How do bones help detoxify the body?
Bones can remove heavy metals from the blood to protect vital organs from toxic buildup.
Which disease is characterized by reduced bone density, making bones fragile?

Name three bones found in the arm.
What are the Humerus, Radius, and Ulna?
What type of joint allows a complete range of motion?
What is Ball and socket joint (e.g., shoulder, hip) ?
Bone cells that build bones
What is osteoblasts?
The process of bone formation
What is ossification?
What’s a greenstick fracture?
What is a Partial break, common in children?
What is the purpose of a splint?
What is to stabilizing the bone and preventing further injury?
What are the three main parts of a synovial joint, and what is each part’s function?
