Boy 0:00:10.005,0:00:12.644 Mr. Marrow are you getting enough exercise for 0:00:12.644,0:00:23.969 your muscles? It's like you're all bone. Mr. Marrow? Mr. Marrow? Mr. Marrow? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! 0:00:23.969,0:00:36.302 Bill Nye the Science Guy, Bill Bill Bill Bill Bill Nye the science guy. Science rules! 0:00:36.302,0:00:42.559 Bill Nye the science guy. Ernicia is a property of matter. 0:00:42.559,0:00:51.446 Bill Bill Bill Bill Nye the science guy. T minus 7 seconds 0:00:51.446,0:00:59.099 Bill Nye the science guy. bRought to you by bones without them you wouldn't have a leg to 0:00:59.099,0:01:04.580 stand on. bones and muscles available in fine animals everywhere 0:01:04.580,0:01:07.771 do you realize to work these buttons and open 0:01:07.771,0:01:12.476 this door I need every muscle and bone in my body 0:01:12.476,0:01:14.841 that's because they're all working together 0:01:14.841,0:01:22.181 whether your waving, walking, walking funny 0:01:22.181,0:01:31.055 running, jumping, or flying your muscles and bones work together 0:01:31.055,0:01:34.393 to make you move. see there's a skeleton in 0:01:34.393,0:01:38.226 every one of us. we're all a bunch of bones 0:01:38.226,0:01:41.932 this is our extension arm of science. This 0:01:41.932,0:01:46.203 white pieces are like bones and these thin ropes are like 0:01:46.203,0:01:49.919 muscles. now watch what happens when we make this rope 0:01:49.919,0:01:53.970 this muscle shorter. the arm moves this way 0:01:53.970,0:01:57.186 we make this rope shorter the arm moves that 0:01:57.186,0:02:07.142 way. see hoo, haw hoo haw hoo haw hoo haw hoo haw 0:02:07.142,0:02:11.560 no matter which way pushing or pulling the muscles are getting shorter 0:02:11.560,0:02:16.539 they are contracting. Now we have 200 bones on our body 0:02:16.539,0:02:20.439 most of them are controlled with two sets of muscles 0:02:20.439,0:02:24.753 that's what allows us to move and jump and 0:02:24.753,0:02:30.554 hoo haw. Bones form the framework of our body 0:02:30.554,0:02:36.258 ligaments help hold the bones together muscles move the bones 0:02:36.258,0:02:39.723 tendons anchor the muscles to the bones. 0:02:39.723,0:02:44.875 AHHHCHOO. you have tendons all over your body 0:02:44.875,0:02:47.615 as you can see the tendons in the back of your 0:02:47.615,0:02:50.443 hands. those tendons connect these muscles 0:02:50.443,0:02:56.205 with these bones. Isn't that cool? Oh, I've 0:02:56.205,0:03:02.914 gotta go. Whats the breakfast treat that 0:03:02.914,0:03:06.144 sure to please from your pirital bone to your 0:03:06.144,0:03:13.357 flanges. Bone-os, bone-os. Here's a very 0:03:13.357,0:03:15.886 cool experiment that you can do to prove that 0:03:15.886,0:03:18.338 bones have minerals. Next time you eat 0:03:18.338,0:03:20.719 chicken or turkey save the bones. Take a leg bone 0:03:20.719,0:03:23.411 it's the biggest bone and put it in a bowl of 0:03:23.411,0:03:28.504 vinegar. We're wearing safety goggles becauase 0:03:28.504,0:03:33.892 vinegar is an acid. Leave the bones in for a long 0:03:33.892,0:03:37.388 time after 2 months. The acid dissolves all the 0:03:37.388,0:03:40.640 mineral away from the bone. Without minerals 0:03:40.640,0:03:42.785 the bones get soft and easy to bend. You can 0:03:42.785,0:03:52.602 even tie one in a knot. There. [applause] 0:03:52.602,0:04:01.225 hammering looks simple doesn't it? You just 0:04:01.225,0:04:03.723 move your arm, but watch the hammer needs your 0:04:03.723,0:04:05.679 fingers and they are connected to your wrist 0:04:05.679,0:04:07.472 and that's connect to your lower arm and that's 0:04:07.472,0:04:09.593 connected to your upper arm and that's connected 0:04:09.593,0:04:11.521 to your back and that's connected to your 0:04:11.521,0:04:16.142 leg. Look you even need to move your toes to hammer. To even 0:04:16.142,0:04:18.477 do a simply thing like this you need your whole 0:04:18.477,0:04:22.144 body because your bones and muscles are connected. 