Table of Contents
JOINTS AND BONES.
Table of Contents
LITTLE girls like a jointed doll to play with, because they can bend such a doll in eight or ten places, make it stand or sit, or can even play that it is walking.
Jointed dolls.
As you study your own bodies to-day, you will find that you each have better joints than any dolls that can be bought at a toy shop.
HINGE-JOINTS.
Table of Contents
Some of your joints work like the hinges of a door, and these are called hinge-joints.
You can find them in your elbows, knees, fingers, and toes.
How many hinge-joints can you find?
Think how many hinges must be used by the boy who takes off his hat and makes a polite bow to his teacher, when she meets him on the street.
How many hinges do you use in running up-stairs, opening the door, buttoning your coat or your boots, playing ball or digging in your garden?
You see that we use these hinges nearly all the time. We could not do without them.
BALL AND SOCKET JOINTS.
Table of Contents
All our joints are not hinge-joints.
Your shoulder has a joint that lets your arm swing round and round, as well as move up and down.
Your hip has another that lets your leg move in much the same way.
The hip-joint.
This kind of joint is the round end or ball of a long bone, which moves in a hole, called a socket.
Your joints do not creak or get out of order, as those of doors and gates sometimes do. A soft, smooth fluid, much like the white of an egg, keeps them moist and makes them work easily.
BONES.
Table of Contents
What parts of our bodies are jointed together so nicely? Our bones.
How many bones have we?
If you should count all your bones, you would find that each of you has about two hundred.
Some are large; and some, very small.
There are long-hones in your legs and arms, and many short ones in your fingers and toes. The backbone is called the spine.
Backbone of a fish.
If you look at the backbone of a fish, you can see that it is made up-of many little bones. Your own spine is formed in much the same way, of twenty-four small bones. An elastic cushion of gristle (grĭs´l) fits nicely in between each little bone and the next.
When you bend, these cushions are pressed together on one side and stretched on the other. They settle back into their first shape, as soon as you stand straight again.
If you ever rode in a wheelbarrow, or a cart without springs, you know what a jolting it gave you. These little spring cushions keep you from being shaken even more
