Lab 5 - The Appendicular Skeleton And The Skeletal Muscles Flashcards
What bones is the pectoral girdle composed of?
- Clavicle
2. Scapula
What does the pectoral girdle do?
Attaches the upper limbs to the axial skeleton
What forms the pelvic girdle?
Coral bones that connects the lower limbs to the axial skeleton.
Describe two visible differences between the male and female pelvis.
- The female pelvis has a larger angle in the pubic arch
2. The male pelvis has more pronounced crests due to musculature
Name the two way that joints can be classified.
- Structurally
2. Functionally
Name the three kinds of functional joints?
- Synarthroses
- Amphiarthroses
- Diarthroses
What does it mean for a joint to be synarthroses?
These are immovable joints. The bony edge comes together or interlock forming a strong joint that prevents movement
What does it mean for a joint to be aphiarthroses?
These joints are slightly moveable, a compromise between strength and mobility in the joint
What does it mean for a joint to be diarthrosis?
These are freely moving joints. to achieve this degree of mobility, a diarthrotic joint is significantly less stable that the two previous articulations
Name the three structural classifications for joints?
- Fibrous joints
- Cartilagenous joints
- Synovial joints
How can a fibrous joint be classified?
These are articulations that are held together by dense irregular connective tissue, they do NOT have a synovial cavity, and exhibit little or no movement.
What is the further classifications of a fibrous joint?
- Sutures
- Syndesmoses
- Interosseous membranes
What is a fibrous joint suture?
These joints are only found in the skull, the articulating bones have a thin layer of connective tissue between them and are immovable.
What is it called when a suture fuses into a single unit?
Synostosis
What is syndesmosis?
These joints are further apart than in sutures and joined by ligaments made of dense irregular connective tissue.
Name some examples of syndesmosis.
The distal ends of the tibia and fibula are joined by a ligament that permits slight movements. So amphiarthroses.
What joint is seen between the roots of the teeth and their sockets in the mandible and maxillae?
Gomphosis.
What is interosseous membrane?
Long bones such as the radius and ulna of tibia and fibula are held together together along their length by a sheet of dense irregular connective tissue.
What kind of movement do interosseous membranes provide?
Little movement provided between the two bones aka. Amphiarthroses
Where are sutures found?
Connecting the skull bones
What is the functional classification?
Synarthroses
What is the amount of connective tissue?
A thing layer of dense irregular connective tissue
Where can synostosis be found?
This is the complete fusion of a suture joint, so connecting skull bones
What is the functional classification of synostosis?
Synarthroses
Where can syndesmosis joints be found? Name and example joint.
Bones are further apart then in a suture, this kind of joint can be found between then proximal end of the tibia and fibula connection.
What is the functional classification of the syndesmosis joint?
Amphiarthroses
