Q

What are the 6 Functions of the Skin

A
  1. Protection: must be intact.
  2. Sensation: receptors for touch.
  3. Body temperature regulation: dermal blood vessels dilate + constrict in response to environmental temperature.
  4. Metabolism: cholesterol + sunlight → precursor to Vitamin D.
  5. Excretion: H2O, NaCl, N2 wastes.
  6. Immune Function: Langerhans cells begin the immune response

Q

What are the Functions of Bones

A
  1. Support & Protection: encloses the brain, spinal cord & viscera.
  2. Movement: provide levers for muscles.
  3. Mineral storage: calcium & phosphorus.
  4. Blood cell formation: occurs within the red bone marrow.
  5. Triglyceride storage: within bone cavities.

28
Ligaments attach what to what
Bone to Bone
29
Tendons attach what to what
Muscle to bone
30
What is Flexion and Extension
Flexion is bending movement and Extension is reverse of flexion
31
what is Hyperextension
joint extended more than 180 degrees
32
what is Abduction and Adduction
Abduction is movement away from the midline and Adduction is movement toward the midline
33
what is Supination and Pronation
1. Supination: - radius & ulna are parallel. - anatomical position. 2. Pronation: - distal end of radius crosses ulna. - relaxed position.
34
What is Inversion and Eversion
Inversion is the sole of the foot turned medially Eversion is the sole of the foot turned laterally
35
what is Dorsiflexion and Plantar flexion
Dorsiflexion is lifting the toes but keeping the heel on the floor and Plantar flexion is lifting the heel but keeping the toes on the floor
36
