Lab 4 Flashcards
differentiate the axial and appendicular skeleton
where is the sternum found?
in the thoracic cage
identify the clavicle and the components of the sternum
give the functions of the components of the sternum
label the manubrium, body, xiphoid process, jugular notch, and sternal angle
give the functions of the jugular notch and sternal angle
what aspect of the sternum articulates with the clavicle?
The manubrium of the sternum articulates with the clavicle at the clavicular notches, located on the superior sides of the manubrium.
This forms the sternoclavicular joint, which connects the axial skeleton to the appendicular skeleton.
why would identifying the location of the xyphoid process be important for health care providers?
Identifying the location of the xiphoid process is important for healthcare providers because it serves as a landmark to avoid injury during procedures like CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation). Proper hand placement for chest compressions is positioned above the xiphoid process to prevent fracturing it, which could damage underlying organs like the liver or diaphragm.
identify the scapula, humerus, radius and ulna
identify the scapula, humerus, radius and ulna (anterior view)
give the function of the scapula, humerus, radius and ulna
identify head, tubercle, articular facets
identify the femur, patella, tibia, fibula
identify acetabulum, iliac crest and anterior superior iliac spine
find head, greater and lesser trochanter, neck, lateral and medial epicondyles and lateral and medial condyles
find medial/lateral condyles, tibial, and medial malleolus
fill in the blanks
fill in the blanks
what kind of cartilage comprises the articular cartilage
The articular cartilage is composed of hyaline cartilage. This type of cartilage is smooth and resilient, providing a low-friction surface to facilitate joint movement and cushioning the bones to absorb shock during activities
what are the ligaments of the acromioclavicular joints
identify the Acromioclavicular Ligament, Coracoclavicular Ligaments, Coracoacromial Ligament.
differentiate separated and dislocated shoulders
fill in the blank
which position is the hip the most vulnerable to dislocation and why
just gonna leave these pics here
what is the major polysaccharide carbohydrate that provides the slippery aspect of synovial fluid
The major polysaccharide carbohydrate that provides the slippery aspect of synovial fluid is hyaluronic acid (also called hyaluronan). It is a key component of synovial fluid, contributing to its viscosity and lubrication, which reduces friction between articulating joints and helps protect the cartilage during movement.
where does the MCL attach and what role does it play in knee function
what type of cartilage can be found inside the joint
does articular cartilage have blood supply of innervation. how does that affect the process of tissue repair
