ANT203Y1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 6: Axial Skeleton, Ulna, Humerus
Document Summary
The skeleton does not sit in isolation, part of a broader system. The main interaction is between the skeletons and our muscles. Provides protection for our vital organs as well as structure and these important tissues maintain an active relationship with physiological & chemical pathways. Bone tissue: remodeling is the main activity of our bones, help to moderate the structure of bones as they grow and keep the active. Not all bones are necessarily the same, though they don"t connect to each other and rely on joints for movement and flexibility. Axial skeleton: the main structure along the main axis of the body. Appendicular: help connect the limbs to the main axis. Dentition: 32 teeth and a characteristic standard pattern. Thorax: creates anchoring parts for the upper limbs and protects the upper cavity. Pelvic girdle: a stable structure to anchor us for bipedal locomotion also has a role of supporting our organs.
