Chapter 6 The Skeletal System: Bones and Joints PART I * A born baby has about 276 bones while an adult has 206 bones‚ this is because as you grow some bones join together in a single bone. * Bones are 20% of your weight. * The Skeletal System consist of: * Bones * Cartilages * Tendons * Ligaments * Joints * Functions of the skeletal system -bones perform various anatomic (mechanical) & physiologic function. They: 1. Stabilize‚ provide shape & support the

Retention measurement techniques: Kim et al [209] ‚used universal testing machine to compared the changes in retentive force of three commercially available attachment systems (Kerator blue‚ O-ring red‚ and EZ lock). The crosshead speed for the simulation was set at 60 mm/min. The lower mounting was seated on the fixed part of this machine‚ while the upper mounting was attached to the operation part. The specimen was placed in a position such that the force could be applied in a perpendicular
