Skeletal system Flashcards
Two types of skeleton
Axial and appendicular
How many bones in Axial & list the main bones
Axial: 80 Main bones are skull, laryngeal skeleton, vertebral column, and thoracic cage
How many bones in Appendicular & list the main bones
Appendicular: 126 Main bones are Pectoral girdle, arms, forearms, hands, pelvis, legs, feet, and ankles
Total bones in human body?
206
Functions of the Skeletal System
Support and protection
Body Movement
Produces blood cells
Storage of minerals and fats
(5) The classifications of bones
Long, Short, Flat, Irregular, Seasomied
Epiphysis
End of both sides of a given bone
Diaphysis
The hollow inside of your bone
Articular Cartilage
Articular cartilage is the smooth, white tissue that covers the ends of bones where they come together to form joints. Protects bone from too much friction
Periosteum
The periosteum helps bone growth. The outer periosteum layer contributes to the blood supply of your bones and the surrounding muscles.
Medullary Cavity
hollow chamber filled with bone marrow
(2) Functions of Red/Yellow Bone Marrow
Red marrow produces blood and Yellow marrow stores fat
Compact Bone Tissue
Compact is solid w no holes (wall of the diaphysis)
Spongy Bone Tissue
Spongy has lots of holes in it (cancellous, epiphysis) - red marrow
Flexion/Extension
Flexion is a movement that decreases the angle between two body parts. Extension isa movement that increases the angle between two body parts
Abduction/Adduction/Circumduction
Abduction is the movement away from midline of body. Adduction is the movement towards the midline of body. Circumduction is the movement of a body region in a circular manner.
Rotation
Rotation is the movement of the vertebral column, at a pivot joint, or at a ball-and-socket joint
Supination/Pronation
Supination is hands facing up with bend in arm. Pronation is hands facing down like a push up
Dorsiflexion/Plantar Flexion
Dorsiflexion is toes in the air and Plantar is foot towards the ground
Inversion/Eversion
Inversion is feet facing towards midline of the body Eversion is feet facing away from the midline of the body
Protraction/Retraction
Protraction is shoulders moving forward and Retraction is shoulders back
Depression/Elevation
Depression is shoulders going down and Elevation is them going up
Opposition/Reposition
Opposition is thumb and index touching and reposition is back to normal
How many bones are in the cranium
The eight bones of the cranium form the “vault” that encloses the brain. They include the frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal, sphenoid and ethmoid bones
What is the only movable bone in your skull
The only bone in your skull that forms freely movable joints is your mandible, or jawbone.
