24 Bones?
Cranium, Clavicle (collar bone), Phalanges, Metacarpals, Carpals, Sternum (breast bone), Ribs, Jaw Bone, Vertebrae, Scapula, Humerus, Radius, Ulna, Pelvis (hip bone), Sacrum, Femur (thigh bone), Patella (knee), Fibula, Talus, Tibia (shin), Tarsals, Phalanges, Metatarsals.
Flat Bones?
Quite larges,
Usually protect vital organs.
Long Bones?
Enable gross movements.
Short Bones?
Enable finer, controlled movements.
Irregular Bones?
Specifically shaped to protect,
For example, the vertebrae are designed to protect the spinal cord.
Bones In The Shoulder?
Scapula,
Clavicle,
Humerus.
Bones In The Elbow?
Humerus,
Radius,
Ulna.
Bones In The Hip?
Pelvis,
Femur.
Bones In The Knee?
Femur,
Patella,
Fibula,
Tibia.
Bones In The Ankle?
Tibia,
Fibula,
Talus.
Radius And Ulna Positioning?
Radius is in front of the ulna.
Tibia And Fibula Positioning?
Tibia is bigger and is in front of the fibula.
Functions Of The Skeleton?
Support, Protection, Movement, Shape/Structure, Blood Cell Production, Storage Of Minerals.
Musculoskeletal System?
The name used to describe the muscular and skeletal system working together.
Articulating Bones?
Bones that meet at a joint to enable movement.
Synovial Joint?
Freely movable joints,
Most common type of joint and are located at the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee and ankle,
An area of the body where two or more articulating bones meet.
Whats At A Synovial Joint?
Tendons, Bursae, Cartilage, Synovial Fluid, Ligaments, Synovial Membrane, Joint Capsule.
Joint Capsule?
Tissue that stops synovial fluid from escaping and encloses,
Supports and holds the bones together.
Synovial Membrane?
The lining inside the joint capsule that secretes (releases) synovial fluid.
Bursae?
Sac filled with liquid, floating inside the joint, to reduce friction between the tendon and bone.
Cartilage?
A tough but flexible tissue that acts as a buffer between the bones, preventing bones rubbing together and causing friction.
Synovial Fluid?
A clear and slippery substance that lubricates the joint and stops the bones rubbing together.
Tendons?
Very strong, non-elastic cords that join muscle to bone.
Ligaments?
Bands of elastic fibre that attach bone to bone, keeping the joints stable by restricting movement.
