Q

short bones

A

carpal (wrist) & tarsal (foot)

17
Q

flat bones

A

protect internal organs & provides surface for muscles to attach,
sternum, ribs, and pelvis

18
Q

sesamoid bones

A

embedded within a tendon muscle

ex. knee cap

19
Q

irregular bones

A

vertebral column, skull, elbow

20
Q

synovial joint

A

contains synovial fluid which lubricant the joints
two types: ball & socket and hinge
ball & socket: hip, shoulder
hinge: elbow & knee

21
Q

fibrous joint

A

connected to each other by ligaments not movable

ex. skull bones

22
Q

cartilaginous joint

A

hold bones together by cartilage, they can move more fibrous joints less than synovial joints
ex spine

23
Q

axial skeleton

A

consist 6 parts: the skull, rib cage, spinal column, ossicles of the middle ear, hyoid bone & sternum

24
Q

skull

A

consists cranium & facial bones, orbit (eye socket), nasal bone, maxilla (upper jaw), mandible (lower jaw), zygomatic bone (cheekbone)

25
Q

rib cage

A

consists 12 pairs of bones & sternum, protects heart, lungs, trachea, esophagus & great vessels.
Sternum divide into 3 parts, manubrium, middle body& xiphoid process

26
Q

spinal column

A
protects the spinal cord 
consist of 5 parts 
cervical (7)
thoracic (12) 
lumbar (5)
pelvic (5)
coccyx(4)
27
Q

appendicular skeleton

A

consists bones of the shoulder girdle, pelvis, upper/lower limbs
