Skeletal System (D1:4)
What are ligaments?
Connect bone to bone, have little blood supply, and are slow to heal.
What is the term for flattened or indented portions of bone?
Depressions
What types of joints are associated with movement?
Synovial joints
What is responsible for providing shape and form to our bodies in addition to supporting, protecting, allowing bodily movement, producing blood for the body, and storing minerals?
The Skeletal System
The shoulder, pelvic girdles, and lower and upper extremities are included in which skeletal system?
The appendicular system
The axial and appendicular skeletal systems are the two divisions of the skeletal system. What do each of those include?
The axial includes: the skull, rib cage, and vertebral column. The appendicular includes: the upper and lower extremities and the shoulder and pelvic girdles
The skull, rib cage, and vertebral column are included in which skeletal system?
The axial system
The backbone and spinal column are also known as what?
The vertebral column
What consisted of irregularly shaped bone called vertebrae?
The vertebral column
What is the function of the joints?
They allow for motion and thus movement. It's important to note that all joints in the human body are linked together.
How are joints formed?
They are formed by one bone that articulated with another bone.
What are synovial joints?
They are held together by a joint capsule and ligaments and are associated with movement.
What are non-synovial joints?
They have no joint cavity, connective tissue or cartilage. They have little to no movement.
What is arthrokinematics?
joint motion
What are depressions?
Flattened or indented portions of bone, which can be muscle attachment sites.
What are the two important joint types to know?
Hinge -elbows, ankles; sagittal plane movement Ball and socket - shoulders, hips; most mobile, all three planes of motion. Wh
What is weight bearing exercise?
It is the best method to strengthen bones
What does the skeletal system do?
It provides shape and form for our bodies in addition to supporting, protecting, allowing bodily movement, producing blood for the body, and storing minerals.
What are the functions of the skeletal system?
It supports, protects, allows bodily movement, produces blood, and stored minerals.
What is the vertebral column?
It's the backbone of spinal column and it consists of a series of irregularly shaped bones called vertebrae.
What allows for motion and movement and is linked together with all of its partners?
Joints
What is formed by one bone that articulated with another bone?
Joints
What is linked together and allows for motion thus movement?
Joints
What has little blood supply and is slow to heal?
Ligaments
What is the appendicular skeleton?
Lower and upper extremities, shoulder and pelvic girdles
Roll, slide, and spin are all what?
Major motion types
Ball and socket movements move in all three planes of motion. An example of ball an socket movements are in the shoulders and hips. What is ball and socket an example of?
One of the two important joint motions
Hinge happens in the elbows and ankles and moves in a sagittal plane, what is this an example of?
One of the two important joint motions
What are projections protruding from a bone that muscles, tendons, and ligaments can attach to?
Processes
What are projections protruding from a bone?
Processes
What are processes?
Projections protruding from a bone. Muscles, tendons, and ligaments can attach.
What are the three major motion types ?
roll, slide, spin
What is the axial skeleton?
skull, vertebral column, rib cage
Hinge is one of the two most important joint motions, what is the second one?
Ball and socket
What supports, protects, allows bodily movement, produces blood, and stored minerals?
The skeletal system
What are the two divisions of the skeletal system? What are they made of?
The two divisions are the axial and appendicular skeletal systems. The axial is made up of the skull, rib cage, and vertebral column. The appendicular is made up of upper and lower extremities and the shoulder and pelvic girdles.
The axial and appendicular skeletal systems are an example of what?
