AnP Chapter 8 (LO7) Flashcards
FUNCTIONS
Provides the body’s framework and foundation
Interaction between bones and muscles create movement
Many muscle, arteries, veins and nerves are named from nearby bones
Provide landmarks for clinicians navigating around the body
Axial skeleton
80 comprice upright, central supporting axis of body (skull, rib cage and vertabrel column)
Appendicular skeleton
126 bones make up limbs, pelvic and shoulder area
Articulations
surface markings, flat or rounded for joint formation, projections for muscle attachments, and depressions/passages for blood vessels and nerves
Condyle
Rounded knob usually fits into fossa on another bone to form a joint
Facet
A flat surface
Head
The prominent expanded end of a bone
Fossa
A furrow or depression
Fovea
A small pit
Sulcus
Groove or elongated depression
Crest
A moderately raised ridge
Epicondyle
A bump superior to a condyle
Process
A projection or raised area
Spine
A sharp, pointed process
Trochanter
A large process; found only on the femur
Tubercle
A small, rounded process
Tuberosity
A rough raised bump usually for muscle attachment
Canal
A tunnel through a bone
Fissure
A long slit for blood vessels and nerves
Foramen
A round opening, usually a passageway for vessels and nerves
Meatus
A tuber-like opening
Sinus
Cavity within a bone

CRANIUM
Bony structure housing the brain
Parietal bones 2
join together at top of head to form top and sides of cranial cavity
Occipital bones 1
forms the rear of the skull
Frontal bone 1
forms forehead and roof of eye sockets (orbits)
Ethmoid bone 1
contributes to walls of orbits, roof/wall of nasal cavity and nasal septum
Cribriform plate
forms part of roof of nasal cavity (allows olfactory nerve reach brain)
Sphenoid bone 1
key part of cranial floor plus floor and walls of the orbits
Sella turcica
houses pituitary gland
Temporal bones 2
form sides of cranium/ part of cranial floor also inner/middle ear
External auditory meatus
Mastoid process
Zygomatic arch
Styloid process
External auditory meatus (opening to ear)
Mastoid process (prominent lump behind ear)
Zygomatic arch (cheek bone)
Styloid process (attachment point for several neck muscles)
SUTURE LINES
Immovable joints that join the skull together
Coronal suture
joint between the parietal bones and the frontal bone
Lambdoid suture
the line of articulation between the parietal and occipital
Squamous suture
runs along the top edge of temporal bone
Sagittal suture
joint between the right and left parietal bones
