what is the single point of attachment of the shoulder girdle to the axial skeleton
the clavicle attaches medially to the sternum
where are the carpals found, and what type?
they are short bones found in the wrist
what three bones form the hip bone? what two bones form each pectoral girdle
ilium ischium and pubis
in what three ways does the bony pelvis of a woman differ from that of a man?
the female pelvis is broader, lighter, has less acute pubic angle, ,a wider inlet and outlet, and shorter ischial spines
what two bones form the skeleton of the leg?
tibia and fibula
bo’s longitudinal and medial arches have suffered a collapse. What is the name of bo’s condition
flat feet
which bones of the lower limb has an intertrochanteric line and crest and an intercondylar fossa?
femur
what are the funcitons of joints
to connect bones together and allow flexibility in the body
what is the major difference between fibrous joint and cartilaginous joint?
fibrous joints have connective tissue fibers in fibrous joint and cartilage in cartilaginous jionts
where is synovial membrane found and what is its role
they line synovial joint capsules and they provide a source of lubricating fluid for the joint
what two joints of the body are ball-and- socket joints? what is the best examples of a saddle joint
shoulder and hip; carpometacarpal joint of hte thumb is a saddle joint
flexible, lightweight, shallow socket for limb attachment; consists of clavicle and a scapula
pectoral girdle (shoulder girdle)
collarbone; a slender, doubly curved bone, attaches to the manubrium of the sternum medially and to the scapula laterally
clavicle
shoudler blades, triangular and are comonly called “wings”
scapulae
enlarged end of the spine of the scapula
acromion
beaklike end of the spine of the scapula
coracoid process
serves as a nerve passageway;
suprascapular notch
shallow socket that receives the head of the arm bone
glenoid cavity
single bone that forms the arm; a typical long bone
humerous
separates two bony projections anterolateral to the head
intertubercular
midpoint of the shaft of the humerous is the deltoid tuberosity; this is where the large, fleshy deltoid muscle of the shoulder attaches
deltoid tuberosity
runs obliquely down posterior aspect of the shaft; marks the course of the radial nerve ( an important nerve of the upper limb)
radial groove
distal end of the humerous; looks like a spool
trochlea
Contrast the general function of the axial skeleton to that of the appendicular skeleton
the axial skeleton makes up the axis of the body and protects the brain and viscera
