Overview of the Extremities Flashcards
at first, limb buds bend ____, which makes the elbow and knee directed _____, causing palm and sole to be directed _____
anteriorly, laterally, medially (toward trunk)
the lower limbs experience ____ rotation and permanent _____.
medial rotation, permanent pronation
in what general directions do the limb buds rotate relative to one another?
in opposite directions. upper limb rotates clockwise, lower limb rotates counter clockwise
implications of limb rotation for the the lower limb
explains why the knee–unlike joints superior to it–extend anteriorly and flex posteriorly, as do the joins below it
why the foot is oriented with the big toe on the media side whereas the hand becomes oriented with the thumb on the medial side
Bone classification
Suture bones (cranial), irregular bones (vertebral bones), flat bones (parietal bones), long bones (humerus), sesamoid bones (patella), short bones (carpals, tarsals)
condyle
a rounded process that articulates with another bone
crest
a narrow, ridge like projection: EG iliac crest
epicondyle
a projection situated above a condyle e.g medial epicondyle of humerus
facet
small smooth surface
foramen
an opening for the passage of the nerves, foramen magnum
fovea
a tiny pit or depression
head
enlargement at the head of a bone
linea
a narrow line like structure
meatus
tube line passageway within a bone
process
a prominent projection of a bone
sinus
a cavity within a bone frontal sinus
what is an “articulation”
a joint or articulation is the place of contact between bones, between bone and cartilage, or between bones and teeth
3 points of joint classification
type of connective tissue that binds the articulating surface of the bones
whether a space occurs between the articulating bones
degree of movement
Fibrous
dense regular tissue connects the ends of bones and bone parts: NO JOINT cavity
fibrous include gomphosis
suture
syndesmosis
gomphosis
fibrous
peridontal ligament, holds tooth to bony jaw
classified as synarthrosis (immobile)
suture
fibrous
dense regular connective tissue connects skull bones
classified as synarthrosis, meaning immobile
syndesmosis
dense regular connective tissue fibers between bones ( interosserous membrane)
amphiarthrosis (slight movable)
Cartilagenous
synchondrosis, symphysis
cartilage between the ends of bones, no joint cavity
synchondrosis
cartilaginous
hyaline cartilage plate
synarthrosis (immobile)
symphysis
cartilaginous
fibrocartilage pad between bones, amphiarthrosis (slightly moveable)
