ANATOMY Flashcards
connective tissue covering of bones
periosteum
explain endochondral ossification
hyalone cartilage verion of bone grows then ossifises
anatomy of bone
epiphysis (head)
epiphysis growth plate
metaphysis
diaphysis (long bit)
flat bones
neurocranium
sternum
long bones
humerus
femur
phalanges
irregular bones
vertebrae
sesamoid bones
patella - tendons
short bones
carpals tarsals e.g. cuboidal
why might femur neck fracture
less compact bone
thin and angled
stages of fracture healing
callus of new bone surrounds fracture
callus remodels
what are adjacent structures
they apply force to develop growing bones shop e.g tuberosities and foramen
axial skeleton
skull
spine
sternum
ribs
appendicular skeleton
pectoral girdle
upper limbs
pevlic girdle
lower limbs
bones of cranial vault
frontal bone
parietal bone, temporal bone, occipital bone
sphenoid bone, temporal bones
bones of viscerocranium
frontal bone
temporal bone, occipital bone
sphenoid bone, temporal bones
facial bones
nasal bone
zygomatic bone
maxilla
mandible
mandible bones
condylar process ramus angle mental foramen mental process coronoid process
vertebral types, numbers and curvature
C1-7 - secondary T1-12 - primary L1-5 - secondary 5 Sacral (1 sacrum, fused) - primary 4 coccygeal (1 coccyx, fused)
C1 ATLAS
no body or spinous process
C2 AXIS
odontoid process - dens
projects superiorly
C7 VERTEBRAE PROMINENS
first palpable spinous process - midline posterior aspect of neck
true ribs
1-7
attach to sternum
false ribs
8-10
attach above to sternum
floating ribs
11-12
no attachment to sternum
