A skeleton is a complex structure of bones. They work together with muscles‚ tendons and ligaments. All these components support the body and enable a large range of movements. The main body is supported by the spine which is made up of small bones stacked one on top of the other and separated by cushions known as inter-vertebral discs. These discs stop the bones from rubbing against each other and also act as shock absorbers. The skeleton forms the

Chicken Wing Dissection The chicken wing dissection was very helpful in understanding not only the muscular system but also the skeletal system. We looked at both the bone and the muscles of the chicken wing. We noticed many different things that we had been studying in class. In this dissection we studied structure and function of a chicken wing‚ which is comparable to that of the human arm. First‚ we removed the skin of the wing with the tools provided for us. We examined yellowish tissue clumped

There are 206 bones and about 700 named muscles of three different types: skeletal‚ cardiac and smooth muscles (Taylor). Musculoskeletal disorders consist of minor

calcium in our bodies is stored in the teeth and bones. Calcium generates about two percent of our total body weight. Calcium is crucial in bone formation‚ keeping strong bones and teeth and is known for helping to prevent osteoporosis. Although calcium is mostly thought about in the bones and teeth‚ it also plays important roles throughout the body. The amount of calcium outside the bones and teeth may be small in comparison to what is inside the bones and teeth‚ but is very useful in many functions

disease that weakens the bones and makes them more fragile and easier to fracture. If left untreated‚ Osteoporosis can progress painlessly until a bone breaks with little or no effort. With no symptoms‚ osteoporosis is sometimes a disease that is hardly noticed until a fracture occurs. Because of this‚ it is often referred to as the “Silent Disease”. Studies show that it is commonly found in women over the age of 50. This is because women lose a great amount of bone mineral density after menopause
