BONES Flashcards
PARANASAL SINUS
-hollow portions of bones surrounding the nasal cavity
functions of paranasal sinuses
//lightens the skull
//give resonance & amplification to voice
THE HYPOID BONE
-the only bone that does not articulate with another bone
-serves as a movable base for the tongue
-aids in allowing speech
PELVIC GIRDLE
-the total weights of the upper body rest on the pelvis
-protects several organs
-reproductive, part of large intestine, urinary bladder
ARCHES OF THE FOOT
-bones of the foot are arranged to form 3 strong arches
-2 longitudinal
-1 transverse
FUNCTIONAL CLASSIFICATION OF JOINTS
-synarthroses- imoveale
-amphiarthroses- slightly movable
-diarthrases- freely movable
STRUCTURAL FUNCTION OF JOINTS
-fibrous joints- generally immovable
-cartilagionous-immovable or slightly movable
-synovial- freely
FIBROUS JOINTS
- bone ends/parts are untied y collagenic fibers
TYPES
-sutures(short fibers)
-syndesomsis, which allows for more movements(longer fibers)
Gomphosis(periodontal ligaments)
MOBILITY
synarthrosis & amphiarthrosis
EXAMPLES
-distal end of tibia & fibula
CARTILOGINOUS
bone ends/ends are united by cartilage
TYPES
-syndondrosis(hyaline cartilage)
-symphysis(fibrocartilage)
MOBILITY
imoblie, slightly movable
EXAMPLES
public symphisis, intervetral joints
SYNOVIAL JOINTS
-bone ends/ parts are covered with ARTICULAR CARTILAGE & enclosed within an articualr capsule lined with synovial membrane
TYPES
-hinge
-pivot
-condyloid
-saddle
-ball & socket
MOBILITY
-diarthrosis depending on joint
-ligaments reinforce joints
SYNOVIAL JOINTS-BURSAE
-bursae// flattened fibrous sacs
//lined with synovial membranes
// filled with synovial fluid
TENDON SHEATH
-elongate bursa that wraps around tendon
INFLAMMATORY CONDITION JOINTS
-busitis- inflammation of bursa usually caused by blowor friction
-tendonitis- inflammation of tendon sheaths
arthritis- inflammatory or degenerative diseases of joints
OSTEOARTHRITIS
-most common chronic arthritis
-most related to normal aging processes
RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS
-autoimmune diseases- the immune system attacks the joints
-symptoms begin with bilateral inflammation of certain joints
-often leads to deformities
GOUTY ARTHRITIS
-inflammation do joints is caused by a deposition of uric acid crystals from blood
-can usually be controlled with diet & reversible
CURVATURES OF THE SPINE
-primary curvatures are present at birth & are convex posterorly
-secondary curvatures are associated with a child’s later development & are convex anteriorly
-anormal spinal curvatures(lordosis) are often congenital
