- provides flexibility, - provides rigidity (in a bone)
collagen, calcium salts
Bone features for muscle attachment
Protuberance, tuberosity, process, trochanter
Motion that increases joint angle between two bones
Extension
Motion that increases a joints angle away from midline of body
Abduction
Primarily made of cartilage
Lateral meniscus
Parietal bones are example of
Flat bone
Cells that eventually turn into osteocytes
Osteoblasts
Which two ligaments CROSS each other within the joint
ACL/PCL (CRUCIATE)
Chambers containing osteocytes
Lacunae
Responsible for MAINTAINING adult bone density
Osteocytes
Shake your head yes, skull is
Flexing forward on atlas
Structures part of ethmoid bone
Cribriform plate, perpendicular plate, nasal conchae, pterygoid plates/processes
Explain why female pelvis is wider than male pelvis
Wider female pelvis provides larger passage for child birth, narrower male pelvis acts like suspension bridge to support greater male weight
Purpose of ischiofemoral ligament
Helps stabilize coxal joint
What bone is external acoustic meatus found in
Temporal
Gene critical for sex determination (production of androgens)
Sry gene
Condition where a person with XY sex chromosomes fails to develop normal secondary sexual characteristics seen in males
Androgen insensitivity
Allows sensory nerves to exit bone, feeling in skin on forehead
Supraobital foramen
Femur is constructed to withstand high levels of
Compression, tension, bending
Functional unit of compact bone, made up of concentric rings of compact bone (surround central canal)
Osteon
What type of joint is the knee
Monoaxial
Knee ligament LEAST likely to be torn in non contact sports injury
LCL
Transfers weight from tibia onto foot
Talus
Process of tibia providing support for ankle
Medial malleolus
