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
