skeletal system Flashcards
what is the function of the apendicular skeleton ?
movement and shape
name all the bones in the apendicular skeleton
scapular, ulner , fibula , tarsals , mettatarsls , clavicle , humerus , radius , pelvis , illium , carples , fillangies , femer , matacarpls , platela , tibia , talus
what is the function of the axial skelliton ?
protect important internal organs
name all the bones in the axial skelliton
cranium , cervical vertibray , thoratic vertibray , lumber vertibray , sturnum , ribs , sacrum , coxix
what are the 6 functions of the skelliton ?
shape
protect
blood production
support
movement
storage of minerals
name the types of bone
long
short
irregular
seasamoid
flat
what are the 6 types of synovial joint ?
ball and soket
hinje
saddle
condialoid
gliding
pivot
what are the 3 clasifications of joint ?
fixed
slightly moveable
freely moveable (synovial)
what is the articuar / hyaline cartalage ?
coers the neds of the bones where they meet , they are smooth so they prevent friction when the bones rub together
what is the function of ligaments ?
honds bone to bone ensuring the stability of the bone
what is the function of the synovial membrain ?
lines the synovial joint and prodices / contains the synovial fluid
what dose the synovial fluid do?
fluid that helps to reduce friction in the joints
what is the function of the menisci ?
pads of tissue that lie between the articular cartalage and sit within the synovial fluid . they act as skock absorbers redusing the impact on the bones .
what is the function of the pads of fat ?
act as friction reducers in the knee
what is the function of the bursae ?
small sacks filled with fluid , they are located where skin ligaments or bone could cause friction .
