1
Q

Functions of the skeletal system

A

provides shape and form to body
supporting, protecting and allowing bodily movement
producing blood for the body and storing minerals

2
Q

Joints

A

Junctions of bones, muscles, and connective tissue at which movement occurs. Also known as an articulation.

3
Q

Axial Skeleton

A

Portion of the skeletal system that consists of the skull, rib cage, and vertebral column

4
Q

Appendicular Skeleton

A

Portion of the skeletal system that includes the upper and lower extremities

5
Q

Bone Remodeling

A

The process of resorption and formation of bone

6
Q

Osteoclasts

A

a type of bone cell that removes bone tissue

7
Q

Osteoblasts

A

a type of cell that is responsible for bone formation

8
Q

Types of bones

A

Long Bone
Short Bone
Flat Bone
Sesamoid Bone
Irregular Bone

9
Q

What are the two types of bone markings?

A

Depressions and Processes. Depressions are indents and Processes are outcroppings. Both appear on the surface of bones to assist in muscle and tendon attachment. Tendons and ligaments too.

10
Q

Depressions

A

Flattened or indented portions of the bone, which can be muscle attachment sites.

11
Q

Processes

A

Projections protruding from the bone where muscles, tendons, and ligaments can attach.

12
Q

Parts of the vertebral column

A

Cervical Spine
Thoracic Spine
Lumbar Spine
Sacrum
Coccyx

13
Q

Cervical Spine

A

1st seven vertebrae starting at the top of the spinal column

14
Q

Thoracic spine

A

Twelve vertebrae located in the upper/middle back behind the ribs

15
Q

Lumbar spine

A

Five vertebrae of the low back below the thoracic spine

16
Q

Sacrum

A

Triangular bone located below the lumbar spine

17
Q

Coccyx

A

Located below the sacrum, more commonly known as the tailbone

18
Q

Arthrokinematics

A

Joint motion

19
Q

Synovial Joints

A

Joints that are held together by a joint capsule and ligaments and are most associated with movement in the body

20
Q

Nonsynovial joints

A

Joints that do not have a joint cavity, connective tissue, or cartilage.
