Q

supraorbital foramen

A

bony elongated path located above the orbit (eye socket) and under the forehead. (directly below the eyebrow)

21
Q

Know the facial bones, how many there are and which exist in pairs.

A

maxilla (2) zygomatic (2) lacrimal (2) nasal (2) inferior nasal conchae (2) palatine (2) vomer (1) mandible (1)

22
Q

mandible

A
23
Q

maxilla

A
24
Q

Sinuses + their function

A

reduce the skull’s weight & protect respiratory tract

25
Q

the structure and function of the vertebral column

A 
cervical curvature(yellow) - (c1 holds up skull) c2 (axis) -c7 (c1 is atlas) CONCAVE
 Thoracic curvature (pink) - (t1-t12) CONVEX 
 Lumbar curvature (blue)- (l1-l5) CONCAVE

functions:

  • The vertebrae are support for the body’s frame, keeping it standing upright. It connects the head to the rest of the body.
  • To serve as protection for the spinal cord. The bony rings surround the sensitive spinal canal, which transmits the body’s electrical transmissions from the brain to the rest of the body.
26
Q

what kind of cartilage separates each of most vertebra

A

fibrocartilage discs

27
Q

spinous process

A

part felt on back

28
Q

body (centrum)

A

where intervertebral rests

29
Q

generic vertebra

A
30
Q

Why is the atlas and the axis different from the other cervical vertebra’s?

A

The Atlas is designed to allow a nodding movement, whilst the axis below it has the odontoid peg on it to allow shaking, or rotational movement of the skull.

31
Q

Know the major differences between the 5 types of vertebrae (eg – size of spinous process or body, if they are fused, key traits etc)

A

(7 cervical [S], 12 thoracic [M] (spinous process), and 5 lumbar [L]) followed by the sacrum (5 fused sacral vertebrae) and the coccyx (4 frequently fused coccygeal vertebrae).

32
Q

composition of the bony thorax

A
  • sternum
  • ribs
  • thoracic vertebra
33
Q

sacrum & coccyx

A
34
Q

Sternum

A
35
Q

how do the ribs articulate with sternum?

A

through costal cartilige (if they do not they are referred to as floating ribs)

36
Q

how many bones are in the appendicular skeleton? what are the two girdles?

A

126

  • pelvic
  • pectoral
37
Q

What bones make up the pectoral girdle? How do they articulate with each other? What is the function(s)
of this girdle?

A
  • composed of : clavicle, and scapula
  • the medial end of each clavicle articulates with the manubrium and first rib
  • Laterally, the ends join the scapulae
  • pectoral girdle attaches the upper limbs to the trunk / provides attachment for many muscles that move the upper limb
38
Q

scapula

A

-generally triangle, flattened body, and two processes

39
Q

What bone makes up the arm?

A

the humerus

40
Q

What bones make up the forearm? What happens to these bones during pronation and supination?

A
  • radius and ulna
  • pronation (radius rotates over ulna)
  • supination (radius and ulna are parallel)
41
Q

compare/contrast osteoblasts, osteocytes, osteoclasts

A

osteoblasts: bone cells that build bone tissue
osteoclasts: bone cells that break down bone tissue
osteocytes: mature bones

42
Q

bone matrix

A
  • non cellular substance
  • 25% fibrous protein
  • 25% water
  • 50% crystalized mineral salt
43
Q

Compare/contrast compact bone and spongy bone

A

compact

  • few spaces between hard componets
  • makes external layer of all bones
  • provides: structure, and site of attachment for tendons and ligaments

spongy

  • does not contain true osteons
  • made up of lamellae that are arranged in a lattice of thin columns of bone
  • trabeculae are filled with red bone marrow
44
Q

What is a fontanel and where are they found? Why are they were they are located?

A
  • fibrous membrane (soft spots) found on an infants skull
  • they allow for larger brain capacity (help infant head deal with the pressure of passing down the vaginal canal)
45
Q

how is a fetal skeleton different from an adult skeleton?

A
  • A fetal skeleton is more elastic than an adult skeleton. The bones of an adult skeleton are more brittle. Bones in a fetal skeleton will break more easily.
  • made up of hyaline cartilage
46
Q

Why is the pelvic girdle made up of heavy bones with many thick ligaments wrapped around?

A

provides strong, stable support for the vertebral column, protects the organs of the pelvis, and provides a site for the lower limbs to attach to the axial skeleton.

47
Q

the bones that make up the wrist, hand, and fingers and how they articulate

A
  • carpals (wrist)
  • metacarpals (hand)
  • phalanges (fingers)

intermetacarpal articulation

48
Q

intertubercular groove

A
