Osteology

Osteology is the study of the skeletal system. The skeletal system is composed of the bones of the body, and with the many pieces that make up the whole of its structure, it finds its role within the body as the frame which holds the body to form. Some of the largest bones in the skeletal framework are found in the arms and legs, and some of the smallest bones in the body are found in the oral cavity. The latter are known by different names such as molars, premolars, canines, incisors, and lateral incisors. These unique names all fall under the category of ‘teeth’. The names of the larger bones found in the arms and legs are written as the ulna, the radius, the femur, and the tibia. The two former terms are found in the arm, and the two latter terms are found in the leg. There are also bone structures dedicated to housing and protecting vital organs within the body. The skull is an example, as it is the bone structure which houses and protects one of the most important organs, the brain. The body’s rib cage, found within the thoracic cavity is also tasked with protecting vital organs like the stomach, the heart, and the lungs. All of which are found in the chest cavity and behind the abdominal walls of the lower portion of the body’s upper frame.

Bones also perform many jobs outside of being the body’s frame. Some of which are found in systems like the immune system and the digestive system. Bones aid in white blood cell production, and as a supposed stretch of purpose, they also aid in digestion by means of mechanically digesting nourishment and sustenance which enters the body through the oral cavity. Both of these roles are performed alongside the primary task of holding the body to a frame, and in this compounded role, the skeletal system’s capacity translates to a rich philosophical understanding.

 

When something takes on the task of increasing its activity and capacity within, or as a part of, any entity, the work which is done often evolves to be an intricate design of compounded ability. Within philosophy, the ability to alter, or shift, the capacities of the mind through the application and utilization of knowledge is often depicted as the heeding of wisdom, which, at its basis, may seem rudimentary, but when observed over a period of time, the complexity which inevitably results is often giving of a sustained action that would otherwise be baseless and unfounded via a lack of fundamentals.

 

Wisdom compounds very much like the concept described in the passage above, and the applicability it maintains is something no shorter than amazing. Knowing this, the relevant applications of its work find the appropriate notions as culminations which impart a great amount of enrichment and creativity, in light of the observance and practice of knowledge found present in any philosophical ideation.
