The term posterior is a relative and comparative directional term that is used to describe that a bodily part or anatomical structure is further behind another bodily part or anatomical structure. For example, the lungs are posterior to the ribs. Superior and Inferior Relationships Calcaneus and Talus. Body weight is carried mostly by the two largest tarsals, the calcaneus, or heel bone, and the talus (ankle), which lies between the tibia and the calcaneus.

Make good use of the study materials that accompany the Anatomy and Physiology textbook. Nursing students can test their knowledge of the information that they have studied by using these resources. Students can also decide what content needs revisiting based on their knowledge of the study materials. That’s because both types of authors are covering almost the same topic.

Ameboid motion. Once they have “caught the scent”, the WBCs move through the tissue spaces by ameboid motion (they form flowing cytoplasmic extensions that help move them along). Osteocytes. The mature bone cells, osteocytes, are found within the matrix in tiny cavities called lacunae.

Protection. Bones protect soft body organs; for example, the fused bones of the skull provide a snug enclosure for the brain, the vertebrae surround the spinal cord, and the rib cage helps protect the vital organs of the thorax.
