Exam 1 Kines Skeletal

Question 1

Functions of the skeleton

provide support
muscle attachment (movement)–prevent movement

creates an intricate network of levers:

Answer 13

encased in tendon

Question 14

ex. of long bones

ulna, femur, radius, metacarpals, phalanges, etc.

Question 15

ex. of short bones

Answer 15

carpals, tarsals, talus etc.

Question 16

ex. of irregular bone

Answer 16

vertebra

Question 17

ex. of flat bone

Answer 17

scapula, sternum, pelvis, etc

Question 18

ex. of sesamoid bone

Answer 18

patella

Question 19

bone properties

Answer 19

living tissue 
osteoblasts: cells that build bone 
osteoclasts: cells that absorb bones 
60-70% of bone dry weight: calcium 
25-30% of bone total weight: water 

**aging causes progressive loss of collagen & increases brittleness

Question 20

cortical/compact bone

Answer 20

dense, low porosity

5 to 30% nonmineralized tissue (other then calcium)

Question 21

cancellous/trabecular/spongy bone

Answer 21

less dense, high porosity
30-90% nonmineralized tissue
**most outer bone is cortical with cancellous underneath

Question 22

mechanical axis

Answer 22

a straight line that connects the midpoint of the joint at one end of a bone with the midpoint of the joint at the other end
the axis may lie outside of the shaft
**see diagram

Question 23

joint classifications

Answer 23

synarthrodial
amphiarthrodial
diathrodial

Question 24

Synarthrodial

Answer 24

Immovable joints, suture such as skull suture, gomophosis such as teeth fitting into mandible or maxilla (between the bones of the skull)

Question 25

Amphiarthrodial

Answer 25

Slightly movable joints, allow a slight amount of motion to occur - -ankle - -sternum (breathing) - -pelvic bone - -ribs

Question 26

Diathrodial

Answer 26

freely moveable joints structurally synovial joints, composed of sleevelike joint capsules, secretes synovial fluid to lubricate joint cavity **motion in 1 plane-1 degree of freedom (elbow) uniaxial **motion in 2 planes-2 degrees of freedom ( finger) biaxial **motion in 3 planes-3 degrees of freedom (hip, shoulder) triaxial

palm side of hand (bottom of foot)

Question 46

diaphysis

Answer 46

long cylindrical shaft of the bone

Question 47

Question 48

epiphyseal plate

Answer 48
