Function of bones

Support of the body
· Protection of soft organs
· Movement due to attached skeletal muscles
· Storage of minerals and fats
· Blood cell formation

Bones are classified by their shape:

1.Long
2.Short-
3.Flat-
4.Irregular-

usually affects joints symmetrically (on both sides equally), may initially begin in a couple of joints only, and most frequently attacks, the wrists, , hands, elbows, shoulders, knees and ankles

Rheumatoid arthritis

Perfectly

Symptoms of RA

Worsened with age: Joint pain Stiffness

Types of arthritis

Rheumatoid arthritis Osteoarthritis

Autoimmune, inflammatory response (swelling) immune cells attack healthy cells by mistake (there is painful swelling)

Early signs of RA

Joint pain Tenderness Stiffness/swelling

Degenarative joint disease tissues in bones/joints break down over time Most common type of arthritis, older people

Osteoarthritis

Parts of Spinal cord

Cervical vertebrae (C1-C7) Thoracic vertebrae (T1-T12) Lumbar vertebrae (L1-L5) Sacrum (S1-S5)

Atlas

Axis

Tailbone

Coccyx

How many Ribs

24 Ribs (12 pairs)

3 Types of Ribs:

-True Ribs (1-7) -False Ribs (8-12) -Floating Ribs (11-12)

Vertebrosternal ribs

True ribs

Vertebrochondral ribs

False ribs

Vertebral ribs

Floating ribs

Bone with Crescent ueruch? With notches

Ulna

Bone with flat, round head

Radius

Bone under patella

Tibia

Heelbone (sakong)

Calcaneus

Hearing, memory, language

Temporal lobe

Vision

Occipital lobe

Touch, taste, temperature

Parietal lobe

Thinking, memory, behavior, movement

Frontal lobe

Example of hinge joint

(Elbow, Knee)

Example of ball and socket joint

Femur attached to pelvis

Example of long bone

Arms - humerus Legs - femur Humerus of arms

Example of short bone

Wrist, ankles Carpals of wrist

Example of flat bone

Skull, sternum Parietal bone of skull

Example of irregular bone

Pelvis, vertebrae

Longer Than They Are Wide

Long Bones

Cube-shaped

Short Bones

Thin And Flat Has Large Surfaces For Muscle Attachments

Flat Bones

Complicated Shapes that cannot be Classified as "Long", "Short" or "Flat".

Irregular Bones

Most Are Un-named.

Sesamoid Bones

Function Mechanical Strength

Long Bones Long Bones Long Bones Long Bones

Function Multi-directional Motion

Short Bones

Mechanical Protection to Soft Tissues Beneath

Flat Bones

Provides Major Mechanical Support for the Body Vertebra Protects the Spinal Cord

Irregular Bones

Protects From Additional Friction And Use - can form in Palms And Soles

Sesamoid bones

Example long bone

Femur Tibia Fibula Humerus Ulna Radius

Example of short bones

Carpal Bones (Of The Hands/Wrists) And The Tarsal Bones (Of The Feet/Ankles).

Example of flat bone

•Cranial Bones •Sternum •Ribs •Scapulae

Example of irregular bone

•Vertebrae •Hyoid Bone •Sphenoid Bone •Facial Bones.
