Plantar Flexion:

A

Movement that increases angle between foot and lower leg (pointing toe downwards, stand up on tippy toes)

43
Q

Opposition

A

thumb comes in contact with finger

44
Q

Reposition

A

thumb returns back to anatomical position

45
Q

Elevation

A

moving shoulders towards ears

46
Q

Depression

A

moving shoulders away from ears

47
Q

What plane and axis is flexion/extension?

A

Saggital plane, horizontal axis

48
Q

what plane and axis is rotation

A

Transverse plane, longitudinal axis

49
Q

What plane and axis is Abduction and Adduction

A

Frontal plane, anterior posterior axis

50
Q

What do markings on bones serve as

A

Attachment sites for tendons or ligaments
Passageways for nerves and blood vessels
Points of articulation with other bones

51
Q

List the 5 functions of bones

A

structural support, protection, blood cell and platelet formation, reservoir of minerals, and movement

52
Q

What are the 5 types of bones

A

Long bones, short bones, irregular bones, sesamoid bones, flat bones

53
Q

What is a long bone

A

A long bone is longer than they are wide, have a middle (diaphysis) and two ends (epiphysis)

54
Q

What is a short bone

A

Usually cube-shaped. Length, width, and height are all the same. found in wrist and ankles

55
Q

What is a flat bone

A

thin flattened bones that are usually curved. Protect vital organs: skull, ribs

56
Q

What is an irregular bone

A

Odd looking bones that do not fit into other categories

57
Q

What is a sesamoid bone

A

Unusual bones, in that they are flat, small bones that are wrapped within tendons and move over bony surfaces. Example: Patella

58
Q

List the facial bones

A

zygomatic bones (2), maxilla bones (2), mandible bone (1)

59
Q

list the cranial bones

A

parietal bones (2), temporal bones (2), occipital bone (1), frontal bone (1), sphenoid bones (2)

60
Q

What does the skull rest on

A

Superior end of vertebral column

61
Q

Where are the zygomatic bones located

A

Cheeks (below eyes)

62
Q

Where are the maxilla bones located

A

upper lip area, around nose, upper jaw

63
Q

Where is the mandible bone located

64
Q

Where are the parietal bones located

A

Top of head, separated by the sagittal suture

65
Q

Where are the temporal bones located

A

directly above ears

66
Q

Where is the occipital bone located

A

lower back of head, towards neck

67
Q

Where is the frontal bone located

68
Q

Where are the sphenoid bones located

A

above ear, closer to eye

69
Q

How many verterbae does the adult human have

70
Q

What are the three types of Vertebrae and their numbers

A

Cervical Vertebrae (C1 - C7), Thoracic Vertebrae (T1-T12) and Lumbar Vertebrae (L1-L5)

71
Q

What is the C1 Vertebrae called and how is it different from the rest

A

Atlas: No body, Superior surface of its transverse processes contain large depressions (superior articular facets) that receive occipital condyles of skull, which allow for the flexion and extension of neck (yes movement)

72
Q

What is the C2 Vertebrae called and how is it different from the rest

A

Axis: Upright process called “dens” which acts as a pivot joint for atlas and skull. Allows for rotation of head (no movement)

73
Q

Describe the structure of a Thoracic Vertebrae

A

Facets on side of bodies and transverse process for articulation with ribs, Bodies somewhat heart shaped

74
Q

Describe the structure of a Lumbar vertebrae

A

Massive block-likes bodies, weight bearing and thick
Sturdiest vertebrae
Short hatchet shaped spinous processes

75
Q

What is the thorax made up of

A

Sternum, ribs, and thoracic vertebrae

76
Q

Function of ribs

A

to protect thoracic organs

77
Q

Describe how the ribs attach to body

A

thoracic vertebrae attach to ribs posteriorly
sternum attaches to ribs anteriorly.
7 pairs are true ribs because they attach directly to sternum, next 5 pairs are false ribs because they either attach indirectly to sternum (attach to 7th rib) or are not attached to sternum at all, and 2 pairs of false ribs lack attachment so are called floating ribs

78
Q

What are the 3 bones that fuse together to make sternum

A

Manubrium, body, and xiphoid process.

79
Q

What are the 5 roles of the skeletal system

A
  1. Structural support 2. protection 3. growth center for cells 4. reservoir of minerals 5. movement
80
Q

What is the axial skeleton

A

The axial skeleton is comprised mainly of the vertebral column (the spine), much of the skull, and the rib cage.

81
Q

What is the appendicular skeleton

A

The appendicular skeleton includes the movable limbs and their supporting structures (girdles). They play a key role in allowing us to move.

82
Q

What are the 6 major regions of the appendicular skeleton

A

Pectoral girdle, arms and forearms, hands, pelvis, thighs and legs, feet and ankles
