Skeletal System Flashcards
functions of the skeletal system
support and protection, body movement, excretion
axial skeleton
to protect the central nervous system
how many bones are in the axial skeleton?
80 bones
skull, vertebrae, rib cage,
appendicular skeleton
bones that support appendages
how many bones are in the appendicular skeleton?
126
arms, femur, fibula, tibia, feet bones
how many total bones are in the body?
206
what are the 5 types of bones
long, short, flat, irregular, and sesamoid
long bones
cylinder-shaped bones that are longer than they are wide, gives leverage.
tibia, fibula, femur, metatarsals, and phalanges
short bones
shaped more like a cube
carpal, tarsals
flat bones
the spongy bone between two layers of compact bone
irregular bones
cancellous tissue enclosed in compact bone
vertebræ, sacrum, coccyx, temporal, sphenoid, ethmoid, zygomatic, maxilla, mandible, palatine, inferior nasal concha, and hyoid.
sesamoid bones
a small round bone that is imbedded within a tendon, whose purpose is to reinforce and decrease stress on that tendon
knee, thumb, big toe
epiphysis
end
diaphysis
shaft
articular cartilage
hyaline cartilage
periosteum
vascular connective tissue enveloping the bones except at the surfaces of the joints.
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
freely movable
hinge
Uniaxial joint, allows flexion and extension, synovial joint that allows motion in one plane.
condyloid
biaxial joint, allows flexion and extension, abduction/ adduction and circumduction
saddle
biaxial joint, allows flexion/ extension, abduction/ adduction and circumduction
plane
the multiaxial joint allows inversion and eversion of foor. extension and lateral flexion of the vertebral column
ball and socket
multiaxial joint, allows flexion/ extension
