The hyoid bone.  It is a U-shaped bone in the upper neck, at the base of the tongue.  It is the only bone that is not "articulated" to another.  It is also the one that gets broken when someone is strangled, but strangely enough, not when they hang themselves.

Tibia which is also known as the shin bone is located beside the fibula which is laso known as calf bone. These bones in laymans term is the leg bone. Tibia is on the medial(inner) and carries most of the weight of the body. Fibula which is on the lateral(outside) which is very thin that looks like the leg of a cow is more for support and attachment of the foot.

Of the skeletal system? The bones of course. Here is a list of some of the bones- be aware that this doesn't go nearly all of the boens in the body\nHead and Neck\nFrontalis\nZygomaticus\nOccipital\nNasal\nHyoid\nLacrimal\nTemporal\nMandible\nCristi Galli\nCribriform plate\n\nChest\nTrue Ribs\nFalse Ribs\nFloating Ribs\nClavicle\nVertebra\nSternum\nSpine\n(4 areas of spine)\nradius\nHumerus\nPelvis\nPhalanges\nMetacarpal\nCarpals\nWaist Down\nTibia\nPateller\nUlna\nTarsels\nMetatarsels\nPhalanges\n\n\nHOPE THAT HELPS- ITS NOT A FULL LIST, BUT ITS A LOT

There is no "the" compact bone.\n\nCompact bone is a TYPE of hard, dense bone, found in main shaft of long bones and outer layer of other bones.

LIGAMENTS: They are the tissues connecting 1 BONE with another BONE.\nTENDON:They are the the tissues which runs parallel with bones and direcly attached with it.\nCARTILAGE:They are the semi solid BONES which is present at the places where they reqires.EG. our external ears,nose,between 2 joints cartilages are present.

There are 206 bones in the human body.

average human body has 206 bones.  Some have one or two more or less.\n\nas for the joints, I've only had one today...

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.

A tendon conects the muscle to bone, though some muscles are directly attached to bone without a tendon connecting them. Ligaments are a simular tissue, but connect one bone to another.\nMuscle spindles are a sensory fibre in muscles that are trigered by muscular contraction.

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

At 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\nHere is the breakdown:\n\nThe adult skeleton consists of 206 bones . . .\n\n- 28 skull bones (8 cranial, 14 facial, and 6 ear bones);\n\n- the horseshoe-shaped hyoid bone of the neck;\n\n- 26 vertebrae (7 cervical or neck, 12 thorax, 5 lumbar or loins, the sacrum which is five fused vertebrae, and the coccyx, our vestigial tail, which is four fused vertebrae);\n\n- 24 ribs plus the sternum or breastbone; the shoulder girdle (2 clavicles, the most frequently fractured bone in the body, and 2 scapulae);\n\n- the pelvic girdle (2 fused bones);\n\n- 30 bones in our arms and legs (a total of 120);\n\n- There are also a few partial bones, ranging from 8-18 in number, which are related to joints.

Your spine is has 24 individual bones. Each separated by an invertible disc. From the top down there are 7 cervical vertebrae, 12 thoracic vertebrae, connected to the ribs, and 5 lumbar vertebrae.

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.

not the whole body, that's many systems.  but yes, it's comprised of every bone in the body
