skeletal system Flashcards
Which joint is found between the lumbar vertebre
gliding
Function of long bones
make blood cells in bone marrows
store minerals/calcium
Whats an example of a fixed joint
sutures between cranium bones
Where are slightyl moveable joints found
dsics betweeen the vertebre
How are fixed joints connected
by dense connective tissue made from collegen
Which structure encloses the synovial joint
joint capsule
What is the function of articular cartilalidge
prevents friction on bone ends
allows friction free movement
Where is a pivot joint in the spine
the neck, between atlas and axis
what are the functions of the spine
Movement
protection
Support
How does the spine create movment
Combination of slight movements between each facet joints gives effect of wide range of movement.
SHORT term effcts on the skeletal system
- increased synovial fluid
- increased ROM
LONG POSITIVE effects on the skeletal system
- increased bone density
- prevents osotoporosis
- increased joint stability
- improved posoture
LONG NEGATIVE effects on the skeletal system
- risk of osteoarthirits
- chronic injuries
- impact injuries
What causes osteoarthritis
- bad form - loss of cartiladge
- reduction in synovial fluid
- repetitive actions
What are chronic injuries
- tendonitis
- stress fractures,
