Chapter 8

Acetabulum

a depression in the hip bone that receives the head of the femur

Cervical

a secondary curvature of the vertebral column that develops as a result of a child being able to holds its head without support

Distal Phalanx

bones in the tip of the fingers

Epicondyle

bump on condyle of femur

Coronoid Fossa of Humerus

coronoid process of ulna

Fovea Capitis

depression on head of femur

Lateral Malleolus

distal end of fibula at ankle

Linea Aspera

elevated midline ridge on shaft

The parietal bones meet the frontal bone along the sagittal source?

false

Two of the false ribs, the eleventh and twelfth ribs, are called floating ribs because they do not have a posterior attachment to the spine.

false

Sacrum

five fused vertebrae

Coccyx

four vertebrae compromising the "tailbone"

What Hard Palate is Composed of

maxillary and palatine bones

Tibia

medial epicondyle

Olecranon

most proximal feature of the ulna

Capitulum

part of humerus that articulates with the head of the radius

Sphenoid

part of the sella turcica

Patella

patellar intercondylar surface of femur

The ________ is the border between the true and false pelvis.

pelvis inlet

Greater Trochanter

projects laterally at junction of neck/shaft

True Ribs

ribs that join the sternum directly by costal cartilages

In the appendicular skeleton, the pectoral girdle is made up of the _____________ and the _______________.

scapula, clavicle

In the anatomical position, the radius and ulna are parallel to one another. Therefore, the forearm is in the _________ position.

supinated

Coronal

suture between frontal and parietal bones

Thoracic and Sacral Curvatures

the primary curves of the vertebral column

Lambdoid Suture

the suture that articulates with most bones

Trochlea of Humerus Articulation

trochlear notch of ulna

A middle phalanx is not present in the thumb.

true

Most ribs have two articulations with the vertebrae, they head articulates with the body and the tubercle articulates with the transverse process.

true

The deltoid tuberosity is part of the humorous.

true

The fibula does Not bear any weight during walking or standing

true

The sternum consists of the manubrium, body, and xiphoid process.

true

The superior seven pairs of ribs are called true ribs because they directly attach to the sternum through the costal cartilages.

true

The thoracic cage consists of the thoracic vertebrae, the ribs, and the sternum.

true

The upper limbs are more mobile but less stable as compared to the lower limbs.

true

Pollex

two phalanges compromising the thumb

Short Bones

what the bones of the wrist and ankles are classified as

What Processes the Zygomatic Arch is Composed of

zygomatic and temporal bones

Lumbar Vertebrae

-five vertebrae in the low back -largest vertebrae

Condyle

-large, smooth, rounded articulating oval structure -tibial surface articulating with femur

Femur

-longest bone in the body -extends from the hip to the knee -has a large, rounded head -articulates with the patella

Facial Bones

-maxilla -nasal -zygomatic

Cranium

-occipital -parietal -temporal

Tibial Tuberosity

-patellar ligament attachment site

Bones That Make up the Os Coxae

-pubis -ilium -ischium

Cervical Vertebrae

-seven vertebrae in the neck -contains transverse foramina

Cranium and Orbit

-sphenoid -ethmoid -frontal

Parts of a typical vertebra.

-spinous process -body -vertebral forman

Medial Malleolus

-the process of the tibia you are feeling when you palpate the medial side of your ankle -distal process of tibia at ankle

Thoracic Vertebrae

-twelve vertebrae that articulate with ribs -costal facets articulate with ribs

Functions of the Paranasal Sinuses

-warm and humidify air -make some skull bones lighter -provide resonance to the voice

Orbit

-zygomatic -maxilla

Proximal Phalanx

articulates with metacarpal

Olecranon Fossa of Humerus Articulation

olecranon of ulna
