Axial and Appendicular Skeleton
The axial skeleton is the central part of the skeleton. The skull, spine, ribs and breastbone make the axial skeleton up.
The appendicular skeleton consists of the remaining bones. These are 'attached' to the axial skeleton.

Cervical
[IMAGE] This is the top seven vertebrae from the neck downwards. The top two bones are the atlas and axis. They let us to shake and nod out head. All the other vertebrae also help with movement of the neck and head, such as bending and twisting.
Thoracic
This is made up of twelve vertebrae and are level with the chest and connect with the ribs. This allows a slight bit of movement.
Lumbar ======

Coccyx ======
This is the base of the spine which consists of four vertebrae directly fused together. Groin muscles are joined here.

[IMAGE]Cartilage
This is the connective tissue, which is found in a variety of forms around the human body. Our entire skeleton is made up of cartilage when we are born. As we grow older cartilage is gradually replaced my bone. This is known as ossification. In long bones, the cartilage in the shaft is the first area to be converted into bone, followed by the head.
There are three types of cartilage in the human body:
1. Yellow Elastic Cartilage is very flexible and it provides shape for the ear lobe and the tip of the nose.
2. White Fibro cartilage is tougher but less elastic and it acts as a shock absorber. It is found between the vertebrae of the spine and also in the knee to prevent bones from jarring.
3. Blue Articular Cartilage is found at joints and covering the ends f bones, it has a slippery surface and prevents bone from wearing. Snovial fluid is also
“This is my lab and what we do is study bones,” states Kari Bruwelheide in her video entitled “30,000 Skeletons”. Of the three resources that we were provided, “Puzzles of the Chesapeake” by Sally Walker, “Forensic Anthropology” by an unknown author, and “30,000 Skeletons” by Smithsonian Education presented by Kari Bruwelheide, the resource “30,000 Skeletons” is by far the best at explaining the role of an anthropologist. It is unbeatable because it is a video rather than just written words, and Kari Bruwelheide has personal experience in being a forensic anthropologist. A forensic anthropologist is a scientist that studies human remains, or in another word, skeletons, to try to find out information about the past.
“The Lovely Bones” is a book written by Alice Sebold. It was published in 2002, and it’s about Susie Salmon, a girl that was murdered and no watches her family and murderer from her own heaven. She tries to balance her feeling and watch out for her family since her murderer is still free and with nobody knowing how dangerous he is. In 2009, a movie adapted from the book came out as well.
Imagine a teenage boy who is isolated on a faraway island, without food or water. The hot and sticky weather is intolerable, but the rampaging storms are worse. He quickly develops malaria and diarrhea, and on top of that, blood-sucking insects and menacing reptiles lurch beneath his feet. He has no idea what is coming, but he needs to survive. This is the story of a young boy who has to travel to the other side of the world to realize that everything can’t go his way.
The play of "Extremities" was written by William Mastrosimone and is a very direct short piece. The play itself only has two acts; witch in theory is very simple. The first act is mainly the rising action of the play and then the climax is hit by the end of it. As act two begins the rising action of the show takes over and as always helps us to reach the main super objective of the show.
This week’s reading was about Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston’s, “A Mule Bone”. This play expresses many conflicts that go on in small as well as large communities. The setting of this play however is in Eaton, Florida is the community in which Hurston is from. It describes the many conflicts that people have with certain relationships or religions.
The remarkable strength of the bones in this system provides protection for the vulnerable organs in the body.
They also differ in the types of bones that make up their individual skeletons. Axial skeleton consists of bones from the skull, vertebral column, ribs and sternum and the appendicular skeleton consists of bones from the limbs, pelvis girdle, and pectoral girdle. The skeletal system is crucial for the human body to continue functioning and maintaining homeostasis.
The skeletal system helps with endocrine regulation, protection, support, movement, calcium storage, and blood cell production. The skeletal system consists of 206 bones, in the adult human body, all of which are divided into two major divisions. One division, the axial skeleton made up from 80 bones, runs along the body’s midline and the other division, the appendicular skeleton which has 126 bones.
1. Skeletons on the Zahara is a nonfiction book written by Dean King. It is based on Captain Riley’s memoir. The book talks about the true survival of Captain James Riley and his crew on their journey to Africa. After the war of 1812 and 1815 in America, Captain James Riley and his crew of twelve left and sailed down the Connecticut river, Riley’s family did no longer have a home, so this voyage would help them restore their fortune. After they sailed out of the Connecticut river, they went down to new Orleans and picked up a cargo of flower and Tobacco, then sailed across the Atlantic down to Gibraltar were they traded the flower and tobacco for wine and Spanish coins, they then sailed down the coast of Africa and were going to go to the Cape
The skeletal system is made of all the bones, connective tissues and joints in the body. Bones, cartilage are some of the bones that make up the Skeletal system. The Skeletal system helps perform important everyday functions, for example; support, movement and protection, etc. The skeletal system helps form blood cells. The skeletal system helps store calcium and phosphorus, which is important and beneficial to the other functions in the body.
During the early 1900’s, William Sutherland, became fascinated with the design of the human skull. He believed that the bones in the cranium move in relation to each other. Through self-experiment, he was able to feel a certain rhythmic motion of the cerebrospinal fluid, which he called the craniosacral rhythm. (1) Based off of Sutherland’s work, John Upledger, an osteopathic physician, studied the craniosacral rhythm in depth. During 1975-1983, he continued to s...
The fibula is a leg bone located on the lateral side of the tibia, with which it is connected above and below. It is the smaller of the two bones, and the slenderest of all the long bones, and plays a significant role in stabilizing the ankle and supporting the muscles of the lower leg. The fibula is the smaller, non-weight bearing, of the two bones in the lower leg, while the tibia is the larger, weight bearing bone. The fibula and tibia moves very little relative to each other and the joints that it forms contribute significantly to the function of the lower leg. The joint it forms permit the fibula to adjust its position relative to the tibia, increasing the range of motion of the ankle. Fibular fractures are not often a severe injury, because the bone is supports only about 17% of the body weight.

Twenty-eight bones make up the skull. Eight of these bones are interlocking plates. These plates form the cranium.
There is two divisions of the bones, the axial skeleton and the appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton consists of 80 bones which include the skull, vertebral column, ribs and sternum. The skull considts of 22 bones. The cranium which cover the brain are made up of 8 bones and the facial is made up of 14 bones.
