Axial Skeleton
The axial skeleton forms the central axis of the body. It consists of the skull, the vertebral column, the ribs and the sternum.
Bone Marrow
Bone marrow is the tissue comprising the center of large bones. It is the place where new blood cells are produced.
Cartilage
Cartilage is a type of dense connective tissue.
Cartilage is found in the joints, the rib cage, the ear, the nose, in the throat and between intervertebral disks
Hinge Joint
The hinge joint allows bones to move back and forth, and is found in your elbow and knee. It allows bones to move like a hinge in a door
Ligaments
The bones at a joint are held together by strong bands of tissue called ligaments which allow the bones to move
Ossification
Ossification is the process of bone formation, in which connective tissues, such as cartilage are turned to bone or bone-like tissue
Radius
One of the two bones in your lower arm. This bone is
always found on the thumb side of the arm.
SternumThe Sternum connects your ribs together
in the front of the chest.
The bottom tip of the
sternum is called the xyphoid process.
