flat bones

A
  • strong flat pieces to protect vital organs
  • sternum, breastbone, cranium
  • base for muscular attachment
  • anterior and posterior surfaces formed of compact bone to provide strength for protection
  • center is cancellous
46
Q

periosteum

A
  • thin protective fiberous sheath around bone except the ends
  • contains blood vessels to bring nutrients and transfer waste away
47
Q

48
Q

how many bones are there

49
Q

long bones grow until

50
Q

bones mature until

51
Q

thoracic curve

52
Q

bone cavity

A
  • medullary cavity running down middle of shaft
  • contains bone marrow
  • produces r&w blood cells
53
Q

5 types of bones

A

-long bones, short bones, irregular bones, sesamoid bones, flat bones

54
Q

pregnancy

A

exaggeration of spinal curves

55
Q

lumbar spine curves

56
Q

lumbar spine

A

5 vertebrae, l1-l5, very little movement

57
Q

lordotic

58
Q

epiphysis

A

ends of bone where it widens to form a joint made of spongy bone

59
Q

ischium

A

spits bones

60
Q

compact bone

A

forms diaphysis, very dense and strong

61
Q

what happens when bone stops growing

A

epiphysian plate fades which leaves a bony structure called epiphysial line

62
Q

cartilage

A

tough smooth tissue that helps reduce friction between bones and provides shock absorbtion to joints

63
Q

diaphysis

A

middle section of the bone

64
Q

thoracic spine

A

12 vertebrae
t1-t12
part of ribs, go small to big

65
Q

hyper-kyphosis

A

-exaggerated rounding of thoracic vertebrae, hunched, anterior shift of head, internal rotated arms, rounded shoulders

66
Q

kyphatic

A

rounding or hump

67
Q

hyper-kyphosis muscular set up

A

short pecs, longer lower trapezeus, short upper trapezeus, longer rhomboids

68
Q

what part of spine is slightly mobile

A

thoracic spine

69
Q

posture

A

optimal posture is the ability to hold yourself in neautral alignment with minimal muscle activity

70
Q

osteoblasts

A

bone builders

71
Q

what is the most mobile part of the spine

72
Q

hyperlordosis

A

exaggerated inward curve of lumbar spine, hollow lower back, makes butt look bigger

73
Q

poor sitting on posture

A

can shorten chest muscles and lengthen back muscles

74
Q

types of long bones

A

femur, humerus, tibia, metacarpals, metatarsals, phalanges

75
Q

elbow

A

primary hinge joint, additional joint that allows pronation and supination

76
Q

cancellous

A

honeycomb structure, spongey bone in epiphysis

77
Q

axial bones

A

skull, cranium, ribs, sternum, spine (core)

78
Q

ilium

A

largest part of pelvis (flared), upper rim is called iliac crest

79
Q

long bones

A

longer than it is wide, growth plates at either end, hard surface of compact bone, spongey innter called cancellous bone containing bone marrow

80
Q

pelvic girdle

A

ilium, pubis, ischium

81
Q

hyaline cartilage

A

covers bone, protects and aids in shock absorbtion

82
Q

pubis

A

pubic bones form together to form cartilaginous joint

83
Q

mineral storage

A

calcium, magnesium, phosphate which add strength and create bone density

84
Q

growth plate (epiphysial plate)

A
  • between epipysis and disphysis
  • fused in adult bone
  • where bone growth takes place
85
Q

lumbar curve

A

concave or hollow curvature

86
Q

appendicular

A

appendages

87
Q

c1

A

atlas bone

88
Q

two sections of bones

A

axial and appendicular

89
Q

short bones

A

wide as they are long, primary function of support and stability, little movement, carpals and tarsals, thin layer of compact hard bone and large amounts of marrow

90
Q

vertebral column

91
Q

sesamoid bones

A

short bones irregular bones embedded in a tendon, patella, pisiform, visually present in a tendon where it passes over a joint which serves to protect the tendon

92
Q

scoliosis

A

s curve of spine, some vertebrae maybe rotated, congenital defect

93
Q

8 weeks post conception, bones do…

A

skeleton bones have already formed in cartilage

94
Q

normal spine alignment

A

4 curves- disperse shock, protect brain from shock

95
Q

sacrum and coccyx

A

5 vertebrae fused together line up with ilium

tailbone

96
Q

c1 and c2

A

pivot joint which allowes neck to rotate

97
Q

why is bone more vulnerable while growing

A

more bone is cartilage, at risk from muscles pulling on tendons

98
Q

ligament

A

tough fiberous tissue taht connects bones to bonestf
