A

appendicular

25
Q

The _____ is involved in movement, support, and manipulation of objects

A

appendicular skeleton

26
Q

In the appendicular skeleton, the term “____” refers to the upper and lower extremities or appendages of the body,
namely the arms and legs.

A

Limbs

27
Q

are responsible for various functions such as movement, manipulation, and support.

A

Limbs

28
Q

The ______ provides attachment sites for muscles and allows for mobility and dexterity in activities such as walking, running, reaching, and grasping.

A

appendicular skeleton

29
Q

It consists of two hip bones, also called coxal bones or innominate bones, which are joined at the front by a cartilage called the ____.

A

Pubic symphysis; PELVIC GIRDLE

30
Q

Provides support for the abdominal organs,
attaches the lower limbs to the axial skeleton, and allows for movement and stability during activities such as walking, running, and sitting.

A

31
Q

FIVE MAIN TYPES OF BONES

A
  • LONG BONES
  • SHORT BONES
  • FLAT BONES
  • IRREGULAR BONES
  • SESAMOID BONES
32
Q

SPECIALIZED TYPES OF BONES

A
  • PNEUMATIZED BONES
  • ACCESSORY BONES
33
Q

Description: Longer than they are wide, with a shaft and two ends.

Examples: Femur, humerus, radius, ulna, tibia, fibula.

A

Long bones

34
Q

Description: Roughly cube-shaped and nearly equal in length, width, and thickness.

Examples: Carpals (wrist bones), tarsals (ankle bones).

A

Short bones

35
Q

Description: Thin, flattened, and often curved.

Examples: Skull bones, scapula, ribs, sternum.

A

Flat bones

36
Q

Description: Don’t fit into the previous categories due to their complex shapes.

Examples: Vertebrae, facial bones.

A

Irregular bones

37
Q

Description: Small, round bones embedded within tendons.

Examples: Patella (kneecap).

A

Sesamoid bones

38
Q

Description: Contain air-filled spaces or sinuses.

Examples: Some skull bones, such as frontal and maxillary sinuses.

A

Pneumatic bones

39
Q

Description: Not present in all individuals and are considered variations.

Examples: Extra bones in the hands or feet, such as accessory navicular bone.

A

Accessory bones

40
Q

4 musculoskeletal system

A

Tendons, ligaments, cartilage, joints

41
Q

are fibrous connective tissues that connect muscles to bones. They are responsible
for transmitting the force generated by muscle contractions to produce movement.

A

Tendons

42
Q

are also fibrous connective tissues that connect bones to other bones, forming
joints. They provide stability and strength to the joints, preventing excessive or abnormal movement.

A

Ligaments

43
Q

is a flexible, rubbery connective tissue that covers the ends of bones and provides a
smooth surface for joint movement. It acts as a shock absorber and reduces friction between bones.

A

Cartilage

44
Q

are the places where bones come together. They allow for movement and flexibility.

A

Joints

45
Q

Joints can be classified into different types, such as:

A

1) hinge joints (allowing movement in one plane like the knee joint)

2) ball-and-socket joints (allowing movement in multiple directions like the shoulder joint)

3) pivot joints (enabling rotational movements like the joint between the radius and ulna in the forearm).

46
Q

The upper extremities, referred to as arms, encompass the subsequent elements:

A

Upper Limbs

47
Q

The area where the arm attaches to the trunk through the shoulder joint

A

Shoulder

48
Q

The segment of the limb spanning from the shoulder to the elbow

A

Arm

49
Q

The articulation between the arm and the forearm

A

Elbow

50
Q

The segment of the limb between the elbow and the wrist

A

Forearm

51
Q

The joint connecting the forearm to the hand

A

Wrist

52
Q

The terminal section of the upper limb, comprising the palm, fingers, and thumb

A

Hand

53
Q

The lower extremities, known as legs, comprise the following components:

A

Lower Limbs

54
Q

The region where the leg joins the trunk through the hip joint

A

Hip

55
Q

The segment of the limb between the hip and the knee

A

Thigh

56
Q

The junction between the thigh and the leg

A

Knee

57
Q

The segment of the limb between the knee and the ankle

A

Leg

58
Q

The articulation between the leg and the foot

A

Ankle

59
Q

The terminal part of the lower limb, encompassing the sole, toes, and heel

A

Foot
