What are the 3 parts of the sternum

• The manubrium

• The body (of sternum)

• The xiphoid

What bones make up the thorax or rib cage?

• The sternum 

• The ribs

• The thoracic vertebrae

What are the 7 bones that make up the face?

• the vomer

the skeletal system provides structure and shape for the body

support

the skeletal system surrounds and protects the internal organs

protection

the bones store calcium and phosphorus, two minerals that the body needs for important regulatory functions

mineral storage

red blood cells are manufactured in the bone marrow

red blood cell formation

the bones of the skeletal system act as levers for muscular action

anchoring and movement of muscles

very dense, hard and strong

cotical bone

the outer membrane of bone

periosteum

trabecular bone, much more porous and much less dense

cancellous bone

8 carpal bones

make up the wrist

ulna

larger/longer bone on the forearm (medial pinky side)

scapula

shoulder blade

5 metacarpals

make the hand

radius

smaller bones of the forearm on the lateral thumb side

sternum

breastbone

clavicle

collarbone

humerus

upper arm bone

14 phalanges

make up the finger bones

pubis

The anterior part of the pelvic bone

7 tarsal bones

make up the ankle

fibula

the smaller of the two lower leg bones on the lateral side

patella

kneecap, the bone that forms the anterior part of the knee

5 metatarsals

comprise the bone of the foot

ischium

the posterior part of the pelvic bone

femur

thighbone, the upper leg bone, the longest bone in the human body

14 phalanges

toes of the foot

tibia

shinbone, the larger more medially located lower leg bone
