Lab Exam 1 Flashcards
(130 cards)
What are the functions of bones?
- provide central axis
- give body its form
- provide levers for locomotion
- protection for underlying structures
- provide areas of attachment for muscles
- storage
What are the classes of bones?
- Long bones
- Short bones
- Flat bones
- Irregular bones
How many lobes does the brain have? Name them.
6
- frontal
- temporal
- parietal
- occipital
- insular
- limbic lobes
How many bones are in human skeleton?
206.
What does the skeleton framework comprise of?
- Boney
- Cartilage
What are the functions of bone?
- Provide central axis
- Gives body form
- Support body weight
- Provide levers for locomotion
- Protection for underlying structures
- Provide areas of attachment for muscles
- For storage
Where are long bones found?
In limbs where they form levers. I.e., femur.
What is a characteristic of long bones?
They have a long shaft and 2 ends with knobs/balls.
Where are short bones found?
Where skeletons are intended for strength and compactness with limited movement. I.e., hands and feet.
Where are flat bones found?
Where the skeleton protects delicate structures and provides surfaces for muscle attachment. I.e., bones of skull and scapula.
What is a characteristics of irregular bones?
Spongey bone enclosed in a thin layer of compact bone. I.e., T6 vertebrae.
Parts of spongy bone?
- Trabeculae
- Spaces for blood marrow
Are human skeletons complete?
No, human skeletons are not complete because they are constantly changing. The bones in the human body are constantly being broken down and rebuilt, a process called remodeling. This means that most of the adult skeleton is replaced every 10 years.
- As people age, some bones fuse together
- Bone loss, especially in women when they bare children
What are the functions of muscles?
- Articulate (connects) skeleton
- Maintain posture
- Stabilize joints
- Respiration
- Maintain/produce body heat
- Communication
- Constriction of organs and blood vessels
- Movement of blood
- Chewing and swallowing
What are the types of muscles?
- Skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle.
Briefly state all you know about skeletal muscles.
- Articulates skeleton at joints
- Striated and non-branching
- Multinucleate (has more then 1 nucleus)
- Long cylindrical cells (tube-like)
- Voluntary/involuntary control
Draw and label skeletal muscle tissue.
- In Anatomy II Lab Exam 1 document in Word.
Briefly state all you know about smooth muscles.
- Non strained and non branched
- Spindle shaped cells
- Single central nuclei
- Involuntary control
- Organs, blood vessels, eyes, glands, skin, etc
Draw and label smooth muscle tissue.
- In Anatomy II Exam 1 document in Word.
Briefly all you know about cardiac muscle.
- Myocardium (muscle tissue of heart) of heart
- Striated and branched
- Cylindrical cells
- Single central nuclei
- Intercalated discs join cells
- Involuntary control
Draw and label cardiac muscle tissue.
- In Anatomy II Lab Exam 1 document in Word.
Draw smooth, skeletal, and cardiac muscle.
- In Anatomy II Lab Exam 1 document in Word.
What is the relationship of muscle and bone?
- Objective: to facilitate movement.
- Muscles attach to bone.
- Muscles are always under tension.
- Muscles are only able to contract/pull (not to push)
- Muscles work in antagonistic (opposite) pairs
Abduction
Movement away from midline.
