Lab# 6 Skeletal system Flashcards
The Axial Skeleton
those bones that lie around the body’s center of gravity
Skeleton
The body’s frame work
Appendicular Skelton
Bones of the limbs and appendages
Articular Cartilages
cover the bone ends at moveable joints ie Hyaline cartilages
Costal Cartilages
Found connecting the ribs to the sternum (breast bone) (Hyaline)
Laryngeal Cartilages
largely constructs the larynx (voice box) (Hyaline)
Tracheal and Bronchial Cartilages
Reinforce other passageways of the respiratory system (Hyaline)
Nasal Cartilages
support the external nose (Hyaline)
Intervertebral discs
Separate and Cushion bones of the spine (vertebrae) (Fibrocartilage’s) also the pubic symphysis
Meniscus
pad like cartilage in knee joint fibrocartilage sandwiched between two layers of Hyaline cartilage
Skull
The bones of the head excluding the face
Thoracic cage
Ribs, sternum, vertebrae, costa cartilage
Vertebral column
The series of vertebra that extend from the cranium to the coccyx providing support and forming a flexible bony case for spinal cord
Bones of Pectoral Girdle
Clavicle, Scapula
Upper Limb
humerus, Radius, ulna, Carpals, phalanges, Metacarpals
Bones of Pelvic Girdle
Ilium,Pubis, Ischium
Lower Limb
Femur, Patella, Tibia, Fibula, Tarsals, Talus, Metatarsals, Phalanges, Calcaneus
Hyaline Cartilage
Provides sturdy support with some resilience or give most skeletal cartilages are composed of this
Elastic Cartilages
much more flexible than Hyaline and it tolerates repeated bending
External ear and epiglottis
Fibrocartilage
consists of rows of chondrocytes alternating with rows of thick collagen fibers has great tensile strength and with stands heavy compression found in intervertebral discs and knee joint
