Module 1: Trunk MSK Flashcards
axial skeleton
bones of head, neck, trunk
appendicular skeleton
bones of limbs, pectoral and pelvic girdles
cartilage
resilient, semirigid, avascular connective tissue
articular cartilage
covers articulating surfaces of bones
what are the two types of bone tissue?
- compact (trabecular) bone
2. spongy (cancellous) bone
sesamoid bones
(e.g. patella) develop in certain tendons, protect tendons from excessive wear
condyle
rounded articular area of bone
crest
ridge of bone (e.g. iliac crest)
facet
smooth, flat area, usually covered w/ cartilage, where ab one articulates w/ another bone
foramen
passage through a bone
line (linea)
linear elevation (e/g/ soleal line of the tibia)
malleolus
rounded prominance
notch
indentation at the edge of a bone
process
projecting spine-like process (e.g. spine of the scapula)
trochanter
large, blunt elevation
tubercule
small, raised eminence (e/g/ greater tubercle of humerus)
tuberosity
rounded elevation (e.g. ischial tuberosity)
mesenchyme
embryonic connective tissue
diaphysis
shaft of a long bone
epiphyses
end of long bone
number of vertebrae by region
33
cervical: 7
thoracic: 12
lumbar: 5
sacral: 5
coccygeal: 4
lumbosacral angle
located at the junction of the lumbar region of the vertebral column and sacrum
intervertebral (IV) discs
joints that connect presaracal vertebral column, provides felxible portion of spine
how many curvatures are there in the vertebral column?
4 all together 2 primary (thoracic and sacral) 2 secondary (cervical and lumbar)
