Lab Four: Skeletal Tissues This week‚ we are examining tissues of the skeletal system. Specifically‚ we will investigate the process by which the long bone of the upper arm‚ the humerus‚ grows and lengthens in our patient‚ an 8-year old boy. Then‚ we will compare this process of growth with the process of healing and repair when this same patient sustains a distal end greenstick fracture of the humerus at his weekly gymnastics practice!

The skeletal system is made up of cartilage and bone. Both bone and cartilage are connective tissues‚ that is‚ they are composed of cells in a matrix with intracellular fibers. Just imagine connective tissue as a gelatin salad with grapes and coconut. The grapes would represent cells‚ the gelatin the support material for matrix‚ and the pieces of coconut the intracellular fibers. By changing the amounts of each ingredient and adding extra substances‚ we can produce a material that is very hard like

All of the joints in our bodies are surrounded by synovial fluid‚ a thick‚ clear liquid. When you stretch or bend your finger to pop the knuckle‚ you’re causing

There are eight cervical nerves (C1 being an exception with no dermatome)‚ twelve thoracic nerves‚ five lumbar nerves and five sacral nerves. Each of these nerves relays sensation (including pain) from a particular region of skin to the brain. Along the thorax and abdomen the dermatomes are like a stack of discs forming a human‚ each supplied by a different spinal nerve. Along the arms and the
