Anatomy FoM 2 Flashcards
Inorganic salts of bones
60% calcium phosphate
Calcium/Magnesium carbonate
Role of bone cells
Maintain bone
Maintain homeostasis of blood calcium
What is tendon and what is it made of?
Between muscle and bone
Made of parallel bundle of collagen fibres
Aponeurosis
Flattened tendon
Place of secondary cartilaginous joint
- pubic symphysis
- manubriosternal joint
- Intervertebral disc
Occipital condyles
Articulate with atlas
Why vertebral column exhibits curvatures which change during development?
- Weight of head
- Upright posture
- Height difference between anterior and posterior
Scoliosis
Abnormal lateral curvature
Kyphosis
Abnormal antero-posterior curvature
Vertebral foramen occupied by…
Spinal cord and meninges
Role of spinous process
Provides muscle and ligament attachment
Joint between superior and inferior articular process of vertebrae
Synovial plane joint
Mastoid process
Irregular bump below ear to provide muscle attachment
Foramen only in cervical
Foramen transversarium that accommodate vertebral artery and vein
Atlantoaxial joint
rotation (pivot joint)
Atlantooccipital joint
Nod forward and backward
Laminae of sacrum incompletely fused
Spinal canal open to allow access for anaesthetists
Movement of vertebral column
Flexion (bow)
Extension
Lateral flexion
Rotation (only in atlas, axis, thoracic)
Cervical vertebrae is not palpable due to strong ligament …
Ligamentum nuchae
Palpable vertebral column
Vertebra prominens (C7)
Spinous process of T1
Thoracic inlet consisted of
First rib, manubrium, T1
Sternal angle
Lies at second costal cartilage
Palpable
Sternoclavicular joint
Another useful landmark of living anatomy
Joints of clavicle
Sternoclavicular joint
Aromioclavicular joint
(both are synovial plane joint)
Scapula’s joint with thorax
Scapulothoracic joint by ligaments and muscles
Movement of scapula
Protraction
Retraction
Depression
Elevation
Rotation
