Knee joints were enlarged to better support human body weight and were placed directly under the body‚ unlike ancestral hominids whose knees were placed outward of the body. The hip joints were enlarged for the same exact reason. Hips also changed into a wider shape‚ bringing the vertebral column closer to the hip

are a set of seven irregularly shaped bones. They are situated in the foot and in the ankle area. Metatarsals – The metatarsals are used to connect the phalanges to the tarsals. They are found in the foot. Vertebral column – The vertebral column is more commonly known as the spinal column. It’s mainly used for protection of the spinal cord. It also provides stiffening for the body and attachment for the pectoral and pelvic girdles. Cervical – The cervical is the vertebrae of the neck. The first

(Adams et al.‚ pg. 4)(Boundless‚ 2013) Axial Skeleton The axial skeleton forms the main axis or core of the skeletal system. It consists of the skull‚ vertebral column‚ and thoracic cage. As noted by Adams et al. (2010)‚ the axial skeleton consists of 80 bones. The axial skeleton has two functions. The first is that it provides support and protection for the organs in the dorsal and ventral cavities such as

Who would we be if our body did not consist of bones? A big blob? A thin figure? Bones are very vital to our body. It is what builds us up. Bones all together makes our skeleton. It is very important that we know about and take care of our bodies. Our bones give us our distinct body shape along with supporting and protecting our organs and systems. The bones that make up our skeletons are all very much alive‚ growing and changing all the time like other parts of our body. Even though our bones are
