In this essay, I will demonstrate my understanding of the anatomical organization and functions of the skeletal system, including the main bone types connective tissues, joints, and protective structures. I will also explain the biomechanics of levers when muscular forces are transmitted by the skeletal system, bone development and repair, and the effects of the disease and age on locomotion. The Skeletal Structure and Functions The skeletal system is an important system of the human body as it supports and...

Each system of our body has different structures and functions that work together to keep our bodies healthy and functioning. Musculoskeletal system consists of 2 systems- muscular and skeletal systems. These systems are responsible for body movements, protection of internal organs, support, and posture. Skeletal system is divided into two skeletons: axial and appendicular skeleton. Axial skeleton contains the skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage. Main functions are protection of our brain, spinal cord, organs in the thorax and support...

The musculoskeletal system relies on its framework of connective tissue and muscle cells to work correctly so the human body can move and exercise. It is important to have a healthy musculoskeletal system to ensure that when an individual matures, their bones are healthy and not at risk of developing diseases such as osteoarthritis or osteoporosis. The Muscular System Connective Tissue Connective tissue forms a framework wherein epithelial tissue rests, and is the most abundant of the primary tissues, derived...

There are many ways to identify human skeletal remains and create a biological profile. One of the ways of creating a biological profile is to determine the sex of the skeletal remains. To identify the sex of the skeletal remains can be done by using several different bones in the skeleton. The most common used bones are the pelvis and various parts of the skull. There are two types of methods used when using bones to identify remains these are...

Depth Frames of PrimeSense Camera The PrimeSense PS1080 camera connects to several computers via an USB 2.0. The IR light projects a patttern of IR dots from the sensor and detects them by a CMOS image sensor with an IR filter. The camera can provide up to 640⨯480 resolutions at a rate 30 frames per second(fps). The OpenNI (natural interaction) provides audio and visual peripherals for PrimeSense PS1080. The camera can give coordinates to the depth of the object. In...
