- protective -muscle attachments - source of red bone marrow

Question 26

function of short bones

Answer 26

- strength - limited movement

Question 27

functions of long bones

Answer 27

- strength - structure - stability

Question 28

What is the function of a sesamoid bone?

Answer 28

to protect tendons from compressive forces and reinforce them

Question 29

what are the three types of joint?

Answer 29

- fibrous - cartilaginous - synovial

Question 30

what is a fibrous joint?

Answer 30

where two bones are bound by dense fibrous tissues rich in collagen fibres forming a strong joint with NO MOVEMENT

Question 31

What is a primary cartilaginous joint?

Answer 31

(LIMITED MOVEMENT) Where two ends of bone are connected together by hyaline cartilage

Question 32

What is a secondary cartilaginous joint?

Answer 32

( LIMITED MOVEMENT) end of two bones still connected to hyaline cartilage, however the hyaline cartilage is separated by fibrocartilage.

Question 33

What is a synovial joint?

Answer 33

- ends of bones are covered with articular cartilage to prevent damage to the underlining bone. - synovial joint cavity contains synovial fluid which is secreted by the synovial membrane - enclosed in an elastic joint capsule - FREE MOVEMENT

Question 34

What is a bursa?

Answer 34

A synovial fluid filled sac, which acts as a cushion between skin/tendons and other joint structures such as bones, reducing friction.
