a compound fracture
this is the number of bones that are found in the human body!
206 :)
movement occurs when muscles....
contract!
one of the main purposes of the skeletal system is to give your body...
shape!

the humerus is an example of this type of bone...
long bone
bicep curls involve these TWO movements....

joints are connected to...
tendons!
a diagonal break across the bone is this type of fracture...
oblique
the largest bone in the body is the...
femur!
these type of joints make our thumbs opposable!
saddle joints!
muscles are attached to bones by...
tendons!

hematoma formation :)

bone, muscles, synovial, cartilage, and ligaments
greenstick!
What substances make bone so hard
