All bones are covered by
periosteum
movement that reduces angle, usually toward body
flexion
movement that increases angle, usually away from body
extension
end of a bone; shaft of a bone
epiphysis; diaphysis
basic structural unit of bone
osteon
most abundant cartilage, covers ends of long bones, firm but springy
hyaline cartilage
strong stretchable cartilage found on external ear and epiglottis
elastic cartilage
strong cartilaginous cartilage that makes up discs in joints
fibrocartilage
4 paired arteries that go from aorta to head
common carotids, vertebral, thyrocervical, costocervical
3 branches of aortic arch
brachiocephalic (right), left common carotid, left subclavian
supply blood to heart muscle
coronary arteries
lymph from lower body drains in this “pool” before ascending to the venous angle
cisterna chyli
blockage of lymph flow resulting in swelling due to trapped fluid
lymphedema
procedure that limits surgery and number of lymph nodes removed in breast cancers
sentinel node breast therapy
wrist flexors and extensors work together to stabilize the wrist during finger movements…this is an example of
synergists
excess muscle tone
hypertonic
loss of muscle tone
flaccid
components of a synovial joint
articular cartilage, capsule, joint cavity, synovial membrane, fluid
skull sutures are this type of joint
fibrous joint
type of joint found in pubic symphysis, between lumbar vertebrae
cartilagenous joint
the hip is this type of joint
synovial joint
axis and atlas “yes and no” motions are this type of joint
pivot
lateral movement of the fingers would be this type of joint
condyloid
small bones in the wrist are this type of joint
ellipsoid
