muscloskeletal system Flashcards
types of skeletal system
hydrostatic, exoskeletal, endoskeleton
coelom
fluid-filled compartment within the body
under hydrostatic pressure because of the fluid and supports other organs
what animals is coelom found in
soft-bodied animals like anemones, earthworms, cnidaria and other invertebrates
what do hydrostatic skeletal systems have
coelom
exoskeleton
external skeleton that supports the body, provides defense against predators, and allows for movement through the contraction of attached muscles
what percentage of chitin do exoskeletons have
30-50%
endoskeleton
internal skeleton; consists of hard, mineralized structures
what are the functions of the endoskeleton
provides support
stores minerals and fats
produces blood cells
protects internal organs
allows for movement through contraction of muscles attached to the skeleton
how many bones does the human skeletal system have and what is it separated into
206; axial skeleton and appendicular skeleton
human axial skeleton
bones of the skull, ossicles of the middle ear, hyoid bone, vertebral column and rib cage
what are the bones of the skull
mandible, maxilla, lacrimal, nasal, ethmoid, sphenoid, frontal, parietal, occipital, zygomatic
what are the cranial bones
frontal, parietal and sphenoid
what are the facial bones
orbit, temporal, lacrimal, palatine, zygomatic, nasal, vomer, maxilla, and mandible
what does the vertebral column consist of
seven cervical vertebrates
twelve thoracic vertebrate
five lumbar vertebrae
sacrum
coccyx
intervertebral discs
-fibrocartilage cushions impacts
- bind vertebrate together
spinal curves increase strength and flexibility of the spine
thoracic cage
rib cage protects the heart and the lungs
ribs- 12 pairs
sternum-3 fused bones
thoracic vertebrae-12
costal cartilages-10 pairs
appendicular skeleton
composed of a pectoral girdle, pectoral limbs, pelvic girdle, and pelvic limbs
pectoral girdle
shoulders
to adapt to reproductive fitness, female compared to male pelvis is lighter, wider, shallower
has a broader angle between the pubic bones
pectoral limbs
arm, forearm, and hand
pelvic girdle
hips
pelvic limbs
thigh, leg, foot
shoulders
pelvic girdle consists of clavicles and scapulae
which forms and stabilizes shoulder joint and allows for movement of arms
upper limbs
conssits of humerus, radius, ulna, carpals(8 bones), metacarpals(5 bones), phalanges(14 bones)
pelvic girdle composition
coxal bones, pubic symphysis and sacrum
coxal bones
illium, ischium, and pubis
