skeletal system Flashcards
functions of the skeletal system
support and protection, body movement, produce blood cells, strorage of minerals and fats
axial skeleton
supports upright position and protects internal organs
how many bones in axial?
80 bones
skull, vertebrate, ribe cage, sternum
appendicular skeleton
portion of skeleton of vertebrates made up of bones that support
appendages
limbs
how many bones in appendicular skeleton?
126
arms, legs, feet
how many total bones in body
206
what are the 5 classifications
long, short, flat, irregular, and sesamoid
long bones
cylinder shaped longer than wide, gives leverage
ex. femur, tibia, radius
short
cube like shape, equal in width length and thickness
ex carpals and tarsals
flat
thin and curved, points of attachment for muscles
ex sternum, ribs, cranial bones
irregular
complex shape and protects internal organs, vertebrae, facial bones
sesamoid
small and round embedded in tendons
ex patellae
epiphysis
end
diaphysis
shaft
articular cartilage
hyaline cartilage, padding
periosteum
membrane that covers entire bone
medullary cavity
hollow chamber filled with bone marrow
red marrow
blood
yellow marrow
fat
compact
wall of diaphysis
spongy
epiphysis- red marrow
Pivot
`Uniaxial joints, allows rotational movement
ex. altantoaxial joint
hinge
uniaxial joint, allows flexion and extension
ex. Knee, elbow
condyloid
biaxial joint, allows flexion/extensions, abduction/adduction, and circumduction movements
ex. knuckle
saddle
biaxle joint, allows flexion/extensions, abduction/adduction, and circumduction movements
ex. thumb
plane
multiaxial joint, allows inversion and eversion of foot, or flexion, extension, and lateral flexion of the vertebral column
ex. intertarsal joints of foot
ball and socket
multiaxial joint, allows flexion/extensions, abduction/adduction, and circumduction movements, and medial/ lateral rotation movements
ex. shoulder and hip
