Q

Purpose of Skeletal System

A

Protect soft tissues, internal organs

Give body shape

Allow for movement

(Store Ca)

(Form Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, and Platelets

2

A

6 Cap protects Brain, builds eyes/ face 1. Frontal (1) 2. Parietal (2) 4. Temporal (2) 5. Occiputal (1) (Foramen magnum)

3
Q

Bones: Skull (Cranium) “Foramen Magnum”

  3. Zygomatic (2): cheek bones
  4. Nasal (2)
  5. Sphenoid (1): butterfly behind eyes
  6. Ethmoid (1): between lacrimal and sphenoid
  7. Lacrimal (2): between Nasal and Ethmoid
  8. Vomer (1): inferior to Ethmoid
  9. Palatine (2): roof of mouth
  10. Inferior Nasal Concha (2)
    (11. Hyoid (1): throat)
5

A

33 Vertebrae

  1. Cervical (7): skull rests on first cervical vertebrae “Atlas”
  2. Thoracic (12)
  3. Lumbar (5)
  4. Sacral (5): fused together “Sacrum”
  5. Coccygeal (4): fused together “Coccyx” tailbone
8
Q

Bones: Thorax

A

27 1. Sternum: manubrium, body, xiphoid process 2. Clavicle (2): collar bone 3. Ribs (12 pairs- 24): anchored to Spinal Column, Sternum via cartilage [5 pairs to Sternum, 5 pair anterior ribs below Sternum, 2 pairs “floating”]

9
Q

Bones: Thorax “Thoracic cavity”

A

Chest Formed by 12 Thoracic vertebrae and 12 pairs of Ribs Heart, Lungs, Esophagus, Aorta, 2 Venae cavae

10
Q

Bones: Thorax “Intercostal space”

A

Space between Rib 1 and 2= first intercostal space Space between Rib 2 and 3= second intercostal space etc.

11
Q

Bones: Pelvis

A

6 Formed by Sacrum, 2 Pelvic Bones (3 bones fused together) 1. Ilium (2): posterior “wings” 2. Pubis (2): anterior 3. Ischium (2): inferior to Pubis

12
Q

Bones: Pelvis “Pubic symphysis”

A

Anterior joining of Public bones Cartilage within to allow for movement

13
