	Skeleton - LoveToKnow 1911
		In animals the skeleton is usually, and in higher animals always, rendered more rigid and permanent by the deposit in it of lime salts, thus leading to the formation of bone.
		The axial skeleton, from a strictly scientific point of view, should comprise a good deal of the skull as well as the spinal column, ribs and breast bone, but, as the skull (q.v.) is dealt with in a separate article, the three latter structures alone are dealt with here.
		of connexion be tween the axial skeleton and the divergent part of the limb; its anterior segment, the clavicle, articulates with the upper end of the sternum, whilst its posterior segment, the scapula, approaches, but does not reach, the dorsal spines.

	Tarsus (skeleton) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In tetrapods, the tarsi are the cluster of bones in the foot between the tibia and fibula and the metatarsus.
		The joint between the tibia and fibula and the tarsus is called the ankle.
		The tarsus is known as the hock in many domestic mammals.

		The tarsal bones are seven in number, viz., the calcaneus, talus, cuboid, navicular, and the first, second, and third cuneiforms.
		It occupies the middle and upper part of the tarsus, supporting the tibia above, resting upon the calcaneus below, articulating on either side with the malleoli, and in front with the navicular.
		The navicular bone is situated at the medial side of the tarsus, between the talus behind and the cuneiform bones in front.

	Dog Training - Dog's Skeleton
		While we don't need to know every bone in the dog's skeleton, we should be familiar with the main bones or sections of the skeleton.
		The "body" part of the dog's skeleton consists of the skull, ribs and spinal column (atlas, axis, cervical vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae and the caudal vertebrae).
		The hind quarters consist of the pelvis, femur, tibia, fibula, tarsus (hock) and the metatarsus.

		The axial skeleton is the bones of the head, neck, and torso.
		The spine has two main functions, it is a protective shield for the fragile spinal cord, and it forms the backbone of the skeleton.
		The skeleton of the arm is made by the humerus, radius, ulna, carpus, Meta carpus, and phalanges.

		In the skeleton of a male Bosjesman, in the same collection, the proportions, by the same measurement, to the spinal column, taken as 100, are--the arm 78, the leg 110, the hand 26, and the foot 32.
		The line "a' a'" in the foot indicates the boundary between the tarsus and metatarsus; "b' b'" marks that between the metatarsus and the proximal phalanges; and "c' c'" bounds the ends of the distal phalanges; 'ca', the calcaneum; 'as', the astragalus; 'sc', the scaphoid bone in the tarsus.
		The skeleton of the hand exhibits, in the region which we term the wrist, and which is technically called the 'carpus'--two rows of closely fitted polygonal bones, four in each row, which are tolerably equal in size.

		In the appendicular skeleton, electrical stimulation is used in the treatment of fracture nonunion.
		In the appendicular skeleton, electrical stimulation has been used primarily to treat tibial fractures, and thus this technique has often been thought of as a treatment of the long bones.
		Noninvasive electrical bone growth stimulation may be considered medically necessary as treatment of fracture nonunions or congenital pseudoarthroses in the appendicular skeleton (the appendicular skeleton includes the bones of the shoulder girdle, upper extremities, pelvis, and lower extremities).

		Writing the plugin requires a good understanding of networking concepts, an in-depth knowledge of how data is handled by Tarsus (a Vicon software used for motion capture) and how Maya maps incoming data to objects.

		A typical human skeleton file contains around 30 body parts, which adds more degrees of freedom to the body and results in a better looking motion.

		This is missing in certain flightless birds such as the ratites (Emus and Ostriches etc.) It is also missing in Archeopteryx, however scientists believe that in the ratites the sternal keel has been lost as a result of the birds having adopted a flightless life style, whereas in Archeopteryx it had not evolved yet.
		The rigidity has been achieved by fusing groups of vertebrae, fusing the two collar bones to make what we call the 'wishbone' and by the addition of special lateral (sideways) growths on the ribs which rest against the next rib back and thus strengthening the whole ribcage.
		These are also called the femur, tibia and tarsus respectively in an external view of a bird's anatomy.

		Somewhat shaken, you resume your journey and ponder over the events that transpired last night and whether or not you just had intercourse with a ghost also, you promise yourself to find out if there are any bad side effects or such at the local religious temple library.
