characteristics of Female Pelvic Girdle
- pelvis tilted forward
- bones, thinner, lighter smoother
- acetabula, smaller, further apart
- pubic arch — wider
- Sacrum – wider, shorter
- coccyx – more movable, straighter
- pelvic inlet or brim – wider
- Pelvic outlet – wider
characteristics of a male pelvic girdle
- pelvis less tilted forward
- bones, thicker, heavier, markings more prominent
- Acetabula. larger, closer
- pubic arch – narrow
- sacrum - narrow, longer
- coccyx - less movable, curves ventrally
- pelvic inlet or brim – narrow
- Pelvic outlet – narrow
What is the strongest and heaviest bone in the bone
the femur
What guards the knee joint
the patella
Pit of the head attaches a ligament to acetabulum
fovea Capitis
what are the types of epithelial membrane
Cutaneous, mucous, serous
What lines the synovial joints, bursae and tendon sheaths
Synovial membrane
The cutaneous membrane are cells that are….
Dry, water proof, and keratinized
The mucous membrane are epithelial cells that are…
Resting on a layer of connective tissue, are wet, often secrete mucous
Line the body cavities that are closed to the exterior
serous membrane
- no epithelial cells
- composed entirely of connective tissue
- line joint cavities
- secrete synovial fluid
Synovial membranes
what are the primary tissue types
epithelial, connective, nervous, muscle
How many vertebrae are in the Sacral Curvature?
5 fused vertebrae
How many vertebrae are in the Coccyx vertebrae
4 fused vertebrae
Where are vertebral disks found in the vertebrae?
between the body portions of individual vertebrae
