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.

It's hard to calculate just bone mass, you can calculate lean body mass, which is the mass of your organs, bones and muscle. \n\nTry the calculator below. Although it might not be 100% accurate, as it does not take into account frame size or variations in muscle mass, it will give you a general idea. HTH : )

Calcium\nCalcium is one of the most important minerals for the growth, maintenance, and reproduction of the human body. Calcium is essential for the formation of and maintenance of healthy teeth and bones.\n\nThe bones incorporate calcium into their structure. Like other tissues in the body, bones are continually being reabsorbed and re-formed. Teeth incorporate calcium in their structure in a manner similar to bones.\n\nCalcium has other functions in addition to maintaining healthy teeth and bones. Blood coagulation, transmission of nerve impulses, muscle contraction and relaxation, normal heartbeat, stimulation of hormone secretion, activation of enzyme reactions, as well as other functions all require small amounts of calcium.\nPhosphorous\nThe main function of phosphorus is in the formation of bones and teeth. It plays an important role in the body's utilization of carbohydrates and fats and in the synthesis of protein for the growth, maintenance, and repair of cells and tissues. It is also crucial for the production of ATP, a molecule the body uses to store energy.\n\nPhosphorus works with the B vitamins. It also assists in the contraction of muscles, in the functioning of kidneys, in maintaining the regularity of the heartbeat, and in nerve conduction.\nNitrogen\n79% of the air around us is nitrogen . Living things need nitrogen to make proteins, but they cannot get it directly from the air because nitrogen gas is too stable to react inside an organism to make new compounds. \n\nSo nitrogen must be changed into a more reactive form to allow plants and animals to use it. Plants can take up and use nitrogen when it is in the form of nitrates or ammonium salts. Changing nitrogen into a more reactive substance is called nitrogen fixation. \n\nNitrogen fixation happens in three different ways:\n\nThe energy in a lightning bolt can split the di-atomic nitrogen molecule in the air allowing each nitrogen atom to react with oxygen to form nitrogen oxides. These oxides are washed to the ground by the rain where they form nitrates.\n\n\nThe Haber process is used by industry to produce ammonia from nitrogen. Ammonia is used to make fertiliser for farmers to feed their crops.\n\n\nNitrogen-fixing bacteria found in the soil and in the root nodules of leguminous plants fix nitrogen into a usable form.\n\n\nNitrogen compounds are returned to the soil by excretion and egestion from animals or when plants and animals die and decay. The nitrogen compounds returned in this way are changed back to nitrogen gas by denitrifying bacteria which live in the soil - thus completing the cycle.

THE FIVE MAJOR FUCTIONS OF THE SKELETAL SYSTEM\n1st:The skeleton gives shape and support to your body\n2nd:bones protect your internal organs.For example,ribs surround the heart and lungs, and the skull encloses the brain.\n3nd:Major muscles are attached to bone and help them move\n4th:Blood cells are formed in the center of many bones in soft tissue called red marrow.\n5th:Major quantities of calcium and phosphorous compounds are stored in the skeleton for later use.Calcium and phosphorous make bones hard.

206.\n\nAt birth the human body has about 350 bones, but by the time adulthood rolls around, some of our bones have fused together to give us a total of 206 bones in our body!\n\n28 skull bones\n\nthe horseshoe-shaped hyoid bone of the neck; \n\n26 vertebrae\n\n24 ribs plus the sternum or breastbone(2 clavicles, the most frequently fractured bone in the body, and 2 scapulae)\n\n the pelvic girdle (2 fused bones); \n\n30 bones in our arms and legs (a total of 120); \n\nThere are also a few partial bones, ranging from 8-18 in number, which are related to joints.\n\nBasically, there are 7 vertebrae and the hyoid bone in the neck.

On average, an adult human has 206 bones (according to Gray's Anatomy, but the number can vary slightly from individual to individual), but a baby is born with approximately 300 bones. The difference comes from a number of small bones that fuse together during growth, such as the sacrum and coccyx of the vertebral column.\n\nThe number of bones per area:\nSkull (22) \nChest (25)\nVertebral column (26)  \nFeet (52) \nHands (54)\n\nSo the hands have the most bones.

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

cranium(head), humerus(bone from shoulder to elbow), Radius and your Ulna(bones in the forearm(Ulna is on your pinky finger side)),scapula(shoulder blade), clavicle(collar bone),sternum(breast bone), Femur(hip to knee), Tibula and Fibula and thats all I know off the top of my head
