Document Summary
Hap 101 week five/chapter 7 the skeletal system the axial skeleton. Lo 7. 1: discuss major differences between appositional bone growth and interstitial bone growth. Lo 7. 2: describe how exercise and mechanical stress affect bone and tissues. Adult human skeleton consists of 206 bones. Bones of human skeleton are grouped into two major divisions. Infant human skeleton consists of more than 206 bones, as some of the bones fuse together late in life: the axial skeleton: includes the skull (cranium and face), hyoid bone, auditory ossicles, vertebral column, and thorax. The total number of bones in this skeleton are 126. Short bones: somewhat cube-shaped and are nearly equal in length and width. They consist of spongy bone tissue except at the surface, which as a thin layer of compact bone tissue. Flat bones: generally thin and composed of two nearly parallel plates of compact bone tissue enclosing a layer of spongy bone tissue.
