Anatomy
the vertebral column contains____cervical vertebrae,___thoracic vertebrae, and ___lumbar vertebrae
7,12,5
at the hip join on either side, the head of the femur articulates with the
asetabulum
the vertebra that holds up the head and articulates with the occupital condyles of the skull is the
atlas
the odontoid process is found in the
axis
the heavy bones and the strong, stable joints of the pelvic girdle
bear the weight of the body
compared to the pelvis of males, the pelvis of females is
broad, light, and smooth
the atlas and axis are vertebrae identified as
c1 and c2
the anatomical name for the heel bone is the
calcaneus
the vertebrae that stabilize relative positions of the brain and spinal cord are the
cervical vertebrae
of the following selections, the one that correctly identifies the sequence of the vertebrae from superior to inferior is
cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum, coccyx
an enlarge pelvic outlet in the female in an adptation for
child birth
the bone that cannot resist strong forces but proveides the only fixed support for the pectoral girdle is the
clavicle
the only direct connection between the pectoral girdle and the axial skeleton is the
clavicle
the bones of the pectoral girdle include the
clavicles and scapulae
an attachment site for a muscle that closes the anal opening is promary purpose of the
coccyx
the large posterior process on the scapula that articulates with the distal end of the clavicle is the
coracoid process
thoracic vertebrae can be distinguished from other vertebrae by the presence of
facets for the articulation of ribs
the bone that articulates with the coxa at the acetabulum is the
femur
the longest and heaviest bone in the body is the
femur
the thing lateral bone of the lower leg is the
fibula
gaps that permit the passage of nerves running to or from the enclosed spinal cord are called
intervertebral foramina
the pubic symphsis is the articulation that
limits movement between the two pubic bones
the process that the tibia and fibula have in common that acts as a shield for the ankle is the
maliolysis
the bones of the foot are called the
metatarsals
the lumbar vertebrae are the
most massive and least mobile of the vertebrae
the primary type of tissue responsible for stabilizing, posistioning, and bracing the pectoral girdle is
muscles
the pelvic girdle consists of six bones collectively referred to as the
oscoxae
the popliteal ligaments are responsible for reinforcing the backof the
patella
the bones of the fingers and toes are collectively referred to as
phalanges
the primary function of the pectoral girdle is to
position the shoulder joint and provide a base for arm movement
at the glenoid cavity, the scapula articulates with the proximal end of the humerus to from the
shoulder joint
the ulna and radius both have long shafts that contain like process called
styloid processes
costal processes are located on the___vertebrae
thoracic
The vertebrae that indirectly effect changes changes in the volume of the rib cage are the
thoracic vertebrae
cervical vertebrae can usually be distinguished from other vertebrae by the presence of
transverse foramina
the parallel bones that support the forearm are the
ulna and radius
the eight carpal bones represent the bones of the
wrist
