Forensic Science Skeletal System

Explain the best cause of metatarsalgia:

• The tendency to walk barefoot over uniform terrain

• A genetic predisposition to having flat heels can injure the metatarsals

• It could be caused by extended periods of activity involving the lower limbs without allowing for a proper period of rest

• Foot deformities caused by wearing shoes that are too tight or too loose

What are the major parts of the skeletal system?

• Bones and ligaments

• Bones and muscles working together

• Bones and connective tissues

• Bones, connective tissue, and adipose tissues

Name the tissue that makes up bones:

• Osseous tissue

• Musculoskeletal tissue

• Skeletal tissue

• Integumentary tissue

Identify the two types of bone tissue:

• Porous and impermeable bone tissue

• Solid and osseous bone tissue

• Spongy and osseous bone tissue

• Cortical and spongy bone tissue

Identify the main function of bone marrow:

• Stem cells in the bone marrow give rise to important componets of the skeletal system such as osteoblasts and osteoclasts

• Stem cells in the bone marrow give rise to red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets

• Stem cells in the bone marrow give rise to the four different kinds of cells which will later become the bones and connective tissue of the skeletal system

• Stem cells in the bone marrow give rise to all parts of the skeletal system, such as bones, tendons, and ligaments
