Lab exam 1 Flashcards
The _____ ______ consists of the bones that form the long axis of the body and provide support and protection for organs of the head, neck, and trunk.
Axial Skeleton
The _____ consists of 2 sets of bones: The _____ bones that form the cranium, and the ______ bones which support the eyes, nose, and jaw.
Skull; Cranial; Facial.
The ______ Bone is located inferior to the jaw and superior to the larynx, this bone supports the tongue and assists in swallowing.
Hyoid.
Consists of 26 individual bones separated by (cartilaginous) inter vertebral discs. In the lower portions, several bones fuse together to form the sacrum and a few more fuse to form the coccyx(tailbone).
Vertebral Collumn.
The ______ _____ is comprised of bones of the upper and lower extremities and bony girdles that anchor the limbs to the axial skeleton.
Appendicular Skeleton.
Commonly referred to as the rib cage. Forms the framework of the thorax. This articulates with the thoracic vertebrae on the posterior side of the body and includes 12 pairs of ribs. The costal cartilage connect the ribs to the sternum on the anterior side of the body.
Thoracic Cage.
Consists of the paired scapulae and clavicles. The girdle serves as the attachment point for the muscles that move the upper arm and forearm. Interestingly, the only direct bony connection point for the entire arm occurs at this area when the clavicles articulate with the sternum.
Pectoral girdle.
The brachium (upper arm) is made up of solitary humerus, while the antebrachium (forearm) consists of a radius and ulna. The wrist is made up fo carpal bones, while the hand is comprised of metal carpal bones and phalanges. These bones are each mirrored on the opposite arm..
Upper Extremities.
Formed by two os coxae (hip bones), and joined anterior by the pubic symphysis and posteriorly by the sacrum. The pelvic girdle offers protection of the lower visceral organs and supports the weight of our bodies.
Pelvic Girdle.
The femur is the bone of the thigh; the tibia and fibula are the bones of the leg; and the tarsal bones, metatarsal bones, and the phalanges all comprise the foot. The patella is the “knee cap” located between the thigh and the leg on the anterior side. These bones are each mirrored on the opposite leg.
Lower Extremities.
5 Major bone regions of the axial skeleton.
Skull. Auditory Ossicles. Hyoid Bone. Vertebral Column. Thorax.
Three bones (that transmit sound impulses ) are present on each side of the skull within the middle-ear chamber.
Auditory ossicles.
4 Major bone regions in the Appendicular Skeleton
Pectoral Girdle.
Upper limbs (extremities).
Pelvic (hip) girdle.
