Terminology and Skeletal System Flashcards
How many bones are in the body?
206
What are the two types of bone ?
Axial and Appendicular
What bones are considered Axial bones?
Bones of the head, back(including vertebrae) and chest
Axial like the mid axis of the body
What bones are considered Appendicular bones?
Are the bones related to movement of limbs(Appendicular as in appendages) like arms, legs, and pelvis
What are the two structural classifications of bone?
Spongy(trabecular) and compact bone.
is bone dynamic or static?
Bone is dynamic and gets thicker where there is more stress and force.
What are skeletal articulations?
when two bones come together AKA a joint
what are the types of joints based on the materials that join the bones?
-Fibrous
-Cartilaginous or fibrocartilaginous
-Synovial
(going from least to most mobility)
What are the types of fibrous joints?
- Suture(like between the skull bones)
- Syndesmosis (like between the forearm muscles)
- Gomphosis( between the alveolar bone and teeth)
What are the types of cartilaginous joints?
- Synchondrosis (Primary cartilaginous joint)
- Symphysis( secondary cartilaginous joint )
Synchondrosis
When there is hylain cartilage between bone mainly when there is an epiphyseal growth plate in growing individuals.
Does not persist into adulthood
Symphysis
Cartilage between bones that persists in adults.
like the pelvis and between intervertebral discs
Common features of synovial joints.
- Joint capsule of fibrous tissue encloses the cavity
- Synovial membrane lining the capsule(deep to the capsule)
- Synovial fluid covering joint surfaces
- usually hyaline cartilage covering joint surfaces.
Types of Synovial joints based on axis of movement
- No clear axis of motion
- ——–Plane(gliding)
- Uniaxial
- ——–Hinge(bending)
- ——–Pivot(rotating)
- Biaxial
- ——–Condyloid
- ——–Saddle
- Triaxial
- ——–Ball and Socket
