Document Summary
206 bones in the human adult body; children have more but they will eventually fuse. Skull, hyoid bone, vertebrae, ribs, sternum, auditory ossicles: appendicular skeleton. Upper and lower limbs, pelvic and pectoral girdles (attachment points between axial and appendicular skeleton) Projections provide attachment points for muscles & ligaments that are trying to cross a joint; ie a process (smaller boney feature that sticks out of the bone), tuberosity (large knob projection), tubercles (rounded bumps) Openings like the foramina (holes), canals (tunnels); where we have blood/nerve supply running around bones or through bones; providing can area where we can things moving through bone for protection. Depressions like fossas (shallow depressions), notches, grooves; where we have blood/nerve supply running around bones or through bones; providing can area where we can things moving through bone for protection. The body of the bone is the largest part of the bone. Head is the end of the bone; neck connects the head to the body.
