Sagittal plane
Divides body into left and right
Frontal (Coronal) plane
Divides the body from anterior and posterior
Transverse plane
Divides the body into top and bottom
List 10 Anatomical body movements
Flexion Eversion Extension Medial rotation Opposition Supination Plantarflexion Adduction Circumduction Scapular elevation, depression protraction
List 8 Anatomical postions
Deep Superficial Lateral Medial Proximal Distal Inferior Superior
Function of bones (5)
Support the body
Protection of soft organs
Allows movement from attached skeletal muscles
Storage of fats and minerals in yellow bone marrow
Red bone marrow produces RBC n WBC
What are two types of bone tissue
Compact - homogeneous
Spongy bone - Small needle like pieces of bone (porous)
4 Classification of bone shape
Long - femur, humerus
Short - Carpals, tarsals
Flat - skull ribs
Irregular - Vertebrae
List the gross anatomy of a long bone
Diaphysis or shaft - compact bone
Epiphysis - Ends of bones
3 parts of Diaphysis
Periosteum - Outside covering of diaphysis, fibrous connective tissue
Sharpey’s fibers - secure periosteum to underlying bone
Arteries- supply bone cells with nutrients
Epiphysis
Articular cartilage - covers the surface, decrease friction
Medullary cavity (3)
Cavity of the shaft
Contains yellow marrow in adults and adipose tissue
Red marrow in infants, produces RBC WBC
5 Microscopic Anatomy of Compact bone
Osteocytes - Bone cell
Lacunae - Osteocytes which form in cavity
Lamellae - Name of the circular arrangement of lacunae
Central/Haversian canals - Canals which lamellae form around
Haversian system/Osteon - all 4 combined
Haversian canals
carry blood vessel and nerves
Volkman canals
run perpendicular to central canals
