2. BODY PARTS
The human skeleton is the internal framework of the human
body. It is composed of around 270 bones at birth – this total
decreases to around 206 bones by adulthood after some bones
get fused together. The bone mass in the skeleton reaches
maximum density around age 21.
3. ELBOW
The elbow joint is classified structurally as a synovial
joint. It is also classified structurally as a compound joint,
as there are two articulations in the joint. Synovial joints,
also called diarthroses, are free movble joints.
4. PATELLA
The patella is a small bone located in front of the knee
joint — where the thighbone (femur) and shinbone (tibia)
meet. It protects the knee and connects the muscles in the
front of the thigh to the tibia.
5. SKULL
The skull is a bone structure that forms the head in vertebrates.
It supports the structures of the face and provides a protective
cavity for the brain. The skull is composed of two parts: the
cranium and the mandible.
6. NECK
The neck is the part of the body on many vertebrates that
connects the head with the torso and provides the mobility and
movements of the head. The structures of the human neck are
anatomically grouped into four compartments; vertebral,
visceral and two vascular compartments.
7. RIB
1 : one of the curved bones of the chest that are joined to the
backbone and help to stiffen the body wall and protect the
organs. 2 : a piece of meat from an animal (as a cow or pig) that
includes a rib and is used as food.
8. FEMUR
femur, also called thighbone, upper bone of the leg or hind leg.
The head forms a ball-and-socket joint with the hip (at the
acetabulum), being held in place by a ligament (ligamentum
teres femoris) within the socket and by strong surrounding
ligaments.
9. HUMERUS
The humerus is the bone in your upper arm. It's located
between your elbow and your shoulder, and consists of several
parts that allow it to move freely in different directions.
