the ability of movements and the protection of the major organs in the human body.

Have you ever thought about how humans would be without bones? They would not be able to function the way that they do now if it did not have bones. The skeletal system is a highly important system in the human body, it functions as support, protection, and creation of red blood cells. This system is composed of bones and joints, an average adult contains 206 bone and an average child contains 270 bones because as a person grows the bones fuse together to create a single bone. The skeletal system is divided in to two major category: the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton has 80 bones in the midline axis which contains the bones of the head and the trunk; while the appendicular axis has 126 bones which include the bones from the limbs, pectoral and pelvic regions. There are only a few select bones that are mainly affected by the Paget disease these include the pelvis and the tibia which belong to the appendicular axis; however, other bones that could be affected are the femur, spine, skull, clavicle, and fibula.
