Document Summary
The functions of the bones in the human body are abundant and crucial far above and beyond provision of rigidity. Its functions are further divided into three, namely: mechanical functions which include protection, structure, movement and sound transduction; synthetic function such as blood production; and metabolic functions including mineral, fat and growth storage, acid-base balance, detoxification, and endocrine organ. To summarize these fu(cid:374)(cid:272)tio(cid:374)s, re(cid:373)e(cid:373)(cid:271)er the (cid:373)(cid:374)e(cid:373)o(cid:374)i(cid:272) (cid:862)some. Men prefer mini skirts, but ca(cid:374)"t find enough ski(cid:374). (cid:863) Textbooks differ as to what bones to include in the facial skeleton, making a strict distinction between bones of the neurocranium and viscerocranium. The hyoid, ethmoid, and sphenoid bones are sometimes included, but otherwise considered part of the neurocranium. Others also include bones that can be seen in the frontal aspect of the skull such as the frontal bone. Note vain mm plz so you do(cid:374)"t miss out any of the facial bones.
