What is the axial skeleton?

The axial skeleton includes the skull, vertebral column, and rib cage.

What is the appendicular skeleton?

The appendicular skeleton includes the limbs, shoulder girdle, and pelvic girdle.

Where is yellow marrow located and what is its function?

Yellow marrow is located in the diaphysis (shaft) of long bones and stores fat.

What is the name of the tailbone?

The name for your tailbone is the coccyx.

Describe the different categories of ribs.

True ribs are directly attached to the sternum (breastbone) by their own cartilage. False ribs are attached indirectly, while floating ribs have no direct attachment to the sternum.

What are the three types of spine curvature and where are they located?

Kyphosis is an outward curvature of the spine in the thoracic region, scoliosis is a lateral (sideways) curvature, and lordosis is an inward curvature in the lumbar region.

Describe the different shapes of bones and provide examples of each.

Flat bones are thin and often curved, like the skull bones and ribs. Short bones are cube-shaped, like the carpals and tarsals. Irregular bones have complex shapes, like the vertebrae and facial bones. Long bones are longer than they are wide, like the femur and humerus.

Describe the four types of joints and provide an example of each.

A ball and socket joint allows for movement in all directions, like the hip and shoulder. A pivot joint allows for rotation, like the radius and ulna. A hinge joint allows for movement in one plane, like the elbow and knee. A gliding joint allows for sliding motions, like the carpals and tarsals.
