What does the skeletal system need to function?
547946
The skeletal system consists of about 206 bones, 26 of which are in each hand and foot, in order for the skeletal system to function and move it requires muscles to contract. Muscles can't push only pull. The muscles that contract and cause the arm or leg to lift are called flexors, the ones that cause it to extend are called extensors. there are five different types of joints, pivot, ball and socket, hinge, gliding, saddle. and a sixth one is called condyloid. the ball and socket joints are found on the shoulder and the hip and provide the body with all types of movement. the saddle joints are only on the base of the thumb. the hinge joint is found in the hip and the elbow. the gliding is found in the ankle. the pivot in only at the top of the neck. the condyloid is found at the base of the palm. fixed joints are ones that are immovable. such as on the cranium. your axial skeleton consists of your cranium,ribs and spine. the appendicular is everything else.\n\nThe skeletal system is the only thing keeping us from being a mass of flesh and muscle. It provides protection and support for our bodies. The bones also contain bone marrow which produces red blood cells. there are two types of bone. the soft inner layer called the spongy bone and the hard compact bone on the outside. hervasian canals in the bones are the ducts for blood vessels and ateries. Osteocytes are trapped bone cells inside the bones. along with the bones there are softer parts of your body that are made of cartilage. Such as your ears and parts of your ribs. the names of the bones are the cranium, spine, coccyx, ribs, humerous, radius and ulna, tibia and fibula, phalanges, tarsals, metatarsals, carpals, and metacarpals, phemur, pelvis, pubis, and the mandible and maxila. the phalanges are in the fingers and toes. the carpals are in the hand along with metacarpals and the tarsals and metatarsals are in the foot. the tibia and fibula are the shin and the radius and ulna make up the forearm. all of these make up the skeletal system and muscular.

The bone has five main functions:\n\n1. Support \nThat's about everything just covered above \n2. Protection \nThey keep organs away from damage, such as the rib cage and the skull. \n3. Movement \nThat's covered above, also. \n4. Storage \nThe bone stores fat and some minerals. \n5. Blood cell formation \nThe bone is the place that most of your blood components are made.

Hi there,\n\nA typical human skeleton has 206 bones.\n\nAn infant has these bones in addition to them-\n\n1 sacral vertebrae (4 or 5), which fuse in adults toform   the sacrum \n\n2 coccygeal vertebrae (3 to 5), which fuse in adults to form the coccyx \n\n3 ilium, ischium and pubis, which fuse in adults to form the pelvic girdle \n\nHope this helped. If not, please let me know. I'll be glad to provide any further assistance.\n\n\nrule wid style n luv@vinny

The pituitary gland (which is part of the endocrine system) secretes HGH {human growth hormone} which promotes bone growth.This is how the endocrine system works with the skeletal system.

The frog skeletal system is divided into two regions the axial skeletal system and the appendicular system.\n\nThe axial skeleton consists of the skull, vertebral column, and sternum.\n\nThe appendicular system consists of the pectoral girdle, forelimbs, the pelvic girdle, and the hind limbs.\n\n1. Skull: 33 \n2. Middle ear: 2 \n3. Hyoid: 1 \n4. Vertebrae: 9 \n5. Urostyle: 1 \n6. Sternum: 1 \n7. Ribs: None 24\n8. Pectoral Girdle: 8 \n9. Forelimbs: 46 \n10. Pelvic Girdle: 6 \n11. Hind limbs: 52 \n12. Total Bones: 159

Actually, cartilage itself is a type of framework connective tissue.  It serves as a framework for parts that need to be flexible, such as ears.  It also serves as an excellent embryonic skeleton because cartilage can be replaced by bone through cartilage replacement ossification. Ligaments connect bones to bones, not cartilage, and synovial fluid keeps joints from grinding against one another

Humans rely on each other to provide basic needs: food, clothing, shelter, companionship.\nHumans rely on their environment to provide those basic needs.  We need sunlight for warmth.  Water to drink and wash with.  Animals to provide food and clothing.  Plants to provide shelter and food.\n\nGood enough?

Are you asking which is the most vital organ in the body that the skeletal system protects?\n\nI would have to say the brain. Brain damage is immediate death while most any other organ can be "helped" using various techniques and machines until the problem is fixed \n\nIf your question is something totally different I apologize

It depends on the break, but in order to effectively stabilize a bone you generally have to stabilize the joint above and below the break.

Muscles are the means by which you can move bones and are usually connected across 2 bones. The parts of your body with a high number of bones are also going to have a high number of individual muscles. Depending on the way you seperate body parts, I'd go with hands or feet as having the most number of muscles.

to provide the structure for the muscles and to provide marrow for the production of blood cells.

First, the bones are the structural support for muscles, nerves, blood and lymph circulation systems, as well has holding the various organs and glands in place.\n\nMay I recommend a few?
