Radius and ulna
Hand bones
Carpels, metacarpals and phalanges
Collar bone
Clavicle
Bones from neck through to bottom of back
Vertebrae
Bum bone
Pelvic girdle
Upper leg bone
Femur
Knee bone
Patella
Lower leg bones
Tibia and fibula
Bones in foot
Tarsals, metatarsals and phalanges
Flat bones
Protecting vital organs. (Eg pelvic gurdle, cranium, sternum, ribs, scapula)
Long bones
Enable gross movements. (Eg femur, radius, ulna)
Short bones
Enable finer and more controlled movement. (Eg: carpals and tarsals)
Irregular bones
Specifically shaped bones to protect. ( eg vertebrae and mandible)
Articulating bones at the shoulder
Scapula and humerus
Articulating bones at the hip
Femur and pelvis
Articulating bones t the elbow
Radius, ulna and humerus
Articulating bones at the knee
Tibia, fibulae or femur
Articulating bones at the ankle
Tibia, tarsals, fibular
Functions of the skeleton
Support, protection, movement, structural shape, blood cell production and storage of minerals
How does the skeleton produce movement?
They work as anchor points for muscles as they attach to them via tendons. As muscles contract, movement is enabled
How do bones produce blood cells?
They contain bone marrow in them which produces red and white blood cells.
What minerals do bones contain?
They store 99% of calcium and 85% of phosphorus.
Joint
Where 2 or more bones meet to allow movement
Synovial joint
A joint that’s freely moveable
Where are synovial joints located?
Shoulder, elbow, knee, ankle and hip
What are the two types of synovial joint?
Hinge
Ball and socket
Hinge joint
Allow movement in one direction (eg elbow and knee).
Ball and socket
Head/ball of a long bone fitting into the cup like end of another bone tp allow movement in 3 dimensions in a rotary motion. (Eg shoulder and hip)
Fixed joint
A joint that allows little\no movement (eg skull).
Partially moveable joint
A joint with restricted movement.
Ligament
Connects bone to bone
Tendon
Connects bone to muscle
How does the ligament affect the knee joint ?
It stabilises the joint
How does cartilage affect the knee joint?
It acts as a shock absorber, reducing friction.
