Why is a bone r called a bone r when there are no bones?

Slang words, and especially vulgar slang, often do not match reality.  It is also called a "woody" and there is certainly no wood in it either.\n\nErection sounds almost monumental.  Nothing else as part of the human body undergoes such a transformation.  From flaccid to "not so limp" (chubby) to "stiff as a board or a bone" by merely pumping blood is remarkable.

You are absolutely right!  A thick band of bone DOES in fact form around a broken bone after a break, and this thickening is called a callus.\n\nAlthough they may appear dry and lifeless, bones are just as alive as the tissue that surrounds them. Inside the hard outer part of a bone is a spongy center filled with blood vessels and special cells that constantly tear down and rebuild the bone from the inside out. Bone cells called OSTEOCLASTS are like a demolition crew, breaking down old bone material.  Meanwhile cells called OSTEOBLASTS are like a construction crew, building up new bone material as the old stuff is demolished. \n\nSo how do these cells help broken bones heal? When a bone breaks, a blood clot forms around the break.  The osteoclasts near the site of the break immediately begin clearing away the "rubble" (any broken shards of bone, uneven edges, etc).  Meanwhile, the osteoblasts create the thickened bone callus to replace the blood clot and hold the broken bone together. At the same time, the osteoblasts also produce new bone material to repair the damage.   After many weeks, when the bone has regained its structural integrity and can support weight, the osteoclasts function again to "chew" the callus away.  \n\nDepending on the bone and the severity of the fracture, after several weeks its hardworking cells can repair a broken bone as good as new.

The bones in the body together form a skeletal system of that body and all the bones not dismantled is the skeleton.

You don't say which bone, but I do find reference to ligament separation from bone in an ACL injury.  Perhaps this can lead to your answer.

Most, if not all mammals are vertebrates.  That simply means that they have a backbone or a spinal column.  An example of an invertebrate would be an octupus.  Hope this clears it up a bit!

No part of the bone remains the same size always. The bony collar (the compact bone of the shaft surrounding the medullar cavity) experiences appositional growth right up until your late teens. Osteoblasts add; osteoclasts detract, which is why to have strong, resilient bones, one must put in more than is taken away (namely, calcium salts).

The ribs are thin, flat, curved bones that form a protective cage around the organs in the upper body. They are comprised 24 bones arranged in 12 pairs.

The radius and ulna (both forearm bones) meet just above your wrist bones.  You have several small bones that make up your wrist. Techically... you broke your arm.

Bone is unique in that it heals with its own tissue, rather than with scar tissue. This amazing capacity for regeneration enables a mending bone to completely heal itself. The typical permanent effects as a result of abone break is in the nerves around the bone. Bones heal up well.\nI'm answering because I'm dealing with the same thing right now. It almost feels like the bone is still broken, but it's not broken. It just feels that way. So don't worry.

Hmmmmmmm, interesting question and I'm not an expert on the skeletal system (hoping you meant skeletal vs. sleletal what was written).  If I seriously think about it... "What does the Skeletal system and the joints support as a system".  I would have to think the system is the human body all emcompassing.  If one thinks about it... It supports the entire body structure.  Meaning it gives the human body the ability to stand, to move, and most importantly to 'protect' the internal organs.  If the human body had no bone structure we'd simply be like a spongly rubber thingy.  The joints now give the bone structure the ability to move, to bend.  Gives the structure range of motion.  Curious to see the other anwers to this question. Good Luck and thanks for asking.

it looks like a longggggg bone but it has spikes sticking out of it\n\nÆ

it is a pregression of bone loss.your bones become more and more brittle.you should be carful your bones break easier

READ THIS NOW!\ni have always known this one!   : )  \n\nBones- ( as in the human skeleton) is mainly made of a protein called - Collagen(this is the actual word for this protein used in most of our body)!!. bones also contain bone marrow in the centre(this is needed) calcium phosphate and other mineral compounds are then needed to strenghten and further form human bones. you can read the article in the link below to understand this more.\n\ni feel clever compared to the answers above me (jus kidding) . LOL!  : )  please give me 10 points cuz its for your homework   : )\n\n\nread this for your homework answer-( but do not plagiarise ) \nFramework of bones that supports and gives form to the body, protects its internal organs, and provides anchorage points for its muscles. It is composed of about 206 bones. Each bone and cartilage is made of a mineral, calcium phosphate, and protein (collagen). Bones of the skeleton are joined to each other by ligaments. In the human body, walking, running, arm and leg movements, hand actions, and even just standing, are all achieved by the operation of muscles attached to bones of the skeleton. Movement of the body is brought about by the move- able joints of the body. The elbow joint is a good example. Muscles are attached to bones by tendons, and contractions of the muscle bring about movement.
