36
Q

The skeletal system provides … for the body

A

Framework

37
Q

How many bones do we have?

A

206

38
Q

What do bones function as for our body?

A

Protection, support, locomotion or movement

39
Q

What are bones composed of?

A

Cells
blood
minerals (calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate)

40
Q

What are joints?

A

Connections between the bones which work with muscles to provide movement

41
Q

What are the different types of joints?

A

Ball and socket joints

Hinge joints

42
Q

Ball and socket joints

A

Allow a wide range of movements in many directions

Found at hips and shoulders

43
Q

Hinge joints

A

Found at the knees and elbows and allow movement mainly in one direction

44
Q

What are the three main bones in the arm?

A

Humerus

Ulna

Radias

45
Q

Humerus

A

Largest bone of arm

Found in Upper arm

46
Q

Ulna

A

Is the larger of the two bones of the lower arm (forearm)

On the same side as your baby finger

Articulates with the humerus to form the elbow joint

47
Q

Radius

A

Smaller of the two bones in the lower arm

On the same side as your thumb

It is called the radius because it can rotate around the ulna

The ulna and radius intersect at the hand forming the wrist joint

48
Q

Where does the humerus join to the body?

A

At the shoulder

49
Q

Radius and ulna articulate with each other to provide

A

Pronation & Supination

They also articulate with the carpal bones to form the wrist

50
Q

Carpals

A

This is the wrist and it is composed of eight (8) small regular bones

They allow flexion and extension of the wrist and ulnar and radial deviation

51
Q

Metacarpals

A

These are five (5) bones which make up the bones of the palm of the hand

When you clench your fist, the heads of the metacarpals become prominent and are called your knuckles

52
Q

Phalanges

A

These are the bones of the fingers or digits

There are 14 bones consisting of 3 phalanges on each finger and 2 in the thumb 

The outer most bones are called distal, the middle is called medial, and the ones nearest the hand are called proximal

The thumb has only distal and proximal phalanges
