musculosketal Flashcards
middle section of a long bone?
diphysis
very end sections of long bone ?
ephysis
neck section of long bone?
metphysis
fossa
depression/ hallow in bone
foremen
opening inside the body that allows key structure to connect 1 part of body to another
tubercle
small knobby promiance
Intertubercle groove
deep groove on the humerus that separates the greater tubercle from the lesser tubercle
trochanter
any of a no. of bony protuberances by which the muscles are attached to the upper part of the tight bone
head
anterior and superior part of a structure or organism
neck
any narrow or constricted part of a bone or organ that joins its part
tubersity
a rough projection or protuberance of a bone as for attachment of muscle
condyle
rounded protubalance at the end of some bones, forming an articulation with another bone
Epicondyle
a protuberance above or on the condyle of a long bone, especially either of the 2 at the elbow end of the humus.
process
projection or outgrowth of tissue from a large body
notch
v-shaped cut, indentation or nick, especially at edge of the object or structure
osteoblasts
make new bone matrix
osteocytes
a bone cell, formed when an osteoblast becomes embedded in the material it has secreted.
Osteoclasts
break down:
1) bone may need remodelling
2) calcium released
fibrous joint
- bones connected by connective tissue
- minimal movement
- no joint space
- i.e skull, teeth
cartilaginous joint
- joints held together by cartilage
- allows some movement ( more then fibrous joints and less then synovial joints)
- i.e pelvis
synovial joint
- joint cavity
- bone connected by ligament
- greatest range of movement
- elbow, knees …
flexion
wrist towards shoulder
extension
wrist away from shoulder
Abduction
arm away from body
adduction
arm towards body
rotation
elbow at side and moving arms in circle
circumduction
back crawl/ front stroke
pronation
hands in front seeing back of hand
suspination
turning flat hands out to see hands
protraction
strenghting out a full forelimb all in extension
retraction
pointing limb backwards behind body
