is the vertical, central section of the skeleton which includes the skull (cranium), the vertebral column and the rib cage. The axial skeleton is the supporting structure of the skeleton. It provides support and protection for the brain, the spinal cord and many of the organs within the human body. It also provides the body with a distinct shape. Below are the functions of the bones of the axial skeleton. Skull (Cranium): The skull has one main function and that is to provide support for the…

about how 200,000 years ago, changes in the human skull are evident.He says that human skulls begin to resemble. These changes include having a flexed bottom which is required to speak. To break sound up into very short bits, and to communicate effectively. That 's an important change. We know this from physical anthropology because without a flexed bottom of your skull, it 's very difficult to produce speech, but with a flexed bottom of your skull it 's very easy to choke. So that had to be a…

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…

Clinical Presentation of Paget's disease of bone Symptoms of Paget's disease Paget's disease often has no symptoms and many people don't know they have the condition. The most common symptom is bone pain, but may include joint pain and signs of a nerve being compressed or damaged. Bone pain Bone pain caused by Paget's disease has been described as a constant, dull pain deep within the affected part of the body. The pain is usually worse at night when the patients are lying down. The affected…

six bones, plus it is important because it protects our organs. It starts from your skull and it ends at your phalanges. It also helps to move around an support an individual. The skeletal system develops from having up to two hundred and seventy bones when an infant to having two hundred and six bones when an adult.(Zimmermann, 2015) Females and males tend to have different skeletal systems, since women give birth they need a flatter and larger pelvis so the baby has space to come out. Bones…

system is made up of 206 bones. It also includes cartilage, ligaments and tendons. The two main parts of the skeletal system are the axial skeleton with 80 bones and the appendicular skeleton with 126 bones. The primary purpose of the skeletal system is to provide the body with support, protection, movement, storage for minerals and lipids, and to produce red blood cells. The axial skeleton includes the skull, thoracic cage and vertebral column. The skull protects the brain, the…

attempting to preform even the easiest of tasks. Structure of skeletal system One vital section is the axial skeleton this is the component of the skeleton that consists of the bones of the head and trunk of a vertebrate. It’s made up of 80 bones and is composed of eight parts; the skull bones, the ossicles of the middle ear, the hyoid bone, the rib cage, sternum and the vertebral column therefore proving to me essential in the body as it is protecting the brain and the vital organs keeping us…

skeletal system. This system is mostly comprised of bones, but there are other critical elements included as well. These elements are ligaments and cartilage. The human skeletal system is divided into two parts; the axial and appendicular skeletons. The axial skeleton is further divided, from superior to inferior regions of the body, into the skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage. This part of the skeleton is necessary for life. The skull provides protection for the brain. The vertebral…
