Anatomy and Physiology Flashcards
Name 7 Bones
- head/neck – vertebrae
- shoulder – scapula
- chest – ribs and sternum
- hip – pelvis
- knee – tibia
- ankle – fibula
Name 6 Functions of the skeleton
- support
- protection of vital organs by flat bones
- movement
- structural shape and points for attachment
- mineral storage
- blood cell production.
Name 13 Muscles of the body
- latissimus dorsi
- deltoid
- rotator cuffs
- pectorals
- biceps
- triceps
- abdominals
- hip flexors
- gluteals
- hamstring group (not individual names)
- quadriceps group (not individual names)
- gastrocnemius
- tibialis anterior.
Name The Structure of a Synovial Joint
- synovial membrane
- synovial fluid
- joint capsule
- bursae
- cartilage
- ligaments.
Types of freely movable joints that allow
different movements
- elbow, knee and ankle – hinge joint
* hip and shoulder – ball and socket.
Name the Six airways
- mouth/nose
- trachea
- bronchi
- bronchioles
- lungs
- alveoli
Whats The Structure of the heart
- atria (left and right atria)
* ventricles (left and right ventricles).
Name the Immediate effects of exercise (during exercise)
• hot/sweaty/red skin
• increase in depth and frequency of
breathing
• increased heart rate.
Name the functions of the skeleton
support
Support: It provides a framework to support the organs and tissues of the body.
Movement: It provides a framework for muscles to attach. Then when the muscles contract they pull on the bones of the skeleton, which act like levers to create movement.
Protection: It protects our internal organs.
What is a joint
A joint or articulation (or articular surface) is the connection made between bones in the body which link the skeletal system into a functional whole. They are constructed to allow for different degrees and types of movement.
Types of bone shapes
All of the bones of the skeleton can be categorized into four types: short, long, flat, and irregular. Each type of bone serves a particular purpose and some types have more than one function
Types of joints
A joint is a point where two or more bones meet. There are three main types of joints; Fibrous (immovable), Cartilaginous (partially moveable) and the Synovial (freely moveable) joint.
