A&P midterm ch. 6,7 & 8 Flashcards
the bones found in the skull are
flat bones
Supination is one type of
rotation
The cranium protects the
Brain
pivot joints may be found in the
vertebral column
bones are a storage place for minerals such as
calcium and phosphorus
the sight of blood cell formation is
Red marrow
immovable joints are found in the
adult cranium
Flexion means
bending
The degree of motion at a joint is determined by
bone shape and joint structure
The bone that forms the base of the skull is the
occipital
The key bone of the skull is the
sphenoid
The only movable bone of the face is the
mandible
The central opening of the vertebrae for passage of the spinal cord is the
foraman
The shoulder girdle consist of two bones
Clavicle and scapula
ribs attached directly to the sternum are called
true
bone of the arm located on the thumb side is called
radius
bone of the wrist are called
carpals
The longest, strongest bone in the body is the
femur
The heel bone is known as the
calcaneus
and inflammation of the bone is known as
osteomyelitis
The muscle system is responsible for
moving the body
skeletal muscle is also known as
voluntary
The muscle responsible for an action in a single direction is called
prime mover
The constant state of partial contraction of muscles is called
muscle tone
The muscle you use to turn your head is the
sternocleidomastoid
muscle in the upper arm that is used as an injection site is the
deltoid
The muscle used in breathing is the
diaphragm
The muscle located on the chest wall is the
pectoralis major
muscle fatigue is caused by a build up of
lactic acid
The muscle on the calf portion of the leg is the
gastrocnemius
each nerve cell has only one
axon
fatty substance that helps to protect the axon is called
myelin
The junction between the axon of one cell and the dendrite of another is called
synaptic cleft
neurons that carry messages to the brain are called
sensory
The nervous system that consists of 12 pairs of cranial nerves and 31 pairs of spinal nerves is called
peripheral
The outermost covering of the meninges is
dura mater
The lumbar puncture must be done below the
second lumbar vertebrae
The frontal, parietal, temporal, and occipital lobes make up the
cerebrum
The part of the brain associated with muscle movement is
cerebrum
The thalamus and hypothalamus are parts of the
diencephalon
frontal lobe cerebrum
speech area
occipital lobe cerebrum
eyesight
hypothalamus
appetite control
temporal lobe
auditory
parietal lobe
receptor for pain touch and so on
cerebellum
maintain balance
thalamus
relay station for nerve impulses
Spinal cord
reflex center
Medulla
respiratory center
pons
site for four pairs of cranial nerves
