1. long bones 2. flat bones 3. short bones 4. irregular bones

27

Long bones

long, tubular bones typically found in the limbs

28

33

Synovial joint

- most common type of joint which provides the greatest range of motion. - Consists of 2 bones whose articular surfaces are covered by hyaline cartilage (articular cartilage). - Bones are separated by a joint cavity lined with synovial membrane and surrounded by a fibrous capsule. - The synovial membrane produces synovial fluid

34

What are the 3 types of synovial joints? Give examples

1. Uniaxial - 1 type of movement 2. Biaxial - 2 types of movement 3. Multiaxial - multiple types of movement

35

Contraction of the heart

37

What are some the functions of smooth muscle? (stomach, intestines, blood vessels) (4)

1. Movement of internal organs (e.g peristalsis) 2. Constriction of blood vessels 3. Secretion from glands 4. Goosebumps (erector pilae muscles)

38

Sarcomere

Basic functional unit of muscle

39

Order muscle structure from smallest to largest

Sarcomere --> Myofibrils --> muscle fibers --> muscle fascicles --> muscle

40

Collinear muscles

Long parallel fibres with greater range of motion, but generate less force

41

Pennate muscles

feather-like, shorter, angled fibres with lesser range of motion, but generate large amounts of force

42

What is an antagonist muscle?

A muscle that produces movement in the opposite direction

43

What are the components of the axial skeleton? (4)

1. skull 2. vertebrae 3. ribs 4. sternum (breastbone)

44

Name the sections of the vertebral column starting from the top

cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacral, coccygeal (coccyx)

45

What are the 3 functions of the vertebral column?

1. support - maintain upright posture 2. protection - for spinal cord 3. movement - flexion/extension, lateral flexion, rotation

46

How many curvatures does the vertebral column have?

4; cervical (2 degrees), thoracic (1) , lumbar (2), sacral (1)

47

Primary curvatures

present at birth and are due to the shape of the vertebral bodies

48

secondary (compensatory) curvatures

are postural and are mainly due to the shape of the intervertebral discs

49

When does upright posture begin?

12-18 months

50

When does an infant start supporting its head?

4-9 months

51

Excessive thoracic curvature

kyphosis (hunchback)

52

Excessive lumbar curvature

lordosis (swayback)

53

scoliosis

abdnormal lateral curvature of the spine

54

What are the two main sections of a vertebrae that make up its general structure?

1. Body 2. Vertebral Arch

55

Vertebral arch functions

It is the posterior portion of the vertebrae, and surrounds and protects the spinal cord. It forms a closed circle with the body of the vertebrae

56

2 parts of the vertebral arch

1. pedicles; which extend posterior from both sides of the body 2. laminae; complete the posterior margins of the arch

57

spinous processes

bony processes which extend posteriorly from the junction of the two laminae

58

transverse processes

bony processes which extend sideways from the junction between the pedicle and lamina

59

vertebral foramen

the opening created by the vertebral arch. Contains the spinal cord. Together, the vertebral foramina form the vertebral canal

60
What is the function of the spinous process and transverse process?
muscle attachement
61
What is the function of the articular process?
Restriction of movement
62
What is the function of the vertebral arch?
protection of the spinal cord
63
vertebral body
support of body weight
64
What is the intervertebral foramen and what is its function.
a foramen produced from two notches when two vertebrae are stacked on top of each other. It provides a passage for spinal nerves to exit the vertebral column
65
What is the function of the Intervertebral disc ?
It is the secondary cartilaginous joints between vertebral bodies. Functions to stabilize the vertebral column, weight bearing, and shock absorption
66
What are the 2 main parts of an intervertebral disc?
1. Annulus fibrosus | 2. Nucleus pulposus
67
annulus fibrosus
tough, fibrocartilage rings that make up the outer wall of the intervertebral disc. Distribute pressure evenly.
68
nucleus pulposus
the jelly-like substance in the middle of the intervertebral disc - shock absorber
69
What is an intervertebral disc herniation
When the annulus fibrosus degenerates and ruptures the nucleus pulpous herniates through the tear and presses on a spinal nerve or on the spinal cord.
70
Zygapophyseal (facet) joints
- joints between vertebral arches | - they are flat surfaces
71
superior and inferior articular processes
the bony processes which extend upwards and downwards from the junction between the pedicle and lamina
72
What numbers are the cervical vertebrae?
C3-C7
73
What are the distinguishing features of the cervical vertebrae?
- small vertebral bodies - short transverse process - foramina carry vertebral arteries (except C7) - C7 has the longest spinous process of the cervical vertebrae and is not bifid - facets are at 45 degree angles large vertebral foramen
74
What is the cervical vertebrae C1? What is its function?
- Atlas - supports the skull - no vertebral body - no spinous process - 2 lateral masses joined by anterior and posterior arches - tubercles in the vertebral foramen for attachment of the transverse ligament of atlas - superior articular facets articulate with the occipital condyle of the skull
75
The superior articulate facets articulate with which part of the skull?
occipital condyle
76
What is C2 called?
axis
77
what is the defining feature of the axis? Why is it important?
the dens; projects through the vertebral foramen to articulate with the atlas. It is held in place by the transverse ligament of the atlas
78
Junction of C1/C2
creates the Atlanto-Axial joint
79
What are the distinguishing features of the thoracic vertebrae? (6)
1. heart shaped vertebral body 2. superior and inferior costal facets on vertebral body for rib attachment 3. round vertebral foramen 4. long pointed spinous vertebrae that overlap each other like shingles on a roof - stability 5. long transverse processes for rib attachment 6. superior and inferior articular facets are vertical and facilitate lateral flexion
80
What are the distinguishing features of the lumbar vertebrae?
1. Large kidney-shaped bodies 2. triangular vertebral foramen 3. long slender transverse processes 4. thick, square-shaped spinous processes which extends straight back 5. "grasping" articular facets face in sagittal place - allow flexion and extension
81
What are the movements of the spine?
flexion, extension, lateral flexion and rotation
82
Can flexion and extension occur in the thoracic region?
no. But can occur in the cervical and lumbar region
83
Can rotation occur in the thoracic region?
Yes, as well as the first 2 cervical vertebrae. It is restricted in the lumbar region.
84
What is the range of motion in the cervical spine?
1. flex/ext 2. rotation 3. lateral flexion * built for mobility
85
what is the range of motion in the thoracic spine?
1. rotation 2. lateral flexion 3. little flex/ext * built for stability
86
What is the range of motion in the lumbar spine?
1. some lateral flexion 2. little rotation 3. built for flex/ext
87
How many fused vertebrae compose the sacrum?
5
88
Where does the superior surface of the sacral vertebra articulate?
with the body of L5
89
sacral promontory
the projecting anterior margin of S1
90
What is the posterior surface of the sacrum rough?
for muscle and ligament attachement
91
What is the median crest in the sacrum analogous to?
the spinous processes
92
What are the lateral crests in the sacrum analogous to?
transverse processes
93
What are the sacral foramina analogous to ?
