Q

What are fibrous joints?

very strong, connects
allows no movement

16
Q

What are cartilaginous joints?

A

cartlage that physically holds the bones together
softer then bone but still not a ligament
allows for partal movement in joint
EX: vertebral disc

17
Q

What are Synovial joints?

A

cushined by cartiledge but held together by ligments
also joint cavity filled with synoval fluid to reduce fricyyion, LUBE
EX: Elbow

18
Q

gliding joints

A

description
allow the flat surfaces of bones to slide over each other; give you the ability to walk on uneven surfaces and move your hand to the right and left
ex: ankle

19
Q

pivot joints

A

where two bones turn on each other and allow for rotation of a body part
EX; figit spinner

20
Q

saddle joints

A

allows a bone to move front to back and left to right; more limited movement than a ball-and-socket joint
EX: thumb

21
Q

hinge joints

A

allows bones to move in one direction only, like a swinging doo
EX: Knee

22
Q

ball-and-socket joints

A

the knoblike end of one bone fits into the cup-like end of another; allows movement in almost any direction
EX: shoulder

23
Q

What are bones

A

living tissue

24
Q

WHat do bones do?

A

BOnes contribe to homeostasis by producing blood cells and acting as a storage bank for various minerals- calcuim

25
Q

Three layers of Bone

A

Periosteum
compact bone tissue
spongy bone tissue

26
Q

Periosteum

A

Protective tissue that holds and protects blood vessles that bring nuterients to and remover aste from the bone

27
Q

compact bone tissue

A

It is made of rings of calcium, in the centre are called a Haversian canel through which a small blood vessle can run

28
Q

spongy bone tissue

A

It holds and protects red and yellow bone marrow
Red bone marrow produces red blood cells,
Yellow bone marrow is primarily fat

29
Q

Osteoblasts

A

Removes calcium from the blood and depostis in the bone

30
Q

Osteoclasts

A

removes calcium from the bone and deposits it in the blood

31
Q

types of planes

A

coronal plane
sagittal plane
Transferse plane
