| | Skeletal muscle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Skeletal muscles are used to facilitate movement, by applying force to bones and joints; via contraction. | | | These muscles usually have one end (the "origin") attached to a relatively stationary bone, (such as the scapula) and the other end (the "insertion") is attached across a joint, to another bone (such as the humerus). | | | The strength of a body, however, is determined by a number of biomechanical principles (the distance between muscle insertions and joints, muscle size, and so on). |

| | Skeletal Fluorosis |
| | Although skeletal fluorosis has been studied intensely in other countries for more than 40 years, virtually no research has been done in the U.S. to determine how many people are afflicted with the earlier stages of the disease, particularly the preclinical stages. | | | In his landmark study of skeletal fluorosis in cryolite workers in the 1930s, the Danish scientist Kaj Roholm found that some of those with stage I of clinical skeletal fluorosis suffered joint pains and stiffness. | | | By defining the most severe known hazard, crippling skeletal fluorosis, as the only effect it was concerned with preventing, EPA dismissed all degrees of fluoride-induced changes in bones less drastic than crippling fluorosis as not being health concerns... |

| | Skeletal dysplasias are bone and cartilage disorders that affect the growth and development of the skeleton and result in short stature and dwarfism. | | | Established in 1970, the International Skeletal Dysplasia Registry is supported by a grant from the National Institutes of Health and the Steven Spielberg Pediatric Research Center. | | | For more than three decades, the International Skeletal Dysplasia Registry at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center has been working with physicians, patients and families to precisely diagnose these conditions, many of them rare. |
