The skeletal system includes all the bones of the body plus the joints where they attach to each other our skeleton protects our internal organs provides a framework to stand upright, store minerals that our body needs to function properly and product blood cell. Without the protection of our skeletal system ever a little bump in can injure vital internal organs. The bones of the skeletal system are stronger than steel.
- The skeletal system
- 206 difference bone
- 4 basic shapes
- Long bones like femur
- Short bones like wrist, ankle
- Flat bones like skull, scapula
- Irregular bones like vertebrae
- There are two types of bone tissue compact
- Compact bones which is dense smooth and very strong
- Cancellous bones which is spongy and lightweight
- Both type of bones tissue contain a living cell that help make repairs if a bones injured or broken.
- The typical long bone has a main shaft called the dialysis
- The two ends call hosepipes cancerous bones
- The axial skeleton
- The skeletal system is divided into two divisions the axial skeleton is from the longitudinal axis of the body and appendicular skeleton which consists of bones that are appended to the axial skeleton the axial skeleton includes 80 bones skull vertebral column and thorax.
the two hips bones it protect the bladder reproductive organs lower colon and rectum. In the male the pubic arch of the pelvis is less than 90 degrees. - In the female greater that 90 degrees this difference in width necessary for the female pelvis to accommodate childbirth.
- The longest heaviest and strongest bone is the femur commonly called the thigh bone at one end it is the tibia or shinbone and fibula.
- The 23 bones and 33 joints that make up of foot and ankle enable.
- The entire skeletal system of a average adult weighs less than 10 kilograms
- If you attempted to replace this with a steel skeleton that was just a strong it would weigh 40 kg steel would not have the resilience of bone or ability to repair itself
