The compact bone structure consists of closely packed osteons or haversian systems, which are central canals surrounded by concentric rings of bone matrix and lacunae that hold bone cells. Osteology is the detailed study of bone structure, morphology, function, disease, and biomechanics. The skull consists of 22 bones that protect the brain, with the spine protecting the spinal cord through its cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebrae. The chest contains organs for respiration, circulation, and digestion and is bounded by landmarks, with its main function being protection of vital organs like the heart and lungs. Bones are living tissues that provide structure, protection, and blood cell production through bone marrow.

Compact bone structure consists of closely packed osteons or haversian systems. The osteon consists of a central canal called the osteonic (haversian) canal, which is surrounded by concentric rings (lamellae) of matrix. Between the rings of matrix, the bone cells (osteocytes) are located in spaces called lacunae. BONE ANATOMY What is the study 02
of bone anatomy? It is a subdiscipline of anatomy, anthropology, and paleontology, osteology is the detailed study of the structure of bones, skeletal elements, teeth, microbone morphology, function, disease, pathology, the process of ossification (from cartilaginous molds), and the resistance and hardness of bones (biophysics). HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES 06
SKULL ANATOMY The skull consists of 22 bones in most adult specimens, and these bones come together via cranial sutures. The function of the skull is both structurally supportive and protective. The skull will harden and fuse through development to protect its inner contents: the cerebrum, cerebellum, brainstem, and orbits. 11
THE SKULL'S FUNCTION Bones also protect the body's organs. The skull protects the brain and forms the shape of the face. The spinal cord, a pathway for messages between the brain and the body, is protected by the backbone, or spinal column. 06
SPINE ANATOMY The spine itself has three main segments: the cervical spine, the thoracic spine, and the lumbar spine. The cervical is the upper part of the spine, made up of seven vertebrae (bones). The thoracic is the center portion of the spine, consisting of 12 vertebrae. The lower portion of the spine is called the lumbar spine. 14
The spine is our body's central
support structure. It keeps us upright and connects the different parts of our skeleton THE SPINE'S to each other: our head, chest, FUNCTION pelvis, shoulders, arms and legs. Although the spine is made up of a chain of bones, it is flexible due to elastic ligaments and spinal disks. 06
CHEST ANATOMY The thoracic cavity contains organs and tissues that function in the respiratory (lungs, bronchi, trachea, pleura), cardiovascular (heart, pericardium, great vessels, lymphatics), nervous (vagus nerve, sympathetic chain, phrenic nerve, recurrent laryngeal nerve), immune (thymus) and digestive (esophagus) systems. THE CHEST'S FUNCTION 07
The chest is the part of your body between your neck and your abdomen (belly). The medical term for your chest is thorax. Your chest holds many important structures for breathing, digestion, blood circulation, and other important body functions. The chest wall's main job is to surround and protect your vital organs, including your heart, lungs, and liver. The boundaries of your chest wall are determined by certain landmarks. WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF BONE STRUCTURE? Bones are living, active tissues that the body is constantly remodeling. Their functions include supporting body structure, protecting key organs, and enabling the body to move. Also, it is in the bones that the body produces bone marrow and, from there, blood cells. Bones support your body and WHY IS IT allow you to move. They protect your brain, heart, and other IMPORTANT TO organs from injury. Bone is a KNOW ABOUT living, growing tissue. It is made mostly of two materials: collagen BONES? (KOL-uh-juhn), a protein that provides a soft framework, and calcium (KAL-see-uhm), a mineral that adds strength and hardness.
