How does the skeleton move? Muscles throughout the human body are attached to bones. Nerves around a muscle can signal the muscle to move. When the nervous system sends commands to skeletal muscles, the muscles contract. That contraction produces movement at the joints between bones. 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 skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage. Bones of the human skeletal system are categorized by their shape and function into five types. The femur is an example of a long bone.
The frontal bone is a flat bone. The patella, also called the knee cap, is a sesamoid bone. Carpals in the hand and tarsals in the feet are examples of short bones.
The outside of a long bone consists of a layer of compact bone surrounding spongy bone. Inside a long bone is a medullary cavity filled with yellow bone marrow. Red bone marrow is soft tissue located in networks of spongy bone tissue inside some bones. In adults the red marrow in bones of the cranium, vertebrae, scapulae, sternum, ribs, pelvis, and at the epiphyseal ends of the large long bones produce blood cells.
One way to classify joints is by range of motion. Immovable joints include the sutures of the skull, the articulations between teeth and the mandible, and the joint located between the first pair of ribs and the sternum. Some joints have slight movement; an example is the distal joint between the tibia and fibula. Joints that allow a lot of motion think of the shoulder, wrist, hip, and ankle are located in the upper and lower limbs.
Bones also have a clever construction that allows them to remain lightweight yet strong. This is because they are formed out of multiple layers of three different types of tissue, these are;. Compact bone; this is heavy, dense, strong and thickest at the bones weakest point, usually the centre of the shaft. Cancellous bone; this has a honeycombed appearance and is strong and hard without the weight of compact bone. It is found mainly in the ends of bones.
Periosteum; this is the membrane of connective tissue that lines the outer surface of all bones. It houses the nerves and blood vessels that innervate and nourish the underlying bone and acts as an attachment for tendons and ligaments. As previously mentioned the bones within our bodies come in various shapes and align with each other in order to create the skeleton. The major bones of the human skeleton are shown on the following image with their common names and anatomical names in brackets.
Knowing anatomical names certainly helps when working with other health professionals doctors, physiotherapists but most clients appreciate you using common names and terms that they understand. Major bones of the human skeleton. Although we often look at the skeleton as a whole structure, it can also be divided into two groups, the axial and appendicular skeleton. The axial skeleton consists of the following three parts and can be seen as the non-shaded area in the following diagram.
The main purpose of the axial skeleton is to provide protection for the central nervous system brain and spinal cord and vital organs, such as the heart and lungs. It is also the structure that provides the support and attachment for your arms and legs.
This allows us to do everyday movements such as walking, running, jumping and carrying. The appendicular skeleton consists of the following six parts and can be seen as the shaded area in the adjacent diagram. The main purpose of the appendicular skeleton is to allow movement to occur through the joints of our arms and legs. Without the appendicular skeleton we would be unable to move around and do the activities we do on a daily basis.
The vertebral column spine is a key part of the axial skeleton. It is important to have a good understanding of the spine as it is a common area that people injure and have postural issues with. They can't read, speak, emote, or communicate in any way except to nod, shake their heads, or point.
From this, it seems clear that it is meant to be impossible for skeletons to communicate in any way other than the given nodding, shaking, and pointing. As explained by others it has no basic, default, means of expressing language.
Undeath is not in itself an impediment to speech see: Liches. Therefore you need to extrapolate a bit. The RAW description quoted above seems to imply the power source provides bare-minimum world interaction capabilities. And does not extend to advanced capabilities like mimicking a voice disembodied or otherwise. A skeleton is already magically animated, so if you wanted a specific skeleton to have the ability to speak, there are several creative ways you could explain the phenomenon.
You could have all skeletons speak of that's how you want to run your world, but that'd be your own custom flavoring. I think all of the older versions are more consistent wrt skeletons in this respect; in that the creator can command them via magic and it ignores the medium of the command. If you look at all the lore in total, the answer here would be the skeleton cannot "communicate", speaking or otherwise. The simple answer is no This isn't to say a specific necromancer couldn't craft a "unique breed" of skeletons that have different features, including higher intelligence; but just that the "average" skeleton does not.
Isn't this why we have Speak with Dead spells? The skeleton has no way of making vocalizations so cannot speak audibly but can understand language due to the magic that animates it. You've managed to control the energies that sustain you to allow you speak. You can speak, read and write Common, as well as the language of your creator. Sign up to join this community.
