Skeletal/Joints Flashcards
adduction
bringing toward the midline
abduction
movement away from the midline
amphiarthroses
joints designed for strength and flexibility
angular movements
flexion, extension, hyperextension, dorsiflexion, planterflexing, abduction, adduction
appositional growth
cells in the perichondrium secrete matrix against the external face of existing cartilage
articular cartilage
covers the ends of long bones
atlas
c1 of the cervical vertebrae, allows you to move your head back and fourth
axial skeleton
cut off the arms, legs, its the chest area
axis
c2 of the cervical vertebrae
ball and socket joint

idk
bursitis
an inflammation of a bursa, usually caused by a blow or friction
calcaneous
heel of the foot. weight bearing, balance
carpals
located in the wrist, short bone, allow things to slip and slide over them
cervical vertebrae
very top of the neck, nota whole lot of protection
clavicle
long bone, double curved, keeps arm away from chest
cribiform plate & crista galli
forms part of the nasal cavity and floor of the cranial cavity
ethmoid and parts
forms part of the nasal cavity and floor of the cranial cavity, attachment, passage way for nerves and blood vessels
parts: superior nasal concha, middle nasal concha, crista galli, cribiform plate, perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone
femur
thigh, weight bearing
parts: head of the femur, neck of the femur, great trochanter, lesser trochanter, medial condyle, lateral condyle, medial epicondyle, lateral epicondyle
fibula
stabilizes the ankle, non-weight bearing
foramen magnum
part of the occipital bone, spinal cord goes through this
frontal bone and parts
protects the brain, forms the forehead parts the orbital of the eye and brow ridge
parts: superciliary ridge, supraorbital foramen, glabella, supraorbital margin, orbital plate, frontal sinus, nasal spine
hyoid
movable base for the tongue and attachment point for the neck muscles that raise and lower larynx
lacrimal bone and parts
makes of medians portion of the eye, causes your nose to run
parts: lacrimal sacs, nasal lacrimal ducts
lamboid suture line
suture line on the occipital bone. meets with the sagittal and squamos suture line
lumbar vertebrae
protect the end of the spinal cord, weight bearing and form part of the pelvic cavity
mandible and parts
forms the lower jaw, muscle attachment and passageway for nerves and blood vessels
parts: alveolar process of the mandible, mental foramen, ramus, body of the mandible, coronoid process of the mandible, mandibular condyle, mandibular arch
maxilla and parts
forms part of the upper jaw, eye socket, and passageway for nerve and blood vessels
parts: anterior nasal spine, alveolar process of the maxilla, zygomatic process of the maxilla, frontal process of the maxilla, infraorbital foramen, tuverosity, maxillary sinuses, palatine process of the maxilla
middle nasal concha
between the sphenoid bone and nasal bone
nasal bone
protection
occipital bone and parts
protect posterior part of brain, provides passageway for spinal cord and nerves
parts: external occipital protuberance of the occipital bone, foramen magnum, occipital condyles of the occipital bone
radius and parts
allows you to rotate your arm (wrist)
parts: head of he radius, surgical neck, radial tuverosity, stylloid process of the radius
ramus
part of the mandible. Articulates with zygomatic bone
sacrum
weight bearing and forms part of the pelvic cavity
sagittal suture line
top of the skull dividing the parietal bone. comes in contact with the coronal and lamboid suture line
scapula and parts
protection, major muscle attachment site.
parts: scapular spine, gelnoid fossa, acromioon process if the scapula, coracoid process of the scapula
sella turcia
part of the sphenoid bone
sphenoid bone
forms the base of the cranium, passageway for cranial nerves and blood vessels, protects protuttiory, only skull bone that articulates
parts: lesser wings, great wings, body of the sphenoid, sella turcica, optic foramen, sphenoidal sinuses
spine
cervical and thoracic vertebrae allows us for movement of the back
