Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The skeletal system of an animal works as a body framework that makes the muscles work to move body organ or the entire body. In vertebrates, these muscles are attached to the bones of the skeleton and are connected by the joints. These joints allow bones to make movement.

The carpal bones are a set of eight bones that make up the human wrist. These bones are part of which division of the skeleton? A. Compact skeleton B. Axial skeleton C. Subchondral skeleton D. Appendicular skeleton
Which of the following is not a reason we become shorter as we age?
a.As a person ages, the intervertebral discs become thinner and the vertebrae will be stacked closer together, resulting in shorter stature.
b.As a person ages, vertebral bodies lose bone mass (osteoporosis) resulting in smaller vertebrae that stack closer together.
c.As a person ages, scoliosis may develop resulting in an abnormal spinal curvature and shorter stature.
d.As a person ages, the ligaments connecting vertebrae together are weakened, resulting in a more pronounced kyphosis. This posterior curvature of the spine lowers the skull, making you shorter.
What are the possible causes of differences in the bone structure of the vertebral columns in birds and humans? Make a list of two reasons.

- Write any five functions of Skeleton system in human body and explain briefly each one of them?arrow_forwardBelow you will find two concept maps. A concept map is a diagram that helps us to build relationships, in this case, between structures of the human body. There are two concept maps, one for the pectoral girdle and upper limb, and a second for the pelvic girdle and the lower limb. For each number on the concept map, provide the bone that is found in that location within the limb. Use the anatomical direction "compass" as a guide. For each letter on the concept map, provide the articulation that is formed at that location. For each articulation: What structural features of the bones involved articulate, or come into contact? Be specific. Provide all of the structures that stabilize that articulation. The appendicular skeleton allows the human body to be mobile and dexterous. There are 63 total bones in the appendicular skeleton, many of which form complex articulations.arrow_forwardIn the ligaments and Joints of the Head of the dog, what components of a diarthrodial joint did you observe in the temporomandibular joint?arrow_forward
