Published	11/11/2024	Ribs {{c1::1-7}} are {{c2::true}} ribs, meaning they {{c3::directly attach to sternum}} and do so via the {{c3::costal cartilage}}.

Published	11/11/2024	The skull houses the {{c1::brain}} and attendent {{c1::specialised anatomical structures}}.
Published	11/11/2024	Joints between bones known as {{c1::sutures}} permit the growth of brain and bones into early adulthood.
Published	11/11/2024	The skulls have many {{c1::canals, foramen}} and {{c1::fissures}} which permit passage of {{c2::neurovascular}} structures through the skull, the larg…
Published	11/11/2024	Some of the highest mobility joints in the {{c1::skull}}.
Published	11/11/2024	The {{c1::Temporomandibular joint}} / {{c1::TMJ}} allows for the movement of the {{c2::jaw}} that occurs during {{c2::chewing}}.
Published	11/11/2024	The {{c2::atlanto-occipital}} joint allows for the {{c1::flexion}} and {{c1::extension}} of the head in the {{c1::sagittal}} plane.
Published	11/11/2024	The {{c2::pectoral girdle}} connects the {{c1::upper limb}} to the {{c1::axial}} skeleton.
Published	11/11/2024	The {{c2::pelvic girdle}} connects the {{c1::lower limb}} to the {{c1::axial skeleton}}.

Published	11/11/2024	Bones can be developed by {{c1::intramembranous}} and {{c1::endochondral}} {{c2::ossification}}.
Published	11/11/2024	{{c2::Intramembranous ossification}} is the {{c1::direct formation}} of bone.
Published	11/11/2024	Mechnical stresses inhibits bone {{c1::resorption}} and and promotes bone {{c1::deposition}}.
Published	11/11/2024	A lack of mechanical stress can lead to a decrease in bone {{c1::density}}.
Published	11/11/2024	Since bones are highly {{c1::vascularised}}, the capable of relatively {{c2::fast}} repair.
Published	11/11/2024	Joints occur when {{c1::2 or more bones}} meet.

Published	11/11/2024	{{c1::Synovial joints}} bind bones by {{c2::cartilage}} AND a {{c2::synovial cavity}}.
Published	11/11/2024	Fibrous joints allow {{c1::little}} movement
Published	11/11/2024	{{c2::Synovial}} joints allow for a {{c1::high degree}} of movement
Published	11/11/2024	At joints there is a trade-off between {{c1::stability}} and {{c1::mobility}}.
Published	11/11/2024	The skeleton acts as a reservior for {{c1::calcium}} and {{c1::phosphate}}.
Published	11/11/2024	{{c2::Red}} bone marrow contains only {{c1::haematopoietic (blood cell-generating) stem}} cells.
Published	11/11/2024	{{c1::Yellow}} bone marrow contains {{c2::adipose tissue}} and {{c2::stem}} cells.
