Applied Anatomy and Physiology Flashcards
what are the four types of bones
flat bones
short bones
long bones
irregular bones
name all 14 bones
Cranium Sternum Ribs Vertebrae Pelvis Femur Patella Tibia Talus Fibula Ulna Radius Humerus Scapula
what are the 6 functions of the skeleton
Support Protection Movement Shape&Structure Blood Cell Production Storage of Minerals
what is the support function of the skeleton
Provide support for the muscles and vital organs by holding them in place
what is the protection function of the skeleton
Bones act as a rigid shell. protect vital organs and CNS
what is the movement function of the skeleton
Movement takes place at joints where multiple bones articulate. Provides surface for muscle tendons to attach to
what is the Shape&Structure function of the skeleton
Skeleton provides the body with framework to prevent us being a pile of jelly
what is the blood cell production function of the skeleton
Bone marrow is where Red Blood cells, White Blood cells and Platelets are produced
what is the storage of minerals function of the skeleton
Bones store key minerals such as Calcium
what are synovial joints
Freely moveable joints
what are the 9 parts of the synovial joint
Muscle, Tendon, Bursae, Bones, cartilage, Synovial fluid, ligament, synovial membrane, joint capsule
what are the two types of joints
Hinge joint
ball and socket joint
what two movements can happen at a hinge joint
Flexion
Extension
what is the role of ligaments in a synovial joint
stabilise the joint, attach to bones and go througth the middle
what is the role of cartilage in a synovial joint
at ends of the bones to stop bones rubbing against each other
what is the role of tendons in a synovial joint
attach bones to muscles to allow movement
what is the role of the bursae in a synovial joint
a sac filled with liquid to reduce friction between bone and tendon
what is the role of the joint capsule
tissue that stops synovial fluid form escaping and holds bones together
what is the role of the synovial membrane in a synovial joint
lining inside the joint capsule that secretes synovial fluid
what is the role of synovial fluid in a synovial joint
liquid that lubricates the joint
what are the 7 basic movements
flexion extension abduction adduction rotation plantar flexion dorsiflexion
what is dorsiflexion
movement of the ankle that brings the toes towards the body
what is plantar flexion
movement of the ankle that allows the foot to extend
what are the 13 muscles
deltoid rotator cuff pectorals tricep bicep quadricep group hip flexor tibialis anterior latissimus dorsi gluteals hamstring group gastrocnemius
what is an antagonistic pair
two muscles that work together to allow movement
what is the role of the prime mover / agonist
the muscle contracts
what is the role of the antagonist
the muscle relaxes as the agonist contracts
