Bones
A bone is a organ. Bones protect the other various organs of the body, produce red and white blood cells, store minerals, provide structure and support for the body, and enable mobility.
Cranium
The brain is protected by a part of the skull called the cranium. There are eight bones that form it: the ethmoid bone, the sphenoid bone, the frontal bone, the occipital bone, two parietal bones, and two temporal bones.
scapula
the scapula also known as the shoulder bone, is the bone that connects the humerus (upper arm bone) with the clavicle (collar bone).
Ribs
ribs are the long curved bones which form the rib cage, part of the axial skeleton. ribs surround the chest, enabling the lungs to expand and it protects your vital organs.
Humerus
The humerus is the long bone in the upper arm. It is located between the elbow joint and the shoulder.
Sternum
The sternum is a flat bone at the front center of the chest. The ribs and sternum make up what is called the ‘ribcage. ‘ The ribcage protects the lungs, blood vessels, and heart,
Pelvis
The pelvis is either the lower part of the trunk of the human body between the abdomen and the thighs
Tibia
The tibia is a large bone located in the lower front portion of the leg. The tibia is also known as the shinbone, and is the second largest bone in the body.
Unla
The ulna is a long bone found in the forearm that stretches from the elbow to the smallest finger, and when in anatomical position, is found on the medial side of the forearm.
fibula
The fibula or calf bone is a leg bone on the lateral side of the tibia, to which it is connected above and below. It is the smaller of the two bones
Deltoid
The deltoid is a large muscle responsible for lifting the arm and giving the shoulder its range of motion. It is located in the uppermost part of the arm, at the shoulder. Tendons attach the deltoid to the collarbone, shoulder blade, and upper arm.
Pectoralis major
Pectoralis major is a thick, fan-shaped muscle contributing to the thoracobrachial motion. It consists of a clavicular part and a sternal part, both converging to a flat tendon that inserts on the humerus.
Biceps brachii
The biceps brachii is a bi-articular muscle, which means that it helps control the motion of two different joints, the shoulder and the elbow. The function of the biceps at the elbow is essential to the function of the forearm in lifting.
Tendon
a flexible but inelastic cord of strong fibrous collagen tissue attaching a muscle to a bone.
quadriceps
The quadriceps femoris is a group of muscles located in the front of the thigh. The Latin translation of ‘quadriceps’ is ‘four headed,’ as the group contains four separate muscles
