5. Bones Are Grouped into the Axial Skeleton and the Appendicular Skeleton Bones of the appendicular skeleton facilitate movement, while bones of the axial skeleton protect internal organs. All skeletal structures belong to either the appendicular skeleton (girdles and limbs) or to the axial skeleton...
The major function of the axial skeleton is to protect the spinal cord, nerve roots and, with the ribs, to provide protection to internal organs. It also provides the structural support and balance for posture, enabling flexibility and mobility in motion while affording attachment sites for the ...
In subject area: Veterinary Science and Veterinary Medicine The axial skeleton of vertebrates consists of the vertebrae and the intervertebral discs forming the vertebral column, and the ribs. From: Osteoporosis (Fourth Edition), 2013 About this pageSet alert ...
Because Wnts were initially characterized for their importance in body patterning in Drosophila and Xenopus (167,168), it is not surprising that mutation of individual Wnt proteinsin mice results in either failure of axial body patterning (Wnt1, 3, 3a, 5a, and 8a) (66, 71, 76, 163, ...

Conclusion: Even though orofacial bones are not compromised by osteoporosis as much as the axial/appendicular skeleton, a regular dental follow-up of osteoporotic patients is advised, especially in the case of periodontal disease and maxillofacial surgery. Further controlled longitudinal studies considering...
Axial Skeleton The name given to the main framework of the skeleton, which includes the vertebral column, skull, and rib cage. Long Bone A type of bone that is common in the appendicular skeleton They are longer than they are wide They consist of the diaphysis, metaphysis, and epiphy...
