BW Chapter 1 Bones landmarks, Joints, K-Tape Flashcards
How many bones in the body?
206 bones in an adult body
Proximately 270 bones and in an infant
The two divisions of the skeleton
Axial division
Appendicular division
What is the connective tissue of the skeleton?
Ligaments, cartilage, periosteum
Shoulder girdle
Clavicle, scapula, humorous
Pelvic girdle
Ileum, ischium, pubis
Origin point definition
Origin of the muscle attach to the least movable bones
Insertion point definition
Insertions of muscles attach to movable bones
Functions of the skeleton
Support and protect the vital organs
Store fats and minerals that maintain proper metabolic functioning, growth, and repair
Bones provide stability and leverage to the muscular system during movement
Hip bone
Os Coxae
Joint classification
Structural versus functional
Sad - Acronym
Functional classification
Synarthrotic - Little or no movement
Amphiathrotic - some movement
Diarthrotic - Fall movement
Structural classification
Fibrous (synarthroses)
Cartilaginous (amphiathroses)
Synovial (diarthroses)
Joints by type, Synovial
Six types
Hinge - elbow
Pivot - atlantoaxial joint, radial ulnar joint
Ellipsoidal (condyloid) - Wrist and metacarpal joint/back-and-forth/atlantooccipital joint
Ball and socket - shoulder joint, hip
Gliding – least movable/carpals metacarpals/tarsals metatarsals
Saddle – carpo-metacarpal thumb base joint. The only one
C1 known as
Atlas
Occiput of the skull articulates with the atlas.
Atlanto–occipital joint
Allows rocking and tilting of the head
C2 know as
Axis
Project superiorly a bony landmark called the dens.
Odontoid process
Atlantoaxial joint 50% of cervical rotation
Intervertebral or spinal
Sit between each vertebral body, provide a cushion for the absorption of shock and the transference of body weight to pelvis and legs
Spinal disks of fibrous cartilage pads
Change shape under gravitational forces
Vertebral column
Number of vertebrae in each
7 cervical vertebrae
12 thoracic vertebrae
5 lumbar vertebrae
1 sacrum. 5 fused vertebrae
1 coccyx 4 or fewer fused Semi flexible series of vertebrae
