Skeletal system basics 🌟
- Components: Bones, cartilage, ligaments, and joints.
- Fun Fact: It's about 20% of your body weight! So, if you weighed 50kg, your skeleton would be about 10kg! 🎒
- Main Role: Determines body shape & size (but hey, food 🍔, workouts 🏋️, and your killer posture also play a part!).
The 206 bone breakdown 🎳
- Axial Skeleton (The Core Crew 🗿)
- Contains 80 bones.
- Includes: skull (think of it as your built-in helmet), ribs (your body's natural armor), sternum (the central shield), and vertebral column (your spine, the backbone of all your dance moves!)
- Appendicular Skeleton (The Limb Gang 🤸♂️)
- Has 126 bones.
- Parts
- Pectoral (Shoulder) Girdle: Made up of scapula (the wings in your back) and clavicle (collarbone, where you might wear your fave necklace).
- Upper Extremity: Humerus (your upper arm's main stick), ulna & radius (forearm buddies), carpal bones (wrist stuff), metacarpals (hand base), and phalanges (your waving fingers!).
- Pelvic (Hip) Girdle: The connector of your torso and legs.
- Lower Extremity: Femur (the big thigh bone), tibia & fibula (the duo in your lower leg), tarsal bones (ankle squad), metatarsals (foot base), and phalanges (your toe-tapping toes!).
Did you know? Your shoulder and hip girdles connect your limbs to your core skeleton. It's like how a bridge connects two pieces of land! 🌉
