- For this installment of your discussions please give us two main differences or elaborate on any you can think of between the two divisions of the skeletal system; from the most apparent to how these bones develop. Make your comments brief and succinct. If it seems as though the contributions are sounding similar or the same include a trivia like or little known fact about any one bone in the skeletal system. I will give you an example: The axial contains all bones within the medial aspect of the body. The appendicular incorporates the bones of the pectoral, pelvic girdles and extremities. The capitate is the largest bone of the carpal bones.arrow_forwardBelow you will find two concept maps. A concept map is a diagram that helps us to build relationships, in this case, between structures of the human body. There are two concept maps, one for the pectoral girdle and upper limb, and a second for the pelvic girdle and the lower limb. For each number on the concept map, provide the bone that is found in that location within the limb. Use the anatomical direction "compass" as a guide. For each letter on the concept map, provide the articulation that is formed at that location. For each articulation: What structural features of the bones involved articulate, or come into contact? Be specific. Provide all of the structures that stabilize that articulation. The appendicular skeleton allows the human body to be mobile and dexterous. There are 63 total bones in the appendicular skeleton, many of which form complex articulations.arrow_forwardOrganize the bones three different ways. Think about the organization of the bones in the human body and outline three different ways in which the skeletal system is organized. Use a visual diagram or chart to present your three organizational schemes. Be detailed and very clear in the presentation of your ideas.arrow_forward
