Functional anatomy, muscles, bones, joints, planes Flashcards
What are the 5 types of bones?
- flat
- long
- short
- irregular
- sesamoid
What is the function of flat bones? provide an example.
They protect internal organs and provide large areas for muscle attachment.
eg. ribs, pelvis, skull
what is the function of long bones?
They support weight and facilitate movement.
eg. femur, phalanges
what is the function of short bones?
They provide stability and some movement.
eg. carpals in the wrist, tarsals in the ankle.
What is the function of irregular bones?
They vary in shape and structure and help protect organs.
eg. bones of the pelvis, vertebrae,
What is the function of sesamoid bones?
They reinforce and protect tendons from stress and wear. They are embedded in tendons.
eg. the patella
What are the five functions of the skeleton?
- shape - stable shape enables essential functions.
- Support - keep the body upright and structured.
- movement - enable us to move
- protection of internal organs - protect internal organs from damage
- blood cell protection - anti bodies
what attaches bone to bone?
Ligaments e.g. medial collateral in the knee
What attaches muscle to bone?
Tendons. e.g. Achilles
What is the name of the plane that halves the body vertically down the midline (symmetrical)?
The sagittal plane
What is the name of the plane that divides the body vertically, separating the front and back of the body? (not symmetrical)
The Frontal plane OR Coronal plane
What is the name of the plane that divides the body horizontally, separating the superior part from the inferior part?
The transverse plane
What is anterior body position?
At or near the front of the body. (frontal plane)
What is posterior body position?
At or near the back of the body. THINK posture=back
What is the midline?
An imaginary vertical line down the middle of the body
What is lateral body position?
farther from the midline
IF HANDS HELD OUT, THUMB IS LATERAL TO PINKY FINGER. PINKY IS MEDIAL.
What is medial body position?
closer to the midline
what is superior body position?
Toward the head/upper part of a structure
What is inferior body position?
away from the head, OR the lower part of a structure
what is proximal body position?
nearer to the origination of a structure
EG-SHOULDER IS PROXIMAL TO HAND (IF HELD OUT)
what is distal body position?
farther form the origination of a structure
HAND IS DISTAL TO SHOILDER IF HELD OUT
name the axis that cuts the body horizontally
transverse axis
name the axis that cuts the body vertically
longitudinal axis
name the plane that cuts the body in half horizontally
traverse plane
name the plane that cuts the body vertically through the midline so that it is symmetrical on both sides
the sagittal plane
name the plane that cuts the body vertically separating the front of the body with the back. also known as coronal plane.
frontal plane
REMEMBER separates FRONT and back = FRONTal
name the 12 types of body movement (the learned ones)
two extras listed at bottom

- adduction
- circumduction
6.rotation
7.supination
8.pronation
9.Dorsi flexion
10.plantar flexion - depression
- elevation
-inversion
-eversion
EXERCISE - starting from the head, name all of the bones
cranium, mandible, cervical vertebrae, clavicle, scapula, thoracic vertebrae, sternum, ribs, humerus, lumbar vertebrae, radius, ulna, sacrum, coccyx, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges, femur, patella, tibia, fibula, calcaneus(heal bone ), tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges
what are the 5 functions of the muscular system?
1-voluntary and reflexive movement
2-skeletal stability
3-blood circulation
4-internal organ function and organ protection
5-body temperature regulation
How does the muscular system produce movement - function 1
contraction of the skeletal muscles pulls on bones and produce gross/fine movements.
How does the muscular system provide skeletal stability and organ protection? function 2
skeletal muscles reinforce structure and provide stability by holding bones together. the skeletal muscles cushion the body’s internal organs from external forces applied to the body.
how does the muscular system aid blood circulation? function 3
Cardiac muscles aid the pumping action of the heart
how does the muscular system aid internal organ function? function 4 PROVIDE EXAMPLE
internal organs contain smooth muscles tissues which contracts automatically to support their normal function. for example - smooth muscle tissue in the intestines produce contractions to help propel food through the digestive tract.
how does the muscular system control body temp regulation? function 5
skeletal muscles contain generate heat required to maintain a normal body temperature.
-when the body temp decreases, skeletal muscle activity q=automatically increases (shivering).
- when the body temp increases, smooth muscle cells in surface blood relax increasing blood flow and release heat through the skin.
