Ch. 2 Skeletal System Flashcards
5 divisions of vertebral column:
Cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, coccyx
Vertebrae and vertebral column, ribs, scapula, sternum, ischium, Ilium, pubis, and sacrum are all part of what?
Bony thorax
Cervical has how many vertebrae?
7 (am breakfast); C1 thru C7
Thoracic has how many vertebrae?
12 (pm lunch); T1 thru T12
Lumbar has how many vertebrae?
5 (pm dinner); L1 thru L5
Sacral has how many vertebrae?
5 fused vertebrae; S1 thru S5
4 fused units of the vertebrae
Coccyx
Landmarks of the skeletal system: prominences/protuberance (bulge)
Process
Landmarks of the skeletal system: Opening or whole (usually on purpose for something to go through)
Foramen
Landmarks of the skeletal system: body (of bone)
Corpus
Landmarks of the skeletal system: small rounded prominence on bone
Tubercle
Landmarks of the skeletal system: small surface
Facets
Landmarks of the skeletal system: (bones) growing together
Symphysis
Landmarks of the vertebrae: body
Corpus
Landmarks of the vertebrae: small rounded prominence
Tubercle
Landmarks of the vertebrae: opening or whole (for spinal column fluid)
Vertebral foramen
Landmarks of vertebrae: middle prominence
Spinous process
Landmarks of vertebrae: lateral “wings”
Transverse process
Provides foundation for attachment of the legs to the vertebral column
Pelvic girdle
Pelvic girdle includes:
Ischium, ilium, pubis
Pubic symphysis
Joining of the 2 pubic bones
Pectoral girdle includes:
Clavicle, scapula
3 components of the sternum:
Manubrium,
Corpus (body of the sternum),
Xiphoid process
Three classes of ribs:
True ribs, false ribs, and floating ribs
Upper ribs (1-7)
True ribs
Ribs attached to the sternum (8,9,10)
False ribs
Ribs articulate only with the vertebral column (11-12)
Floating ribs
4 components of a rib
Head, neck, shaft, angle
