54
Q

pregnancy

A

exaggeration of spinal curves

55

5 vertebrae, l1-l5, very little movement

57
Q

lordotic

A

inward

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

A

cervical

72
Q

hyperlordosis

A

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

73
Q

poor sitting on posture
