(pointing toes towards your body)
- Movement of the ankle so that the dorsal surface (top) of the foot moves superiorly
- Draws the foot inferiorly in the anatomical position
( Pushing toes away from your body)
- Draws the foot inferiorly in the anatomical position
What are short bones? Examples?

What are sesamoid bones? Examples?
- Function as a pully
- Oval, pea-like, and found in tendons
- Patella, and others
Define porosity
Bones with a smaller proportion of calcium phosphate and carbonate, and they also have greater nonmineralized tissue
Bone classification:
1. Cortical bone
2. Spongy (cancellous) bone
Examples for both
- Low porosity ( less flexible and can resist greater stress) (ex. arms and legs)
- High porosity ( more nonmineralized tissue) (ex. vertebrae)
Bone composition:
Define connective tissue
Have large amounts of extra-cellular material that separates cells (non fibrous protein ground substance, protein fibers, fluid)
EX: - the packing around organs, muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, blood
T or F: Bone is a connective tissue
True
Define Collagen
Gives bone its characteristic of flexibility, and contributes to its ability to resist pulling and stretching forces
What is the most abundant protein in the body?
Collagen
What is the main component of ligaments and tendons?
Collagen
What are the components of bone?
Calcium Carbonate, Calcium phosphate, but also water
Percentage of the bone components?
Calcium carbonate + phosphate (60-70%)
Water (20-25%)
What do the components of bone provide?
Provide bone’s stiffness and resistance to pressing or squeezing forces
Bones respond dramatically to stress in which two ways?
- It can increase/decrease density depending on physical activity
- It can remodel and change shape
Define condyle
Where are the connections?
An enlargement for articular surface
- Connection of bones at elbow/wrists
Define tubercle
Where are the connections?
The bump for tendon attachment
- Top of lower arm where the radius and ulna attach/meet
What is the axial skeleton composed of? (4)
How many bones total?
Skull Vertebrae Ribs Sternum (Head, spine, trunk) 80 bones total
What is composed of 22 bones?
