Q

Which of the following is not a function of the skeletal system

Regulation of blood pressure

maria observes a patient in her clinic with a spinal curvature abnormality. she notices the patient's spine curves laterally form the midline. determine the abnormality she observed and explain how she differentiated it from the other two types of spinal abnormalities

maria has scoliosis. scoliosis is an extreme lateral curve of the spine. kyphosis is the extreme inward curve of the spine, and lordosis is the extreme outward curve of the spine.

How does the formation of a bony callus assist with the process of bone healing after a fracture?

The body callus is made of spongy bone, which replaces the fibrocartilage callus.

the process of ones formation is known as

ossification

The arrangement of bone tissue shown in the photo consists of

osteons (Haversian systems)

explain the five functions of the skeletal system

provides support to the body, forms body's internal structural framework, helps movements by muscles attached to bones by tendons, protects soft organs of the body, stores minerals and fats, and participates in hematopoiesis (formation of blood cells)

What bones protect the spinal cord?

Vertebrae

Cube-shaped bones that contain mostly spongy bone are called __ bones

short

the axial skeleton contains

skull, true and false ribs, and vertebrae

the fibula is indicated by

X

the temporal bones are joined with the parietal bones at the ___ sutures

squamous

two or more bones meet at a location called an

articulation (joint)

The skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage form the __ skeleton

axial

how would you classify the shoulder and hip joints?

ball-and-socket joint

small canals that connect osteocytes in their lacunae to the central canal are known as

canaliculi

from superior to inferior, what is the correct order of the vertebrae?

cervical, thoracic, and lumbar

which of these bones is the most inferior

coccyx

what part of axis (c2) allows you to pivot your head left and right as if to say "no"?

dens

a fracture in the ___ can impair the lengthwise growth of bones in a child

epiphyseal plate

select the functional type of joint with the least amount of mobility

synarthrosis

what type of joint shown in the figure?

synovial joint

you examine an articulated skeleton in the laboratory and determine the skeleton to be a female since ___.

the distance between the female ischial spines is greater than in a male

t/f: the medial malleolus of the tibia and lateral malleolus of the fibula form the two parts of the ankle

true

t/f: the skeletal system is divided into two parts: the axial skeleton, the bones that form the longitudinal axis of the body, and the appendicular skeleton, the bones of the limbs and girdles

true

which type of rib connects directly to the sternum by way of costal cartilage

true ribs only

what will decrease a person's risk for development of the bone-thinning disease known as osteoporosis?

weight-bearing exercises

you're assisting with an exam for a young boy who broke the distal ends of his fibula and tibia. the physician examined the X-ray and discussed the evaluation with the family. The conversation focused on the potential loss of lengthwise growth at the broken end of the boy's bones. from this information, you assess the break must have affected the ___

epiphyseal plate

a newborn baby has an S-Shaped spinal curvature known as a primary curvature.

false

t/f: osteoporosis is a bone-thinning disease that often affects young women.

false

t/f: the last two pairs of ribs are called true ribs because they have no attachments to the sternum

false

t/f: the spinal cord passes through the body of each vertebra

false

The large hole located in the base of the occipital bone that allows the spinal cord and brain to connect is the __

foramen magnum

the head of the humerus fits into the ___ of the scapula

glenoid cavity.
