50
Q

What does gross mean in anatomy

51
Q

What does sexually dimorphic mean

A

Different between male and female

52
Q

What are the functions of the skeleton

A

Support, Movement, Protection, Storage, Red Blood Cell Formation

53
Q

What are the two types of bone tissue called

A

Compact and cancellous

54
Q

What is the purpose of compact bone

A

Good at transmitting force in one direction, strong

55
Q

Where is compact bone found

A

Found down the shafts and most long bits of the bone

56
Q

What is the purpose of cancellous bone

A

Shock absorbing, resists/channels force from multiple directions (it is light and spongy, criss cross pattern takes the force from multiple directions)

57
Q

Where is cancellous bone found

A

Often found at the ends of bones

58
Q

What are the four bone classes

A

Long, Short, Flat and Irregular

59
Q

How do you identify long bones

A

They are longer than they are wide

60
Q

What are the three sections of long bones

A

Proximal epiphysis, Diaphysis and Distal epiphysis

61
Q

What is the medullary cavity?

A

Where red blood cell formation occurs (inside the bone).

62
Q

How do you identify short bones

A

They are close to equal width and length

63
Q

What is a short bone’s main role

A

Weight bearing from multiple directions (hence they are made of mostly cancellous bone)

64
Q

What is a long bones main role

A

Act as levers for movement/Good at facilitating movement

65
Q

What is a flat bones main role(s)

A

Muscle attachment and protection

66
Q

What is a flat bone made of

A

Mostly compact bone, but some cancellous too

67
Q

What is an irregular bone

A

Any bone that doesn’t fit into the other three bone categories. They have various shapes and functions.

68
Q

What are the divisions of the skeleton

A

Axial skeleton and Appendicular skeleton

69
Q

What makes up the axial skeleton

A

skull, sternum, ribs, vertebral column, sacrum, coccyx.

70
Q

What makes up the appendicular skeleton

A

the bones of the limbs

71
Q

What is the axial skeletons main role

A

protection of vital organs

72
Q

what is the appendicular skeletons main role

73
Q

What are the two sections of the skull

A

Cranium (vault) and Facial bones

74
Q

What is the facial bones role

A

To protect and support the sensory organs

75
Q

What are the divisions of the vertebral column

A

Cervical, Thoracic and Lumbar

76
Q

How many vertebrae are in the cervical section of the vertebral column

A

7 (breakfast at 7)

77
Q

How many vertebrae are in the thoracic section of the vertebral column

A

12 (lunch at 12)

78
Q

How many vertebrae are in the lumbar section of the vertebral column

A

5 (dinner at 5)

79
Q

What other sections make up the vertebral column

A

Sacrum and Coccyx

80
Q

What is the rib cage made of

A

Ribs and sternum

81
Q

How many ribs are there

A

24 Total. 12 on each side. They connect to each vertebrae in the thoracic section

82
Q

What are the four regions of your limbs

A

Arm, forearm, thigh, leg (top to bottom)

83
Q

What are the sections of the hand

A

Carpals, Metacarpals, Phalanges

84
Q

How many carpals are there

85
Q

How many metacarpals are there

86
