Core 2: The body in motion Flashcards
What does the Skeletal system consist of and it’s function
bone tissue
bone marrow
cartilage
periosteum
To support, movement, mineral support, production an blood cell production
Describe Sutural Bones/Irregular Bones (skeletal system)
protect internal organs
E.g Vertebrae, cranial bone
Describe Short bones (skeletal system)
Provide stability, support, while allowing for some motion
E.g Carpals, Tarsals
Describe Sesamoid bones (skeletal system)
Protect tendons from compressive forces
E.g Patellae
Describe Flat Bones (skeletal system)
Points of attachment for muscles; protectors of internal organs
E.g Sternum, ribs, scapulae, cranial bones
Describe Long bones (skeletal system)
longer than it is wide, Leverage
E.g Femur, tibia, fibula, metatarsals, humerus, ulna, radius, metacarpals, phalanges
How many Bones (skeletal system)
206
Axial skeleton is.. (skeletal system)
major role is protection
Appendicular skeleton is… (skeletal system)
major role is movement
Describe Fibrous joint (skeletal system)
Held by a ligament, no joint cavity
E.g Cranium
Describe Cartilaginous joint (skeletal system)
held together by cartilage, no joint cavity
Describe Synovial joint (skeletal system)
Highly movable, has joint cavity and held together by ligaments separated by synovial fluid in joint cavity
What is a Articular Capsule (skeletal system)
a capsule that encloses the joint cavity
What is a Articular cartilage (skeletal system)
a connective tissue covering the surface of articulating bones
What is Synovial fluid (skeletal system)
a secretion that lubricates and nourishes the articular cartilage
What is Bursa (skeletal system)
a small sac containing synovial fluid, located at friction sites between bones and tendons
Tendons (skeletal system)
muscle to bone
Ligaments (skeletal system)
Bone to bone
Anterior (skeletal system)
Front view
Posterior (skeletal system)
Back view
midline (skeletal system)
Right down the middle
midline
Right down the middle
lateral (skeletal system)
Farther from midline
Medial (skeletal system)
Nearer to the midline
Superior (skeletal system)
Toward head upper part of the structure
inferior (skeletal system)
Away from the head/lower part of a structure
superficial (skeletal system)
Close to the surface of the body