0:04:22.144,0:04:33.221 Oh, oh ouch ouch. [ominous music] what is that 0:04:33.221,0:04:41.691 over there what is that thing? Ohhh It's the 0:04:41.691,0:04:46.555 science guy! Scared you huh? See sharks don't have 0:04:46.555,0:04:53.300 any bones they're all cartilage soft and rubbery. You have cartilage too in 0:04:53.300,0:05:01.727 your ribs, your ears, and your nose. See how soft it is and rubbery. 0:05:01.727,0:05:32.373 What? [music] 0:05:32.373,0:05:36.305 Without bones, we couldn't hold ourselves up. 0:05:36.305,0:05:43.891 We'd be floppy, like this pancake. We'd just collapse. 0:05:43.891,0:05:47.979 On the other hand, if we're all stiff rigid bone, like this 0:05:47.979,0:05:51.218 gingerbread guy then we couldn't move at all we need 0:05:51.218,0:05:54.813 muscles and soft movable parts to get around 0:05:54.813,0:06:00.501 muscles move our bones around. That's how it works, whether you're lifting something 0:06:00.501,0:06:05.062 pushing, or jumping up like a spring, ha ha 0:06:05.062,0:06:08.811 muscles and bones help us move around. coming this 0:06:08.811,0:06:15.973 sunday its the muscle pull. smooth striped and caridac 0:06:15.973,0:06:19.942 we've got it all! Muscles, muscles, and more muscles 0:06:19.942,0:06:22.951 extending and contracting and moving like 0:06:22.951,0:06:26.463 you've never seen before! So grab the kids 0:06:26.463,0:06:29.805 grab the dog and grab the neighbors and grab your ace bandage 0:06:29.805,0:06:32.757 and come on down to the anatomy arena! 0:06:32.757,0:06:44.221 muscles move our bodies. without muscles we couldn't ride a bike. 0:06:44.221,0:06:50.009 or play with dogs [Man: Uh, Bill] or do experiments in the lab. 0:06:50.009,0:06:52.973 [Man: Bill] so our muscles help us move 0:06:52.973,0:06:57.016 because they all work together [man: your not fooling anyone Bill.] 0:06:57.016,0:07:00.354 So as i move the muscles in my arm my biceps 0:07:00.354,0:07:05.109 i'm also moving all the other muscles in my body 0:07:05.109,0:07:09.054 because they're all connected 0:07:09.054,0:07:20.802 bones! [man: Bill, uh Bill] Muscles!! 0:07:20.802,0:07:23.357 Those are very fine muscles you have. Of 0:07:23.357,0:07:26.107 course you know these muscles are very important 0:07:26.107,0:07:30.791 they give you the power to move about to do the work in the fields. 0:07:30.791,0:07:33.020 now if we can look inside of you we can see 0:07:33.020,0:07:35.564 the skeleton, the bones of your body. why do you 0:07:35.564,0:07:43.611 have these bones? The best way is to take away the skeleton and see what happens. 0:07:43.611,0:07:49.184 look out! down you go you see you really need that skeleton 0:07:49.184,0:07:51.222 that's the framework that holds your body up. 0:07:51.222,0:07:53.719 Did you know that teeth are the strongest 0:07:53.719,0:07:56.028 bones in the skeleton. There are 3 bones 0:07:56.028,0:08:01.691 in the ear, the hammer, the anvil, the stirrip. There are over 600 separate muscles in the body. 0:08:01.691,0:08:06.448 now you know!! Our bodies are like machines. 0:08:06.448,0:08:09.246 or machines are a lot like our bodies. when 0:08:09.246,0:08:13.388 a mechanism moves they have joints. like this 0:08:13.388,0:08:16.813 door has a hinge. we have hinge joints in 0:08:16.813,0:08:29.907 our fingers and our jaws. Ahhhhhh! 0:08:29.907,0:08:32.451 [skeleton: Hello there Bill] our bones and muscles 0:08:32.451,0:08:35.389 let us move our joints. Please consider the 0:08:35.389,0:08:43.076 following. 