Skeleton

Question: What kind of skeleton structure does an hourglass woman have? What kind of skeleton structure does an hourglass woman have? What about her skeleton gives her that fablous curve? What is the shape of her skeleton? Is a woman with a small ribcage likely to have a smaller waist? (Example: a woman with a 32E or 32D bra size)

Answer: Women with an hour glass shape have a normal skeleton. The only thing that is different, is they have a bigger behind & bigger breasts in relation to their waist, so that it appears they are shaped like an hour glass.....best example of an hour glass shape - Salma Hayek.

Question: How long does the skeleton/dead mans body last in the ocean depth? In old shipwrecks, did any one find a skeleton? Did anyone find any skeleton in the titanics wreckage.

Answer: Ocean water contains sodium which besides calcium also strengthens the bone, as far as time is concerned so it will last forever unless its destroyed or shattered to pieces, also with the temperature it is most likely frozen solid, and is even more IMPERMEABLE to any type of oxidation or destruction by bacteria. But theres also pressure, this can break bones because high pressure, as you already know breaks even the strongest submarines, it also works for bones! higher pressure = cracking bones under the ocean!

Question: How do I make a good Skeleton costume from home 4 an adult? How do I make a good Skeleton costume from home for myself? I've never been a skeleton b-4 so I dont have any peieces to peiece 2-gether & I really am trying to save money if not whats the best cheapest place to buy one? And can you make one of them that bleeds like those ones you always see?

Answer: You can buy black warm up pants and warm up top and paint with white the bones on the front and back.

Question: How can you tell if ancient skeleton is a child? The skeleton of a supposed human ancestor has recently been found and hailed as a child. How can you tell that the skeleton is that of a child. Or, from the other side of the coin, a dwarf ancestor was supposedly found in Indonesia, why was that not described as a child instead?

Answer: 1. Through the teeth (commonly used and more accurate than counting the bones). Humans grow two sets of teeth. The first set (the "baby," "milk," "primary" or "deciduous" set) appears at about six months of age, although some babies are born with one or more teeth already visible. This stage is known as teething and can be quite painful for an infant. Human children have 20 milk teeth evenly distributed across the mouth's quadrants. Each quadrant of five teeth has a: - central incisor - lateral incisor - cuspid (canine) - first molar - second molar The second, permanent set of 28 teeth appears (erupts) between the ages of 6 and 12 years in the human dentition. The old set is pushed out of the jaw as the new set erupts. The third molars (the wisdom teeth) are the final teeth to erupt, usually around age 20. However, it is common for the wisdom teeth not to erupt at all; this is often the case in small jaws without room to support the extra teeth. It is possible, though rare, for a person to have fourth molars, and there have been instances where fifth molars have been present in the dentition. You can visit this site to know the timeline for human tooth development: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_development. From this site, you will know the approximate age of a skeleton. 2. Through number of bones (assuming that skeleton is intact and that body was not dismembered). At birth, all bones will have formed, but a newborn baby has more bones than an adult. On average, an adult human has 206 bones (according to Gray's Anatomy, but the number can vary slightly from individual to individual), but a baby is born with approximately 270 bones. The difference comes from a number of small bones that fuse together during growth, such as the sacrum and coccyx of the vertebral column. An infant is born with pockets of cartilage between particular bones to allow further growth. The sacrum (the bone at the base of the spine) consists of five bones which are separated at birth but fuse together into a solid structure in later years. Growing is usually completed between ages 12 and 14, at which point the bones have no pockets of cartilage left to allow more growth.

Question: What materials could form a better skeleton in an altered human? I'm writing a story and am having some trouble with a part of it. In it there is a human who has been genetically altered to be a better soldier. (I never said it was an original story.) I want to have his skeleton be stronger without TOO much additional weight. What naturally occuring substances on earth could be eaten and digested (obviously the genetic alterations would allow the material to be digested and used as required) to form a better skeleton that is more resistant to breaks?

Answer: I'm a big fan of carbon fiber. The use of that would make them lighter and much more resistant to breaks. We are carbon-based lowering the likelihood of rejection. The fiber would also make it susceptible to attachment of tissue physically. I'd probably go for Titanium and/or stainless steel for the joints but we're getting pretty tricky on the implementation now, but then again, that's your problem, 'ey? Edit: BTW, the use of carbon fiber would, conveniently, make the soldier's strength to weight ratio much higher, enabling them to be much faster in their movements and able to leap higher and fall further without damage.

Question: What function does the skeleton play within the body of a dog? This is a question I have to answer for an assignment at college. The answer needs to be suitable for Primary school children to understand, as I have to include it in my poster to help them identify the bones of the skeleton in a dog.

Answer: It supports the body, protects the delicate parts inside, and gives the muscles something to pull on so the dog can move its parts.

Question: How is the human skeleton like that of a chimpanzee skeleton? What's the major difference? How is the human skeleton like that of a chimpanzee skeleton? What's the major difference?

Answer: There is a one-to-one correspondence between bones. The human knee and pelvis are structured differently for upright walking.

