MODULE 2 SKELETAL Flashcards
functions of skeletal sys
support, protection, blood cell form, storage, movement
made up of compact bone, which is hard and strong.
Outer cortical layer:
made up of spongy bone, which appears porous and sponge-like.
Inner cancellous layer:
4 types of bones
flat bone - skull
irregular bones - verterbra
long bones - femur
short bones - ankle and wrist
feature of long bones
Epiphysis: Knobby, enlarged regions at the end, form joints and serve as attachment sites for tendons
and ligaments.
Metaphysis: Region between the diaphysis and epiphysis.
Diaphysis: Elongated cylindrical shaft.
covers the epiphysis, reduces friction between joints, and absorbs shock in movable
joints.
Articular cartilage - hyaline
this bone is single, forms the forehead and roof of the orbits - eye socket
frontal bone
this bone are paired and form the lateral and inferior walls of skull
temporal
features of temporal bone
zygomatic process, external audortory meatus, mastoid process
this is single bone, known as keystone of skull, joins the cranium and facial bones by attaching with almost every other bone in skull
sphenoid bone
these bones are paired, form superior and lateral surfaces of skull
parietal
this bone is single, form posterior and base of skull
occipital
occiptal bone - The____ allows the spinal cord to exit the cranial cavity
foramen magnum
articulate with the first bone in the neck
The occipital condyles
junction bw frontal and parietal bones
coronal
junction bw parietal bones
sagittal
junction bw occiptal and parietal bones
lamboid
junction bw temporal and parietal bones
squamous
cranial vault encompasses what and is called
all bones - frontal, parietal, occiptal flat bones, called skullcap
A ___is defined as a depression in a bone.
fossa
name the 3 fossae of brain
Anterior cranial fossa
* Middle cranial fossa
* Posterior cranial fossa
this is paired bone, upper jaw bones
maxillary
paired, artucalte with frontal, form bridge of nose
nasal bones
Paired
* Form the cheekbones
zygomatic bones - temporal process, which articulates with the zygomatic process of the
temporal bone to form the zygomatic arch.
single bone and forms the lower jaw
mandible - 3 parts - ramus (top), and angle, and body
The adult spine is made up of ___bones:
* Vertebrae
* Sacrum
* Coccyx
26 bones, 24 vert, 1 sac, 1 cocc
how many vert in each section
cervical = 7
thoracic = 12
lumbar = 5
sacrum = 5 fused
coccyx = 4 fused
