lab 9 and 10 Flashcards
process
a prominence or a projection ex) the styloid process
tuberosity
an elevation/ protruberance, especially on a bone where muscle is attached to. ex) deltoid tuberosity
tubercle
for attachment of a tendon ex) the greater tubercle of humerus
trochanter
body prominence develoed from independant osseous centers near proximal end of femur
condyle
rounded projection on a bone, usually for articulation with another bone ex) on femur
epicondyle
where humerous meets with ulna/radious
facet
A small place surface on a hard body ex) superior articular facet of vertebrae
crest
a projection/projecting structure ridge, especially surrounding a bone or its border ex) iliac crest
head
The anterior/ superior part of a structure organism
foramen
hole/opening in a bone between 2 body cavities. ex) transverse foremen in cervical vertebrae
what are sutures
sutures are immovable joints in the adult skull.
characteristics of cervical vertebrae
c1-c7 , c1= atlas (yes) c2= axis (no) presence of transverse foremen,
characteristics of thoracic vertebrae
t1-t12, long spinous process, articulate with ribs via facets for articulation with ribs, has inferior and superior articular facets***
characteristis for lumbar vertebrae
L1-L5, big boned for weight bearing, spinous processs isn’t long only has an inferior articular facet
what 3 bones make up the os coxa
illium, ischium, pubis
what bones form the bony pelvis
the coxae, sacrum and coccyx
what is the functional classification of of joints
the functional classification of joints is based on the amount of movement that can occur at the joint. 3 types: 1. immovable 2. slightly movable 3. freely movable
what is the structural classification of joints
the type of connective tissue that binds the articulating surfaces together and on the presence or absence of a joint cavity 3 types: fibrous, cartilaginous,synovial
characteristics of fibrous joints
-articulating bones are bound together by dense fibrous CT.
-permit little to no movement and are very strong.
-joint cavity is not present
2 types: sutures, sydesmoses
characteristics of sutures
-functionally classified as immovable ex) joint found between cranial and facial bones
