Long Bones
The upper bone of the leg or hind leg. The head forms a ball-and-socket joint with the hip (at the acetabulum), held by a ligament (ligamentum teres femoris) within the socket and by strong surrounding ligaments.
femur
Made up of eight small bones called the carpal bones or the carpus. These irregularly shaped bones join your hand to the two long forearm bones: the radius and ulna.
Wrist
The bony framework of the thoracic cavity, and there are 12 pairs of these.
Ribs
The bones between the lower abdomen and upper thighs connect the spine to the legs.
Pelvis
What is the function of the skeletal system?
It gives your body its shape, allows movement, makes blood cells, provides protection for your organs and stores minerals
One of two bones that comprise the leg.[1] As the weight-bearing bone, it is significantly larger and stronger than its counterpart, the fibula.
tibia
The foot bone connects to the shinbone and calf bone.
Two irregularly shaped bones form part of the pelvic girdle – the bony structure that attaches the axial skeleton to the lower limbs.
Hip Bones
Within the spinal column it extends from the brainstem to the lower back through the vertebral foramen of the vertebrae.
Spinal Cord
What does your skeletal system include, that helps you stay supported and safe while you are moving or still?
Connective tissue.
A bone of the part of the hand or forefoot between the carpus and the phalanges that typically contains five more or less elongated bones when all the digits are present.
metacarpals
One of eight carpal bones that form part of the wrist joint
Hamate
Paired plates that form the bridge of the nose in the central part of the face.
Nasal Bones
In the midline of the neck anteriorly at the base of the mandible and posteriorly at the fourth cervical vertebra.
hyoid
A long bone is located in the upper arm, between the shoulder joint and elbow joint.
humerus
It is located laterally on the distal row of the tarsus and makes up the center of the lateral column of the foot. The bone is a cubical shape with prominence on the plantar surface.
cuboid
The long flat bone that forms the center front of the chest wall.
Stermun
Sites behind the ears and are the second largest lobe.
temporal
What are 2 of the main parts of the skeletal system?
Bones, Muscles, cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and joints.
One of the two forearm long bones that, in conjunction with the radius, make up the antebrachium.
ulna
A small bone in your ankle it's sometimes called the astragalus bone.
talus
A paired facial bone is located in the medial wall of the orbit. Its main function is to support the structures of the lacrimal apparatus, which secretes tears to lubricate the eyes and act as a site for orbicularis oculi muscle attachment.
Lacrimal
The bones that form the upper part of the jaw, the roof of the mouth, and parts of the eye socket and nose
maxilla
What else is the skeletal system called?
musculoskeletal system
