The appendicular skeleton contains how many bones?
126
In combination of axial and appendicular there are how many bones
206
The apendicular skeleton has how many appendages
4 and there is pectoral and pelvic girdle
Pectoral girdle =
Shoulder
The pectoral girdle attaches your
Upperlimbs to axial skeleton
The pectoral girdle and upper limb prioritizes
Mobility and Flexibility
‘However can be very susceptible to dislocation and fracture
- Phalanges
- Carpals
- Metacarpals
1.scapula
- Acromialclavicular joint
- Clavicle
- Ulna (always medial )
- Radios (always lateral
Pelvic girdle prioritizes
Stability and weight bearing
Females have wider pelvis than
Men for childbearing
False pelvis
Great pelvis
It supports the lower intestines and female superor reproductive organs
True pelvis
It is the inner part of the pelvic bone
looks like a circle
- Talus
- Calcaneous
Talus
Connects foot to tibia
Calcaneous
Heel
Skeletal muscles attach to the bone by
Tendons
(Point of origin)
Muscles get their energy from
Glucose
Muscles are made of
Fibers
Feet and hands are held together by
Tendons
Tight tendons give foot the arch
Types of muscles are
Agonists
Antagonists
Synergists
Fixators
Agonists
Prime movers that are most responsible for producing particular movement
antagonists
Reverse /oppose movement
Synergistis
Help agonists either by assisting with same movement or by reducing unnecessary movement
