We know from the examination of the skeletal remains of prehistoric man that the diseases of the bone of thousands of years ago were similar in their manifestations to those same diseases of bone of today.
"I've got a couple of things to show you." "We've found little more than we knew the night of her death. We have completed the dissection of the body. A minute analysis of each organ is now under way, and chemical tests of the body's substances are being made. We found that differences in the skeletal structure were almost as great as those in the fleshy tissues.
To maintain basic fitness it does not matter so much what form of exercise is chosen, as long as it is not damaging to the skeletal system or connective tissues. Many people are unable to run due to foot, knee, hip, or back problems, but almost everyone can walk. Walking outside is better than inside on a treadmill, and walking hills is better than walking on flat ground.
When a person already close to skeletal weight starts fasting, to conserve vital tissue the body goes rapidly into a state of profound rest so it uses very little energy, thus it loses very little weight each day. This degree of resting also helps heal abnormal body parts earlier.
Further, we meet with a group characterised by a special want of tone in the skeletal muscles, by lordosis, by postural albuminuria, and by abdominal and intestinal disturbances of various sorts. We recognise also the rheumatic type of child with a tendency to chorea, and in contrast to this a type with listlessness, immobility, and katatonia.
Much light upon the evolution of language is obtained when we treat the speech of various races as we did the skeletal structures of cats and seals and whales.
"The contractions of the muscles inside the larynx, including the vocal cords, cannot be brought under direct voluntary control. But these contractions can be regulated by the actions of other sets of muscles, viz., those by which the larynx is connected with the skeletal framework of the head, neck, and chest. These latter muscles can all be controlled by direct volition.
Because of the attachment of the striated muscles to the skeleton, and their action upon it, they are called skeletal muscles. As most of them are under the control of the will, they are also called voluntary muscles. They are of special value in adapting the body to its surroundings. Furthermore, they have no striations, and their connection with the nerve fibers is less marked.
Nichi danced with his street clothes on ... wearing his hat, in ghoulish rakishness, tipped down over his eyes ... inter-wreathing his cane with his long, skeletal, twisting legs and arms ... his eyes gleaming cat-like through merest slits.... At three o'clock in the morning we were all drunk. Before we parted we joined in singing shakily but enthusiastically Down in Bohemia Land.
Magnificent brochures were printed, a skeletal biographical dictionary $5 for notice, $50 for a portrait planned, advertisements in leading magazines urged the migration of industry: "contented labor and all local taxes remitted for ten years." These essential preliminaries accomplished, the city itself was laid out, watermains installed, and paving and grading begun.
