Q

What is the articular capsule

A

35
Q

What is the range of motion?

A

Refers to the extent an direction of movement that a joint can achieve. It is a measure of flexibility and mobility in a specific joint or series of joints.

52
Q

How many bones are in the skull

A

Cranium - 8
Face - 14

53
Q

What are long bones?

A

Slightly curved to absorb stress from the weight of the body. Eg. femur, tibia. ulna, radius, phalanges

54
Q

What are short bones?

A

Cube shaped. Eg. carpals and tarsals

55
Q

Flat bones

A

Provide protection as well as an area for muscle attachments. Eg. cranial bones, sternum, ribs

56

A

U-shaped bone located in the neck, above the larynx and below the mandible. Serves as the point of attachment for muscles involved in swallowing and speech production, provides support and stability to the tongue and larynx.

60
Q

What does the vertebral column consist of?

A

7 Cervical vertebrae
12 thoracic vertebrae
5 lumbar vertebrae
1 sacrum
1 coccyx

61
Q

Intervertebral discs

A

Fibrocartilaginous structures located between adjacent vertebrae in the spine. They act as shock absorbers, providing cushioning and flexibility to the spine.

62
Q

Thoracic cage

A

Structure formed by the ribs, sternum and thoracic vertebrae in the spine. Surrounds and protects the organs of the chest.

63
Q

How many pairs of ribs are there?

A

12 pairs

64
Q

How many true ribs are there?

A

7 pairs - they have costal cartilage that attaches them directly to the sternum.
The remaining 5 pairs are false ribs.

65
Q

How do false ribs attach?

A

the 8th, 9th and 10th pair attach onto the 7th pair of ribs. Pairs 11 and 12 are floating ribs as the costal cartilage does not attach to the sternum.

66
Q

What are sternocostal joints?

A

The joints formed between the sternum and the costal cartilages of the true ribs. They are relatively immobile fibrous joints, allowing minimal movement.

69
Q

How do skeletal muscles produce movement?

A

They exert force on tendons which then pull bones or other structures

70
Q

What is the Origin in relation to muscle?

A

The attachment of a muscles tendon to the STATIONARY BONE.
The origin is usually proximal

71
Q

what is the Insertion in relation to muscle?

A

The attachment of a muscles other tendon to a MOVEABLE BONE.
The insertion is usually distal. It’s pulled towards the origin.

72
Q

What is the middle part of the muscle called?

A

The belly.
