C6 1-5 Flashcards
Hyaline - function/fibers
Support with flexibility and resilience (closely packed/fine collagen fibers)
Elastic - function/fibers
Stretchy, resilient, tolerates distortion, returns to original shape (lots of elastic fibers)
Fibrocartilage - function/fibers
Absorb compressive shock (densely packed collagen fibers)
Hyaline - locations
Ribs to sternum, bone surfaces at synovial joints, nasal septum, trachea, bronchi
Elastic - locations
ear, epiglottis (little bit in ear canal and larynx)
Fibrocartilage - locations
knee and intervertebral discs, pubic symphonis
Axial skeleton - function, location
Bones of skull, vertebral column, rib cage. Protect, support or carry other body parts.
Appendicular skeleton - function, location
Upper and lower limb bones, girdles (shoulder and hip bones.) Locomotion/movement
Four bone classes?
Long, short (incl. sesamoid and sutural/wormian) flat, irregular
Long bones - location
Arm, forearm, thigh, leg, palms, soles, fingers, toes (all limb bones except patella and carpals/tarsals)
Short bones - location
Carpals of wrist, tarsals of ankles
Flat bones - location
Roof of skull, sternum, ribs, scapulae
Irregular bones - location
Spinal vertebrae, bones of pelvis, several skull bones
Sesamoid bones - location
small flat bones that develop inside tendons and most commonly located near joints at the knees, hands, feet. (patella)
Sutural (wormian) bones - location
between the flat bones of the skull