Question: What is the skeleton of a fish symbolic of? I just bought a necklace with the skeleton of a fish on it. I mostly just got it in honor of FSM, as I plan on drawing an eye patch onto it. But I want to know what the symbol of a fish skeleton actually means, because I've seen it around before. My dad said it represents the idea of being 'eaten alive'. Is this true?

Answer: It is a Christian symbol for Christ.

Question: How much would the Human Skeleton and musculature have to change to accommodate a pair wings? On their back, like an Angel or a Demon. Please explain for bird like wings and bat-like wings. Like what we see in the appearance of good Angels and evil Demons. I'm working on a project and need help with this one. I know if you just implant some oversized bird wings on a human that wouldn't necessarily work, so what would we need to do to the human skeleton to allow the existence of wings?

Answer: look at the breast bone and the amount of breast meat on a chicken. how much of its body weight is composed of the muscles that make flight possible..... now think about how graceful a chicken in flight is... the ratios and masses for birds like sparrows or hawks is even more dramatic. A humans breast bone would have to extend four or five feet straight out from the chest, well past the length of our arms, and the breast muscles would have to traverse from an anchor at the base of the pelvis to up above the neckline, somewhere areound the ears and back/sides of the head. You could probably photomorph a profile picture of a pigeon or a red-breasted robin with a profile of an anorexiclly thin person and get a rough idea. Anchor the eyeballs and the ankles, let the rest morph.... the human waist would have to drop almost to knee depth... thighs and shins would be four to six inches long. Also, remember, most birds have hollow bones with a latticelike structure to the calcium for less weight. You'd almost certainly have to sacrifice arms for wings.

Question: How do you repair a human skeleton jaw bone and skull? My wife i a teacher and was given a human skeleton for her classroom. However th jaw bone and skull are broken. How do you repair it?

Answer: When I first saw your question I thought - easy, set them properly and they will grow together. Then I saw the rest of your question. Obviously, she will have to glue or cement them together. I suggest she get a good picture of the human skull and jaw bone so she gets it set just right then some good glue (hobby shop probably has good stuff). This is an excellent site with over 10 pages of photographs of the human skull, some with pictures with parts labled. If she needs more on the jawbone, google main page, check "image" in upper left side of page then type human jaw bone and press enter and she should get tons of jaw bone pictures: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=human+skull&btnG=Search+Images&gbv=2

Question: Can you make a duplicate of a skeleton key that is functional? we bought an older house with a skeleton lock and key for the front entrance. The previous owners never used the entrance and only had one key. I would like to use this entrance as our main entrance but do not know if it is possible to make a copy of the key? any ideas where i could do this?

Answer: It is sad to say but skeleton keys do not vary that much from master skeleton keys. I have a historic home and went to Lowes and found a set skeleton keys that opened every door in the house. Which depending on where you live may not be wise.

Question: What kind of animal skeleton did my friend find? My friend just found a very big animal skeleton while trying to track a deer. I know what a cow and horse skeleton look like and it's not that; it's much larger. He swears its a dinosaur, but I seriously doubt that.... It has a very large, kind of rounded head and on the backbone, it has large spikes. Can anyone help me out or give me a good reference website to compare the bones to? Thanks!!

Answer: you should get it look at by a professional it think it could be a dinosaur or some type of reptile.

Question: How would you describe a skeleton in a story? How would you describe a skeleton in a story? Would you just say skeleton?

Answer: the milky remnants of death the blanching remnants of death

Question: How can I find out what kind of skeleton key fit my old doors? My house was built in 1941 and it has the original (interior) doors with skeleton key locks.

Answer: Contact a locksmith and have them come out to the house. They have a special blank made of soft metal that they can insert into the door and then file the places that are marked by the lock until they make you a new key. Chances are that most of the doors will use the same key. It will be well worth the time and expense.

Question: What classifies a skeleton as a lizard vs mammal? Pretty much, I just want to know the significant difference that classifies a lizard's skeleton apart from birds, mammals, anything. I know birds have the more spongey like bone in the center of their bones, but what sets lizards apart? How can you tell what animal's bone you found in your backyard if you didn't know what the shape of it was?

Answer: If you have the skull, it should be easy to tell the difference. Reptile skulls have teeth that are usually near the same size, are perched on top of the jaw (acrodont if you want to be technical) or on the side (pleurodont), and are mostly replaced as needed throughout life (polyphyodont). Mammal teeth are usually only replaced once as milk teeth fall out. Mammal teeth are usually specialized (canines, molars, etc.) instead of being all one size. They are also implanted in sockets, usually with roots (thecodont). There are other differences you can look for in the skulls, but the teeth are the easiest. If you are missing the skull, but can tell how the rest of the skeleton is put together, look at how the legs rest. Think of an alligator: the legs come out the side, instead of attaching so the legs are more downwards, like cats, dogs, horses, etc.. If you found a single bone, it would be difficult to tell what it is from, unless it is a skull. Try taking it into a university or life sciences museum to see if anyone there can help you identify it. Edit: Oikos is quite right about crocodilians :)
