Human bones..
What is human skeleton?
A skeleton is the hard structure that protects the internal organs of a living thing. Skeletons can be inside the body or outside the body. All the bones, when they are joined together, make the "skeletal system" of a body.
The skeletal system includes all of the bones and joints in the body. Each bone is a complex living organ that is made up of many cells, protein fibers, and minerals. The skeleton acts as a scaffold by providing support and protection for the soft tissues that make up the rest of the body.
How many bones in skeleton system.
The human skeleton is the internal framework of the human body. It is composed of around 270 bones at birth-this total decreases to around 206 bones by adulthood after some bones get fused together.
What is bone?
A bone is a rigid organ that constitutes part of the vertebrate skeleton. Bones protect the various organs of the body, produce red and white blood cells, store minerals, provide structure and support for the body, and enable mobility.
What is the function of bones?
The most apparent functions of the skeletal system are the gross functions-those visible by observation. Simply by looking at a person, you can see how the bones support, facilitate movement, and protect the human body.
Five main function of skeleton system.
- supports the body.
- facilitates movement.
- protects internal organs.
- produces blood cells.
- stores and releases minerals and fat.
Where is bone found in human body?
Red marrow is found mainly in the flat bones such as hip bone, breast bone, skull, ribs, vertebrae and shoulder blades, and in the cancellous material at the proximal ends of the long bones femur and humerus.
Made up of?
The bones are made up of collagen. Collagen is a protein that provides a soft framework, and calcium phosphate is a mineral that adds strength and hardens the framework. This combination of collagen and calcium makes bone strong and flexible enough to withstand stress.
Why bones weaken with age?
As you age, your body may reabsorb calcium and phosphate from your bones instead of keeping these minerals in your bones. This makes your bones weaker. When this process reaches a certain stage, it is called osteoporosis. Many times, a person will fracture a bone before they even know they have bone loss.
