Skeleton

Briefly identify and discuss bones of the appendicular and axial skeletons. • The axial skeleton consists of the following bones. The skull is made of: • There are 2 parietal bones that form the superior and lateral parts of the skull. • There are 2 temporal bones that form the inferolateral parts of the skull. • The frontal bone forms what we know as the forehead (Cancer 2016). • The occipital bone is posterior making up most of the base of the skull. • The ethmoid bone forms the anterior…

the other specialists called in on cases with remains, forensic anthropologists use the bones to look to the bio cultural context including the significance and the patterns present in the location of the find as well as the elements present on the skeleton (Sauer 1992:…

Paget’s disease of bone is a rather uncommon condition that effects less that 1% of the population of the United States, often presenting with no symptoms or discomfort what so ever. It isn’t known what specifically causes this disease, but it is speculated that heredity plays a big part. Paget’s disease of bone is typically pretty manageable when symptoms do present themselves with a variety of pharmaceutical remedies. Paget’s Disease of Bone Paget’s disease of bone is basically…

to construct larger and sturdier bones. Adults have two hundred and six bones in the body; On the other hand, babies are born with approximately three hundred bones. The axial skeleton consists of eighty bones, which are part of the skull, hyoid bone, vertebral column and thoracic cage. Additionally, the appendicular skeleton consists of one hundred and twenty six bones that are part of the pectoral girdle, pelvic girdle, upper and lower limbs. Bones are connected to joints, ligaments, tendons…

death. When someone dies they call a forensic Anthropology to finger out why this is person dead. When skeletonized remains are discovered, the first step to determine whether the bones is human remains. If so, the sex, race, age, stature, of the skeleton in order to established the identification of the remains, determine manner and cause of death and, if homicide, forensics can identify the murderer. According to forensic medicine “Forensic anthropologists are "bone detectives" who help police…

The three forms of skeletons in the animal kingdom are: hydrostatic skeletons, exoskeletons, and endoskeletons. Hydrostatic skeletons are found in cnidarians, worms, and many mollusks. It consists of a fluid filled sac in which the fluid is good support, however, it is formless. Animals with hydrostatic skeletons have two sets of antagonistic muscles (muscles that work in opposition to each other). These muscles are longitudinal muscles and circular muscles, which both help the animal maintain…

Anatomy & Physiology Anatomy is the study of the structure and relationship between body parts. Physiology is the study of the function of body parts and the body as a whole. Aims and Objectives  The composition of bone  The structure of a long bone  Classifying the types of joint found in the body  Description of synovial joint  How joint operates  How two different systems communicate for normal functioning of a joint  Description of a disease involving the musculoskeletal system …

Figure 2.3: The structure of bone (Abedon, 2014) 2.1.2 Mechanical Properties Bones is always considered as man-made engineering materials. Due to its synthesis there have more variation in properties than engineering materials. The factors can include as the location in body, mineral content, disease, age, gender and the amount of water that presence in the human body. The mechanical properties of bone tissues must be considered as very hard and lightweight material. Mechanical behavior of…

Analyze the bone remodeling process and the minerals involved in that process. Distinguish among the twelve common bone markings and provide examples of in which bones and locations those markings are found. Condyle- it is a large rounded prominence fitting into a fossa. This type of bone marking is a process that forms joints forming i.e. the medial condyle of the femur (Mid Lands Tech, 2016). Crest- it is slightly risen with protruded ridges. This type of bone marking is a process to attach…

The skeletal system has several functions. These functions include supporting the body, protecting the vital organs, providing a point of attachment for skeletal muscles, giving the body shape, and aiding in the formation of red blood cells, white blood cells, and white blood cells, and platelet. In addition, the bones of the skeletal system also store the body’s main supply of calcium. Osteoporosis is a condition that causes the bones to weaken and become fragile due to a lack of calcium in the…
