test 3 the skeletal system Flashcards
two main parts of the skeleton
axial and appendicular
what is the axial part of the skelton
runs down the middle
3 parts of the axial skeleton
skull, vertebral column, thorax
3 parts of the appendicular skelteon
limbs, pelvic griddle, shoulder griddle
wha is the appendicular part of the skeleton
branches off the middle
what are the two main types of bones
compact bones and spongy bone
what is compact bone
makes up the outside of most bones
what is the compact bone filled with
solidly filled with matrix
which of the two bone types is the most common
compact bone
what is spongy bone
makes up the inside of most bones
has many holes inside
where is spongy bone found
in the marrow area of bones
what are the 5 shapes of bone
long, shorts, flat, sesamoid, irregular
what are long bones
“standard” idea of a bone that are longer than they are thick
standard bones are the most important part of what
skeletal movement
what are the three parts of long bones
epiphysis, metaphysis, diaphysis
what is the epiphysis
head, had red marrow
what is the metaphysis
“growth plate”
what is the diaphysis
shaft, has white marrow
what else are long bones important for
support
how do long bones grow longer
metaphysis: in young bones it is made of cartilage and creates new bone on diaphyseal side and cartilage on epiphyseal side.
what is the epiphyseal plate
the growth plate
what happens once the bone has stopped growing
it ossifies and turns into an epiphyseal line
what is ossifying
cartilage turns to bone
what are the long bones in your arm
the radius: forearm lateral in anatomical position
the ulna: forearm, medial in anatomical position
the humerus: upper arm bone
what are the long bones in your leg
femur: thigh area, longest and strongest bone in the body
tibia: “shinbone”, bears most weight of any bone
fibula: lateral to tibia, dosen’t bear weight
what are the long bones in your hand
metacarpals, phalanges
how many phalanges in the body
56
what are metacarpals
longer bones that connect to wrist, 5 of them in hand
what are phalanges
shorter bones, 3 on each finger except on thumb (pollex) , which has 2
hand numbering
pinky finger= 5
thumb = 1
furthest phalanx
distal
closest phalanx
proximal
what are the long bones of the foot
the metatarsals and phalanges
what are metatarsals
longer bones that connect to the ankle, there are 5 of them
what are the phalanges (foot)
shorter bones-3 on each toe except on big toe (hallux) which has 2
foot numbering
pinky toe= 5, big toe = 1
(foot) what is the furthest phalanx
distal
(foot) closest phalanx
proximal
what is the clavicle
the collarbone an the most commonly broken bone
what is the first bone to begin ossification
the clavicle
last bone to finish ossification
clavicle
what are short bones
as wide as they are lomg
what do short bones do
provide structure and support but little movement
wrist/hand bones?
8 carpals
foot/ankle bones
7 tarsals
what are flat bones
bones that are flat in shape they are predominantly for protection
what are the 3 bones of the pelvis
ilium, ischium, pubis
what is another flat bone example
skull, ribs and sternum, pelvis, scapula
how are ribs numbered
from top to bottom
how are ribs attached to the sternum
costal cartilage
how many ribs are true
1-7
how many ribs are false
8-12 rbs
what are false ribs
connect to rib #7
what are floating ribs
ribs that do not connect to the sternum at
which ribs are floating ribs
1 and 12
what is the xiphoid process
flat projection at the base of sternum
what is the scapula
the shoulder base
what are sesamoid bones
flattish bones embedded in a tendon or muscle
the most basic example of sesamoid bones
the kneecap (patella)
how do sesamoid bones generally grow
in response to stress or strain in a tendon
where are sesamoid bones often found
in toes
do sesamoid bones vary by person
yes
what are irregular bones
bones with shapes that don’t fall into another category
examples of irregular bone
vertebrae in back
many lower facial bones
hypoid bone in neck that connects tongue
how many vertebrae make up your spine
33
what are the 5 different kinds of vertebrae
cervical thoracic lumbar sacral coccyx
cervical
7 of them
thoracic
12 of them, each articulates with a rib
lumbar
5 of them
sacral
5 of them fused together
coccyx
4 of them fused together
each vertebra has a similar body
- body
- canal
- processes
body of vertebra
bears weight
canal of vertebra
allows spinal cord to pass
processes of vertebra
allow muscle attachment
how does the spine generally run
straight dow n the midline and has a slight S shape
what are the 3 common deformities
scoliosis
kyphosis
lordosis
what is scoliosis
side-to-side sway
what is kyphosis
forward bend of T and S regions
what is lordosis
backward bend of L and C regions
what are joints
where bones meet other bones
how may joints in the body
over 200
how are joints sorted
by how much they move
three things joints can be
synarthroses, amphiarthroses, diarthroses
what is singular synarthroses
synarthrosis
what are synarthroses
immovable joints,
what are amphiarthroses
aka slightly movable joints
example of synarthroses
plates of skull fuse together
example of amphiarthroses
connections between vertebrae in back
what are diarthroses
freely movable joints
diarthroses are filled with what in synovial joints
a liquid called synovial fluid
what does synovial fluid do
lubricate the joint
