What is the difference between axial and appendicular skeleton
sefsf
List out the bones limit to Axial Skeleton? (Anatomically)
Axial skeleton:
Skull, ribs, sternum and vertebral column
What are the 2 types of Skeleton of the human body?
Axial skeleton & Appendicular Skeleton
List out the bones limit to Appendicular Skeleton? (Anatomically)
Appendicular Skeleton:
Pectoral girdle (scapulae and clavicles), humerus, radius, ulna, carpals, metacarpals, phalanges, pelvic girdle, femur patella, tibia, fibula, tarsals
What does the vertebral column consist of? (Spine)
Cervical- 7 bones; Thoracic- 12 bones; Lumbar- 5 bones ; Sacral- 5 bones (fused as 1) ; Coccyx- 4 bones (fused as 1)
What are the functions of Axial Skeleton?
Axial skeleton
- Protection
- Attachment
- Support
- Movement
What are the functions of Appendicular Skeleton?
Appendicular Skeleton
- Attachment
- Support
-Movement
- Store minerals
- Produce red and white blood cells

What is <Proximal> in the context of location of bones (anatomical terms) ?</Proximal>
Closer to the centre of the body e.g. the shoulder is proximal to the hand
What is <Distal> in the context of location of bones (anatomical terms) ?</Distal>
Further away from the centre of the body e.g. the hand is distal in relation to the shoulder
What is <Medial> in the context of location of bones (anatomical terms) ?</Medial>
Closer to the midline of the body e.g. the coccyx is medial to the carpals
What is <Lateral> in the context of location of bones (anatomical terms) ?</Lateral>
Away from the centre (midline) of the body e.g. the humerus is lateral to the sternum
What is <Inferior> in the context of location of bones (anatomical terms) ?</Inferior>
Below or further away from the head e.g. the knees are inferior to the shoulders
What is <Superior> in the context of location of bones (anatomical terms) ?</Superior>
Above or nearer to the head e.g. the skull is superior to the shoulders
What is <Posterior> in the context of location of bones (anatomical terms) ?</Posterior>
Behind or nearer to the back e.g. the vertebrae are posterior to the sternum
What is <Anterior> in the context of location of bones (anatomical terms) ?</Anterior>
In front of the body e.g. the sternum is anterior to the vertebrae
What is the function of Tendons (Connective Tissue) ?
Strong strips which attach muscles to bones (BTM)
What is the function of Ligaments (Connective Tissue) ?
Strong bands that connect bones to bones at joints (BLB)
What is the function of Cartilage (Connective Tissue) ?
Soft cushioning substance that covers the ends of bones, acts as a shock absorber, and reduces the friction