0:08:43.076,0:08:46.442 So in our hand, we have hinge joints. Like the 0:08:46.442,0:08:52.084 hinges on a gate. Also in our hands we have a 0:08:52.084,0:08:54.440 special joint called the saddle joint, in our 0:08:54.440,0:08:58.043 thumb. It allows our thumb to go this way 0:08:58.043,0:09:03.753 or this way. 2 directions 1 joint. cool! 0:09:03.753,0:09:08.697 also in our body we'll find ball socket joints 0:09:08.697,0:09:13.499 the kind we see in a tv. Ball and socket joints 0:09:13.499,0:09:17.860 in our body are in our hips. look at our 0:09:17.860,0:09:24.079 hips move in all different ways. 0:09:24.079,0:09:32.520 In our backs, we have swervy joints a whole bunch of them. Our backs slide 0:09:32.520,0:09:35.529 theres in joints in our body that don't move at all. 0:09:35.529,0:09:41.959 fixed joints. There's fixed joints in your skull, but they don't move. all the 0:09:41.959,0:09:44.410 different joints in our body let our bodies move 0:09:44.410,0:09:47.305 all different ways. Thanks for joining me 0:09:47.305,0:10:46.031 I mean joint-ing me on consider the following. 0:10:46.031,0:10:48.759 introducing a collection of music so spine 0:10:48.759,0:10:51.409 tingling it can be brought to you only by 0:10:51.409,0:10:56.779 Deutsch gramabone.

If I din't have a spine I couldn't stand it. Because I couldn't stand! 0:11:14.197,0:11:17.331 Yo cranium, clavicle, and sternum you've got 0:11:17.331,0:11:22.203 you got over 200 bones why don't you learn them. All these and many many more 0:11:22.203,0:11:26.909 you realize what you're doing, don't you? 0:11:26.909,0:11:29.914 Yea, I'm cracking my knuckles in your face. 0:11:29.914,0:11:32.518 Actually you're pulling your bones apart and letting air 0:11:32.518,0:11:38.611 bubbles between your joints. I am? 0:11:38.611,0:11:41.596 I'm Tim Eng I work for Nike sport research 0:11:41.596,0:11:43.395 lab and we have fun here and try to find 0:11:43.395,0:11:46.424 the science behind the shoes. 0:11:46.424,0:11:48.298 Big part of my job is learning how to distribute 0:11:48.298,0:11:50.766 the pressure beneath the foot to minimize the 0:11:50.766,0:11:55.363 impact and shock up into the bones and muscles 0:11:55.363,0:11:57.361 with the bare foot we can see how much pressure 0:11:57.361,0:11:59.198 is beneath the heel, the ball of the foot and 0:11:59.198,0:12:01.566 the big toe. with a well design shoe we can 0:12:01.566,0:12:03.735 distribute the pressure over the foot so that 0:12:03.735,0:12:05.642 we can absorb some of the shock that goes 0:12:05.642,0:12:09.182 through the bones and muscles of the legs. 0:12:09.182,0:12:10.981 with the shoe we can see the high pressure 0:12:10.981,0:12:13.755 beneath the heel are gone and force of pressure 0:12:13.755,0:12:17.796 is distributed evenly. good shoes fewer 0:12:17.796,0:12:25.111 injuries! 0:12:25.111,0:12:28.658 Bile Nye!!! it's easier to smile than it is 0:12:28.658,0:12:30.672 to frown. That's because you only need 0:12:30.672,0:12:35.352 17 muscles in your face to smile, but it takes 0:12:35.352,0:12:43.700 43 muscles to frown. Ouch! that was my foot! 0:12:43.700,0:12:56.016 You never knoww when you're going to need more energy, less energy to smile! See ya! 0:12:56.016,0:12:59.195 Did you know that...a sparrow has more bones in it's neck 0:12:59.195,0:13:01.943 than a giraffe does. The largest bone ever 0:13:01.943,0:13:05.928 found was the 7 ft long brachiosaurus arm bone. 0:13:05.928,0:13:09.114 Birds have hollow bones, which are light, so they can fly. 0:13:09.114,0:13:11.456 Now you know!! ladies and gentlemen, I 0:13:11.456,0:13:16.530 present the bone. Although bones come in all different shapes and sizes, they 0:13:16.530,0:13:20.200 are basically the same 3 things. On the outside 0:13:20.200,0:13:24.707 is a hard membrane called the periosteum, 0:13:24.707,0:13:30.948 and underneath that is a layer called the compact bone. that's the layer a dog really likes. 