Chapter 6-7 Flashcards
Function of bones
Support Protection Movement Mineral homeostasis Blood production
What bones protect
Cranial bones
Vertebrae
Pelvic girdle
How do bones help with movement
Muscles attached to the bones
How are bones involved in homeostasis
Through minerals Ca++ and PO-4 storage
What do bones produce
Blood cells hematopoiesis in red bone marrow
Spinal abnormalities
Scoliosis
Kyphosis
Lordosis
Scoliosis
Twisted disease
Abnormal rotation of the spine. Results in a lateral curvature. Most often in the thoracic region.
Kyphosis
Hunchback. Is a dorsally exaggerated curvature. Common in elderly people, because of osteoporosis.
Lordosis
Sway back. Accentuated lumbar curvature. Can result from spinal tuberculosis, or osteomalacia.
What does temporary lordosis come from
Those carrying a large load up front. Potbellys pregnancy.
Curvature of the cervical and lumbar
Concave posteriorly
Curvature of the thoracic and sacral
Convex posteriorly
The spine is made up of what sections of bones
Cervical Thoracic Lumbar Sacral Coccyx
How many vertebrae are in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar.
7, 12, 5
Where do the vertebrae become larger and smaller. Why?
Become progressively larger from the cervical to lumbar. They must support greater weight as you go down
Sacrum
Inferior to the lumbar.
Articulates the hip bones
What is the terminus vertebrae column
Coccyx
How do the curvatures of the spine develop?
Cervical and lumbar curvature develop first. Then thoracic and sacrum.
Is your sacrum a few vertebrae?
No, it’s one
What does your sacrum hold
Your coxal bones together
What’s the remnant of our tail bone
Coccyx
What are the names of the first and second vertebrae? C1, C2?
