Anatomy B5 W1 Flashcards
Tip of the scapula
Acromion bone
What is the shoulder girdle?
Articulation of the scapula and clavicle at the humerus of the upper limb
What is the acromicroclavicular joint?
Articulation of the acromion bony tip of the scapula and the clavicle
What is the glenohumeral joint?
Ball and socket joint between the humerus and the scapula
What are the 5 bone types?
Long, short, flat, irregular and sesamoid.
What is a sesamoid bone?
Imbedding within a tendon or muscle such as the patella (knee cap) metacarpopharyngeal
What is coxal bone?
Also known as the hip bone
What is a pneumatic bone?
It is an irregular Hollow bone like the maxilla.
What is a flat bone?
Scapula, ribs, sternum and cranial bones for protection and attachment by the muscles
What are the short bones?
Carpals (hand) and tarsals (foot) which provide stability and are Cube shaped.
What are the long bones?
They function for leverage. Examples include:
(Lower limb) The femur, tibia, fibula, metatarsal and phalanges
(Upper limb)Humerus, radius, ulna, metacarpals and phalanges
What is the composition of a synovial joint?
Skin with bursa sac above the joint capsule. Outermost layer is the fibrous membrane which has a fat deposit above the synovial membrane. This secretes synovial fluid into the articular cavity between the articular cartilage of two bones meeting.
What is the bursa?
Fluid filled sac below the skin above the joint capsule which reduce friction
Where is cancellous bone found?
At the articular ends of long bone
What are the synarthroses joints?
Immovable bone between fibrous tissue and includes:
-sutures in the skull
-intranasal betwene maxilla and frontal bone.
-synchondroses-hyaline cartilage joint between diaphysis and epiphysis of a single bone
-gomphoses which are the articulation of the teeth with the maxilla or mandible
