Classification of the Joints. 30. The Bones determine generally the size of the body. They support all the soft parts, as the flesh and vessels, and likewise afford a firm surface for the attachment of the liga- FiG. 13. Fig. 14. Fig, 13.

In their adaptation to their several offices they ex- hibit a perfection of mechanism worthy the infinite mind of the Divine Architect. The use of the various bones is different.

The bones of the upper ex- tremities exceed all others or any instrument of art in the variety of motion and uses to which they can be put. The union of the spinal column with the skull exhibits one of the most ingenious contrivances to be met with in the body. Give the us'^s of the bones. What is said of the union of the Spinal Column with the Skull?
