A

Made up of the manubrium (upper section of the sternum), body and xiphoid process (inferior cartilaginous tip)

25
Q

Shoulder girdle

A

Where the clavicle, scapula, and humerus come together, allowing the arm to move

26
Q

Clavicle

A

Collarbone; overlies the superior boundaries of the thorax in front and joins posteriorly with the scapula

27
Q

Scapula

A

Shoulder blade; lies in muscular tissue of posterior thoracic wall

28
Q

Diaphragm

A

inferior boundary of the thorax; separates the thorax and the abdomen

29
Q

Humerus

A

Supporting bone of the arm

30
Q

Forearm

A

Made up of the radius and ulna

31
Q

Radius

A

Lies on the lateral (thumb) side of and is larger in the distal forearm

32
Q

Ulna

A

Lies on the medial side and larger in the proximal forearm

33
Q

Wrist

A

Modified ball and socket joint formed by the ends of the radius and ulna, and the carpal bones (8)

34
Q

Pelvis

A

composed of the sacrum and two pelvic bones

35
Q

Pelvic bone

A

Fusion of the ilium, ischium, and pubis

36
Q

Pubic symphysis

A

where the left and right pubis are joined; has cartilage that allows for slight motion of one side pelvis over the other

37
Q

Acetabulum

A

Where pelvis and lower leg connect

38
Q

Femur

A

Thigh bone; longest and one of the strongest in the body

39
Q

Femoral head

A

Where the femur connects to acetabulum by ball and socket joint

40
Q

Greater trochanter

A

projection of femur on lateral/superior portion; point where major thigh muscles connect to femur

41
Q

Lesser trochanter

A

Projection of the femur on the medial/superior portion; point where major thigh muscles connect to femur

42
Q

45
Q

Fibula

A

Lateral side of leg

46
Q

Ankle

A

hinge joint

47
Q

Joints

A

Articulation; where 2 long bones come in contact; consists of the ends of bones and the surrounding connecting supporting tissue

48
Q

Symphysis

A

Joint that allows limited motion; held together by fibrous tissue

49
Q

Joint capsule

A

fibrous sac that holds bone ends of a joint; composed of ligaments; can be thin and lax to allow motion

50
Q

Sacroiliac joint

A

tough, thick ligaments, little motion

51
Q

Synovial membrane

A

The inner lining of the joint capsule; special tissue responsible for making synovial fluid, which serves as a lubricant to allow the ends of the bones to glide over eachother

52
Q

Ball and socket joint

A

Allows rotation and bending; etc shoulder

53
Q

Hinge joint

A

Motion restricted to one plane; etc finger joints, elbow, knee

54
Q

Skeletal muscle

A

Type of muscle allowing for voluntary movement; attaches to bones of the skeleton; can be stimulated to contract or relax at will

55
Q

Smooth muscle

A

Found within blood vessels and intestines; not part of musculoskeletal system

56
Q

Cardiac muscle

A

Found only in the heart; not part of the musculoskeletal system

57
Q

Biceps

A
