How many bones are there in the cranium?
80
what is the only moveable bone in your skull?
madible
what are the five vertebral regions?
cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, small coccygeal
how many vertebrae are in cervical?
7
how many vertebrae are in thoracic?
12
how many vertebrae are in lumbar?
5
scoliosis
curvature of the spine laterally
kyphosis
hunch back
lordosis
lumbar is too forward
what does the thoracic cage protect?
heart and lungs
costal cartilage
the endings of the ribs and connects to the sternum
three types of ribs, and how many of each?
true ribs (1-7), false ribs (8-10), floating ribs (11-12)
flexion/extension
flexion- decreases the angle between the bones
extension- increases the angle between the bones
abduction/adduction/circumduction
abduction- moves the limb laterally away from the midline of the body
adduction- moves the limb laterally towards the midline of the body
circumduction-moving a part of the body in circular manner
rotation
medial- move limb towards body
lateral- away from the midline
supination/pronation
supination- move palms to anterior facing position
pronation- move palms to backward facing position
dorsiflexion/plantar flexion
dorsiflexion- move the front of the foot upward
plantar flexion- move the back of the foot upward
inversion/eversion
inversion-turn the foot to angle the bottom of the foot toward the midline
eversion- turns the bottom of the foot away from the midline
