Unit 6: Bones Flashcards
what is the special brand of anatomy for skeletal system
osteology
what are the 5 functions of the skeletal system
provides support and protection by supporting and protecting soft tissues and provides attachment sites for muscles, tendons and ligaments, assistant in movement, mineral homeostasis, blood cell production, and acid-base balance
what are tendons and ligaments
a tendon connects muscle to bones or connects muscle to other muscle. a ligament connects a bone to another bone
what is blood cell production called? how does it happen
hematopoiesis are multipoint stem cells in red bone marrow produce blood cells
what are the two division of the skeleton? humber of bones?what does it include?
axial skeleton has 80 bones which includes bones of skull, hyoid, vertebral column, sternum and ribcage. appendicular skeleton contains 126 bones which include pectoral girdle, upper limbs, pelvic girdle, and lower limbs
what are the 5 possible bone shape
long bones, short bones, sesamoid bones, flat bones, and irregular bones
what are long bones? where are they located? name is tricky btw
they are longer than they are white. have a shaft (central part) and two distinctly different ends (proximal and distal end) located on limbs like humerus and trivia and phalanges
what are short bones? location
have equal length and width; have a cube like shape and are located in carpals and tarsals
what are sesamoid bones? function? located?
a short bone that develops inside a tendon. size can vary. function is to protect tendon from wear and improves movement at a joint. located in patella (present in all people) and palms/soles (not present in all people)
what are flat bones? function? located?
large surface area, are thin, flat and usually curved. function is generally not in movement, they function to provide protection and a surface for muscle attachment.
what are irregular bones? location
have miscellaneous shapes that do not fit with the other categories listed. located in vertebrae and hip bones
what is the definition of bone markings:
surface marking that allow for bones to function
what are the four type of markings?
articulations, extensions & projections, depressions, openings
what are articulations? function? example?
this is a point where one bone meets another bone. forms joints example is coldly.e such as occipital condyle
what are extensions and projection? two function?
these marking stick out from the bone. they form joints and are attachment points for CT and or muscles
