Thoracic (front) Limbs
What is Saphenous
Pelvic (back) Limbs
What’s the difference between Thoracic vs pelvic limb
Thoracic is the front legs
Pelvic is the back legs
Skeletal System (Axial Vs Appendicular)
Axial
Bones found on the midline or attached to it (ribs skull vertebral column and sternum)
Appendicular
Bones of the limbs (humerus femur)
What does this system Include
All bones and joints of the body
What is the function
-Support soft tissues of the body
-Protect vital organs (Heart)
- act as levers for muscle attachment
-store minerals
-produce blood cells
Muscular System - Skeletal, Smooth, Cardiac
Skeletal
voluntary (attached to bones to cause movement), ie biceps triceps hamstrings
- Function is it produces movement of entire body or parts
Smooth
involuntary, ie arteries veins GIT reproductive system bladder
- Function is it maintains posture
