6. Oh no you silly billy, you've broken a RIB! You go to A&E and demand a cast for recovery but they say no, why?
Because ribs are actually cartilage
A lot of ribs heal on their own, which is great as it's a difficult area to heal due to constant movement from breathing etc, not a conducive area to bandage up
Because you demanded it rather than asking nicely.
That it. Death sentence. It's all downhill from here.
7. Can you name the 3 main bones of the arm?
Cyndaquil, Totodile, Chikorita
no
Humerus, Radius, Ulna
Femur, Fibia, Tibia
8. Are bones essential to life which can move of its own volition?
Yes. Just because.
No, there are many creatures without bones
No, some things have structural support systems made of metal, wood, very hard proteins, and other various materials
Yes, skellingtons are essential to defy gravity and your own weight/inertia
9. In our upper limbs we generally have a big bone and then the lower limbs comprise two smaller bones. Discuss the mechanical advantages of this configuration.
Generally bigger bones are strong and built to withstand weight whereas small bones joined together allow for flexibility, but may not be as rigid and therefore prone to breakage
Generally smaller sized bones are strong and built to withstand weight whereas bigger bones joined together allow for flexibility, but may not be as rigid and therefore prone to breakage
If we are strong on top, when thrown into the air we will always land on our feet, like a cat
Our smaller bones aren't fixed to one place and therefore are able to move about the body, whereas big bones stay still and inflexible
10. Can you name the four sections of the spine, IN ORDER (from neck to bum)
