Part 1 There are 5 individual different types of bone in the human body‚ first we have long bones‚ some being the longest bones available in the skeleton such as the tibia and femur but are also some of the smallest bones such as the metacarpals and metatarsals. The description best suited to long bones would be that they are longer in length than they are in width‚ with epiphysis at either end. (The bones growth plates). The inside of the bone is a spongy like substance known as cancellous bone

Anabolic Steroids Description: Anabolic steroids are performance enhancing drugs. They are a synthetic form of the chemical testosterone that is normally found in the body. By taking anabolic steroids‚ a person’s testosterone level can be raised up to a hundred times more than the usual amount of 2.5 to 10 mg. Per day. The increase in testosterone increases anabolic activity‚ which results in greater muscle bulk. It also increases protein synthesis and androgenic activity (enhanced secondary

Introduction to Human Skeletal System: Skeletal system is the system of bones‚ associated cartilages and joints of human body. Together these structures form the human skeleton. Skeleton can be defined as the hard framework of human body around which the entire body is built. Almost all the hard parts of human body are components of human skeletal system. Joints are very important because they make the hard and rigid skeleton allow different types of movements at different locations. If the skeleton
