17
Q

What is the function of flat bones (e.g. Ribs):

A

To protect internal organs

18
Q

What are the functions of long bones (e.g. Femur):

A

They act as a lever and act as sites for blood cell production

19
Q

What is the function of a ligament

A

Function: connects bone to bone, and stabilises the joint during movement

20
Q

What is the function synovial fluid?

A

Function: Reduces friction, nourishes the cartilage

21
Q

What is the function of cartilage?

A

Function: absorbs the shock and allows friction free movement

22
Q

What is the function of the Joint capsule?

A

Function: strengthens the joint secreting synovial fluid

23
Q

What is the function of the bursa?

A

Friction: reduces friction between tendons and bones

24
Q

Give an example of a movement on the sagittal plane

A

A bicep curl (flexing extension movement)

25
Q

Give an example of a movement on the frontal plane

A

Lateral raises (abduction and adduction)

26
Q

Give an example of a movement on the transverse plane

A

Discussing the backward swing the humerus moves further from the midline parallel to the floor as horizontal extension occurs at the shoulder joint (Horizontal flexion and horizontal extension)
