CHAPTER III THE SKELETON-THE BONES AND JOINTS THE body is built up upon a solid frame, known as theskeleton (Greek skello, I dry). This skeleton is a very wonderful structure. It gives thebody its shape and height and support. At the same timeit is so put together as to allow one part to move upon theother in the many motions of the body. It is made up of firm structures, called tones. These bonesare the very best substances of which a movable frame likethat of the body could be made, as they are very strong,light, and elastic. You can gain some idea of their strengthwhen you are told that they are twice as resistant as solidoak. The separate bones are built up together Like the beamsand pillars of a house. They are united by joints. Insome cases these joints are firm, like those of the housebeams. In other cases they are loose, like the joint of a boomand a mast upon a boat. These loose joints allow of motionof one bone upon the other and are called movable joints.The bNote About ImagesPlease note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work.
