Lecture 2: Intro to Skeletal System Flashcards
Principal functions of skeletal system?
- Movement
- Protection
- Homeostasis of minerals
- RBC production
- Storage minerals/lipids
Types of bones (shapes)?
Long (i.e. humerous)
Short (i.e. ankle)
Flat (i.e. sternum)
Irregular (i.e. vertebrae)
Sesamoid (I.e. patella)
Types of bones (shapes)?
Long (i.e. humerous)
Short (i.e. ankle)
Flat (i.e. sternum)
Irregular (i.e. vertebrae)
Sesamoid (I.e. patella)
largest sesamoid bone in body
patella
2 divisions of skeletons in skeletal system
- axial
- appendicular
what are sesamoid bones
embedded within tendons of muscles. prevent rubbing of tendon against joint. I.e. patella
what is axial skeleton
Skull
Vertebral Column
Ribs
Sternum
Appendicular bones
Scapula
Clavicle
Sternum
Ribs
Humerus
Ulna
Radius
Carpals
Metacarpals
Phalanges
Femur
Patella
Tibia
Fibula
Tarsals
Metatarsals
Phalanges
Girdles
appendicular bones which attach other appendicular bones to axial *shoulder girdle= clavicle & scapula)
2 major types of bones in skull
- Neurocranium
- Viscerocranium
what bone forms forehead
frontal bone. single
what bone forms upper jaw
Maxilla. Paired bone. purple in image
what bone forms lower jaw.
Mandible. Unpaired. dark blue in image
light blue in image
Zygomatic. paired bone.
3 cavities that connect cranium to orbital cavity
- optical canal
- superior orbital fissure
- inferior orbital fissure
How many paired bones are in nasal conchae?
3 pairs:
- superior nasal conchae
- middle
- inferior
inferior nasal concha is an individual bone, the other two are part of ethmoid
How many bones in neurocranium?
8!!
occipital bone, 2 temporal, 2 parietal, frontal, ethmoid, sphenoid
How many bones in viscerocranium?
14
Where is zygomatic arch? What are the bones that form it
zygomatic + temporal bone.
Above jaw
Function of lacrimal bone
has duct which carries tears from eyes to nasal duct
mastoid
bony process behind ear (part of mandible)
styloid
bony process. sharp stick (part of mandible)
what is the circled feature
condylar process
(part of mandible)
articulates with temporal bone (TMJ)
what is circled?
coronoid process
attachment site for muscle which closes jaw (part of mandible)
ramus
(part of mandible)
bony plate of mandible
coronoid and condylar processes are on the ramus of the mandible
