1.1.a Flashcards
Skeletal system key roles
Stability, shape, protection, movement, blood cell production
Bones
Carpals, metacarpals, phalanges (hand)
Tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges (foot)
Bones
Cranium (head) , clavicle (shoulder), sternum (chest), ribs, radius (arm out), pelvis (becken), femur (Oberschenkel), patella (knee), tibia (leg in)
Bones
Scapula (Schulterblatt), humerus (arm), vertebral column (spine), ulna (arm in), fibula (leg out)
Muscular roles
Respiration
Heat Constricting production
Constricting blood vessels:
Maintaining posture:
Muscles
Deltoids (3x, shoulder), biceps brachii, pectoralis major, rectus abdominis, wrist flexors
Trapezius (nacken), triceps brachii, teres minor & major (Schulter hinten), wrist extensors, latissimus dorsi (back)
Muscles
Iliopsoas (vhügel), leg adductors (brevis, longus & mangus), tibialis anterior (Schienbein)
Gluteus( min, med & max), gastrocnemius & soleus (calf group)
Muscles
Quadriceps (rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, v intermedius, v medialis),
Harmstrings (biceps femoris, semimembranosus, semitendinosus)
Pivot joint
(Neck) enables rotation in one plane
Hinge joint
(Elbow) Movement in one plane; flexion and extension
Saddle joint
(Wrist) Allows most movements, except rotation
Gliding joint
(Ankles) Limited movement, but in all planes, e.g. between tarsals
Candyloid joint
Wrist
Ball and socket joint
(Btw leg and cat) all movement.
Sagittal plane
- Divides the body into a right side and left side
- Forwards and backwards motion
- Plantar-flexion, Dorsi-flexion, flexion and extension - e.g. running, somersault, bicep curl
