Q

Epiphysis

A

The epiphyses are named according to their location.
The epiphysis closest to the body’s center is the PROXIMAL epiphysis.
The one that is farthest away is the DISTAL epiphysis.

35
Q

How many bones are in the cranium?

36
Q

What is the only movable bone in your skull?

A

The M a n d i b l e

37
Q

What are the five vertebral regions (from superior to inferior)?

A 
Cervical Vertebrae
Thoracic Vertebrae
Lumbar Vertebrae
sacrum Vertebrae
coccyx Vertebrae
38
Q

How many vertebrae are in cervical?

39
Q

How many vertebrae are in thoracic?

40
Q

How many vertebrae are in lumbar?

41
Q

Scoliosis

A

Scoliosis is where the spine twists and curves to the side.

42
Q

Kyphosis

A

Hunchback bsclly

43
Q

Lordosis

A

its when your spine bends inward like a pregnant person’s back.

44
Q

What does the thoracic cage protect?

A

Protects the heart and lungs.

45
Q

Costal cartilage

A

The costal cartilages are bars of hyaline cartilage which serve to prolong the ribs forward and contribute very materially to the elasticity of the walls of the thorax

46
Q

Three types of ribs, and how many of each?

A

True Ribs( Ribs 1-7), False Ribs( Ribs 8-12), and Floating Ribs( Ribs 11-12)

47
Q

Main bones of the pectoral girdle

A

the clavicle and scapula.

48
Q

Humerus (describe its location)

A

Located between your shoulder and elbow.

49
Q

Radius (describe its location)

A

The radius is one of the two bones that make up the forearm, the other being the ulna. It forms the radio-carpel joint at the wrist and the radio-ulnar joint at the elbow. It is in the lateral forearm when in the anatomical position. It is the smaller of the two bones.

50
Q

Ulna (describe its location)

A

The ulna is a long bone in the forearm. It lies medially and parallel to the radius, the second of the forearm bones.

51
Q

Carpals (describe its location)

A

The carpal bones are bones of the wrist that connect the distal aspects of the radial and ulnar bones of the forearm to the bases of the five metacarpal bones of the hand.

52
Q

Metacarpals (describe its location)

A

the intermediate part of the skeletal hand located between the phalanges of the fingers and the carpal bones of the wrist which

53
Q

Phalanges (describe its location)

A

The proximal phalanges (hand) are the bones that are found at the bottom of the finger.

54
Q

Femur (describe its location)

A

Thighbone, upper bone of the leg or hind leg.

55
Q

Tibia (describe its location)

A

The tibia is the main bone of the lower leg, forming what is more commonly known as the shin.

56
Q

Fibula (describe its location)

A

The fibula is a bone located within the lateral aspect of the leg

57
Q

Tarsals (describe its location)

A

The tarsal bones are located in the midfoot and the rearfoot (also called hindfoot) areas of the human foot.

58
Q

Metatarsals (describe its location)

A

The metatarsal bones are the bones of the forefoot that connect the distal aspects of the cuneiform (medial, intermediate and lateral) bones and cuboid bone to the base of the five phalanges of the foot.

59
Q

Transverse Fracture

A

Occurs straight across the long axis of the bone.

60
Q

Oblique Fracture

A

Occurs at an angle that is not 90 degrees.

61
Q

Spiral Fracture

A

Bone segments are pulled apart as a result of a twisting motion.

62
Q

Comminuted Fracture

A

Several breaks result in many small pieces between two large segments.

63
Q

Impacted Fracture

A

one fragment is driven into the other, usually as a result of compression.

64
Q

Greenstick Fracture

A

A partial fracture in which only one side of the bone is broken.

65
Q

Open (or Compound) Fracture

A

a fracture in which at least one end of the broken bone tears through the skin; carries a high risk of infection

66
Q

Closed (or Simple) Fracture

A

A fracture in which the skin stays intact.