0:13:30.948,0:13:34.667 then on the inside the soft cancellous bone 0:13:34.667,0:13:39.090 sometimes called the spongy bone. see dogs 0:13:39.090,0:13:44.199 aren't into sponges, but dogs do like bones 0:13:44.199,0:13:47.934 Bones are apart of you, part of what keeps you 0:13:47.934,0:13:59.380 kicking. and kicking, part of what keeps you 0:13:59.380,0:14:05.845 kicking. Nice job! I got a bone to pick with you. When you're born you have 0:14:05.845,0:14:09.284 about 350 bones. There not all bones, 0:14:09.284,0:14:14.905 there's cartilage, that's what your ear is made of, and your ears. 0:14:14.905,0:14:18.591 anyway cartilage fuses together to make bones 0:14:18.591,0:14:24.431 your skull starts as several different plates and ends up as 1 big bone. 0:14:24.431,0:14:26.807 So by the time your my age you only have 0:14:26.807,0:14:30.019 200 bones. But you started out with 350, isn't 0:14:30.019,0:14:32.375 that wild. hey listen i'm not pulling your 0:14:32.375,0:14:39.641 femur. that's a bone gag. she loves those bones jokes, don't ya. 0:14:39.641,0:14:46.539 oh please. to the bone mobile. 0:14:46.539,0:14:49.402 [Moo] Hey, leave that cow alone. I'm bone 0:14:49.402,0:14:55.033 boy! but i was going to milk it. then you 0:14:55.033,0:15:01.478 know that milk is a strong source of calcium. I'm bone boy!! 0:15:01.478,0:15:04.487 Ahh calcium. [tink tink on glass] Milk is a 0:15:04.487,0:15:08.042 good source of calcium and other minerals 0:15:08.042,0:15:11.240 is what help make your bones so strong. 0:15:11.240,0:15:14.770 here's a t-bone from a t-bone steak and here's 0:15:14.770,0:15:17.924 a piece of aircraft aluminum 0:15:17.924,0:15:20.404 you hold them like this they have the same 0:15:20.404,0:15:23.676 sizes and shape, which one is stronger 0:15:23.676,0:15:26.077 take a look, we've mounted them both on this 0:15:26.077,0:15:31.023 t-stand of science. t-bone, t-stand, haha let's 0:15:31.023,0:15:33.692 put some heavy weights on them. this would 0:15:33.692,0:15:39.133 be a couple of liters of heavy soft drink. 0:15:39.133,0:15:42.793 they both bend down about the same amount. 0:15:42.793,0:15:45.336 that's not all there is to having bones 0:15:45.336,0:15:50.942 you playing soccer and get hit in the ribs in the t-bone 0:15:50.942,0:15:53.141 watch, we'll simulate getting hit in the bone 0:15:53.141,0:15:58.485 with this pair of plyers, t-bone pretty strong 0:15:58.485,0:16:05.341 aircraft aluminum not so strong. see it a 0:16:05.341,0:16:11.021 good thing you're made of bone. 0:16:11.021,0:16:15.072 a real good thing. milk a strong source of 0:16:15.072,0:16:30.118 calcium. I'm bone boy. 0:16:30.118,0:16:32.274 wrestling has a lot of do with balance and 0:16:32.274,0:16:35.980 strength, speed, agility and moving joints the 0:16:35.980,0:16:57.638 wrong way. It's a lot of fun! 0:16:57.638,0:17:05.739 Now what? By doing this bending the knee joint the opposite way 0:17:05.739,0:17:08.051 Elbows bent like this by putting more pressure 0:17:08.051,0:17:10.490 on it the joint, it'll pull away from the 0:17:10.490,0:17:14.852 shoulder and causes him to have pain. 0:17:14.852,0:17:24.596 wrestling is painful, but it's fun! 0:17:24.596,0:17:28.053 I win! 0:17:28.053,0:17:30.509 Your back bone isn't 1 single bone, it's 0:17:30.509,0:17:34.685 actually 33 small bones stacked on top of each 0:17:34.685,0:17:37.982 other. small bones are called vertebra 0:17:37.982,0:17:40.178 and they're hollow they protect your spinal 0:17:40.178,0:17:42.484 cord the bundle of nerves that run down 0:17:42.484,0:17:45.300 your back. Now the spinal column supports 0:17:45.300,0:17:49.827 your whole body. a bunch of gliding joints 0:17:49.827,0:17:53.310 they glide on each other because each vertebra 0:17:53.310,0:17:57.609 separated by a soft squishy disk called cartilage. 0:17:57.609,0:18:00.364 the same stuff you have in your nose. 0:18:00.364,0:18:04.270 so your spinal column has a whole bunch of gliding joints. that's what makes you flexible. 0:18:04.270,0:18:10.375 you can i have 33 vertebra a big snake like thi 0:18:10.375,0:18:12.779 has over 400. thats why snakes are so 0:18:12.779,0:18:15.582 flexible. you know Mr. Python that's a great 0:18:15.582,0:18:19.654 looking backbone.
