Q

What are the Types/Classification of Bones?

A
  • Long Bones
  • Short Bones
  • Flat Bones
  • Irregular Bones
23
Q

What do Long Bones do?

A
  • Act as Levers so we can Move

- Examples are the Humerus, Ulna and Femur

24
Q

What do Short Bones do?

A
  • Are Important for Weight Bearing and to Absorb Shock

- Examples are the Carpals and Tarsals

25
What do Flat Bones do?
- Usually Protect Organs | - Examples are the Ribs, Pelvis and Scapula
26
What do Irregular Bones do?
- Have Odd Shapes and Perform a Range of Functions | - Examples are the Bones of the Vertebrae
27
What do Ligaments do?
- Joins Bone to Bone - Help Stabilise Joints - Prevents Dislocation
28
What do Tendons do?
- Attach Muscle to Bone | - Help Provide Powerful Movements Such as Kicking and Jumping
29
What order is the Vertebral Column in?
1. Cervical (Top) 2. Thoracic 3. Lumbar 4. Sacrum 5. Coccyx (Tail/Bottom)
30
What are the Long Term Effects of Exercise on the Skeletal System?
- Increased bone density - Bones are stronger - Prevents osteoporosis (brittle/fragile bones) and reduces fractures
31
What are the Short Term Effects of Exercise on the Skeletal System?
Haha there isn't any c:
