The Axial Skeleton
Fun Facts About Bones Bone is made of the same type of minerals as
limestone.
Babies are born with 300 bones, but only have 206 by
adulthood.
Mice and giraffes have the same number of bones in
their neck as a human: 7.
The long horned ram can take a head butt at 25 mph.
The human skull will fracture at 5 mph.
The Axial and Appendicular Skeleton
About 206 bones Sesamoid bones range
from (2-26)
2 major divisions: Axial
Appendicular

Appendicular skeleton
The Skull
The skull protects The brain Entrances to respiratory system Entrance to digestive system
The skull contains 22 bones 8 cranial bones:
Form the braincase or cranium
14 facial bones: Protect and support entrances to digestive and respiratory
tracts
The Skull
The cranial part of the skull is composed of 8 curved plates of bone that interlock with each other
