Bio107-ch6&7pt1 Flashcards
Axial skeleton (4 structures)
“axis” of body
skull, vertebral column, ribs, sternum
Appendicular skeleton (3 kinds)
appendages
- Limb girdles
- Long bones
- Manus & Pes
Limb girdles (3 kinds)
connect long bones to axial
- Scapula & Clavicle
- Pelvis
Long bones (2 kinds)
- Upper- humerus, ulna, radius
2. Lower- femur, tibia, fibula
Manus
hand
Pes
foot
Classification of bones by shapes (4)
- Long bone- humerus
- Irregular bone- vertebra
- Flat bone- sternum
- Short bone- talus
Projection sites of MUSCLE & LIGAMENT attachment:
Tuberosity
large rounded projection
may be roughened
Trochantar
very large, blunt, irregularly shaped process (femur)
Line
narrow ridge of bone
less prominent than crest
Tubercle
small rounded projection or process
Epicondyle
raised area on or above condyle
Projections that help to form JOINTS:
Head
bony expansion carried on a narrow neck
Condyle
rounded articular PROJECTION
Foramen
round or oval OPENing through a bone
Meatus
canal-like passageway
Fosa
shallow, basin-like DEPRESSION in bone
Functions of the Skeleton (5)
- Support for soft tissues
- Muscle attachment
- Protection from mechanical injury
- Calcium storage
- Hemopoiesis in red bone marrow (blood cell formation)
How to bones form? (2)
- Endochondral Bone Formation
2. Intramembranous Bone Formation
Endochondral Bone Formation
HYALINE cartilage is gradually replaced by BONE tissue
