Chapter 7 Reflection

Fun fact, I thought our body had less that 206 bones. I guess we don't think of all the small bones that make up the wrist and ankle. Depending what bone  you are looking at, they are made up differently for specific functions. Example, long bones absorb the stress of the body weight compared to flat bones which provide surface for muscle attachments. Remembering the bones can be tricky, so I will be using images from the internet and testing myself daily. The skull alone is made up of 22 bones and you wouldn't think it has that many. Bones help protect soft tissues, and help aid movement, but can also involve imbalances. For example, herniated discs in the vertebral column can affect the individual because the disc is pushing on spinal nerve affecting weakness, pain, and inability to move certain limbs.
