Bones/ Cardio Flashcards
Long bones
tubular (example - humerus)
Bone markings
appear wherever tendons, ligaments, and fascias are attached or where arteries enter bones
Bone markings - tuberosity
large rounded elevation
Convergent muscles
arise from a broad area and converge to form a single tendon (pec major)
Multihead or multibellied muscles
have more than one head of attachment or more than one contractile belly (triceps brachii)
Bone markings - fossa
hollow or depressed area
Bone markings - epicondyle
eminence superior or adjacent to a condyle (lateral epicondyle of humerus)
Bone markings - trochanter
large blunt elevation
Sesamoid bones
develop in certain tendons, are found where tendons cross ends of long bones in limbs; protect tendons from excessive wear, often change angle of tendons as they pass to attachments
Bone markings - crest
ridge of bone (iliac crest)
Flat muscles
parallel fibers with an aponeurosis (external oblique, sartorius)
Flat bones
serve protective functions (flat bones of cranium protect brain)
Irregular bones
various shapes other than long, short, or flat (bones of face)
Bone markings - groove
elongated depression or furrow
Quadrate muscles
4 equal sides (rectus abdominus)
Bone markings - process
extension or protrusion serving a particular purpose, having a characteristic shape or extending in a particular direction (SP of vertebra)
