how many bones do most adults have 206
axial skeleton consists of the following bones Skull, spine or vertebral column, and thorax, or ribs
Describe the sinuses and how do sinuses produce sound production 4 pairs of sinuses filled with air open into the internal nose; they lighten the skull and act as resonators for a sound production

Muscle tone A continuous state of partial muscle contraction in which muscles are at their optimal resting
Threshold A minimum voltage needed to cause muscle fiber contraction
What affects the force of contraction Affected by the size of the muscle, the degree of stretch, and the number of muscle fibers Contracting
