Document Summary

The axial skeleton is the part of your skeleton along the midline. The appendicular skeleton is the rest of the skeleton. The pelvis is kind of part of both types of skeletons you can live without your pelvis but it is not ideal. Cervical spine (neck: gives you a lot of flexibility but also gives you a lot of weakness, we need the flexibility to be able to move around. Thoracic spine (ribcage: less flexibility, important for connecting to your ribs. Lumbar spine (low back: larger vertebral bodies because it carries more weight. Sacrum (part of the pelvis: 5 bones fused together. Coccyx (tail bone: 3 bones fused together. Important because we need calcium to uncontract muscles so that we can contract them again. We also need calcium for strong bones. We need phosphate for every single molecule of atp. Bone is laid down in areas of high stress. Bone is lost in areas of low stress.
