Axial Skeleton
Skull, ribs, sternum, Cervical V 7, Thoracic V 12, Lumbar V 5, Sacral 5 (fused), Coccyx 4 (fused)
What the rest of the body is attached to
Function of axial skeleton
Protect bones, Store minerals, Attatchment, support and movement
Inferior
Away from the head
Superior
Towards the head
Proximal
(Reffers only to limbs) Closer to the attatchment of limbs
Distal
Further away from the attatchment of limbs
Posterior
Back of the body
Medial
Towards the midline of the body
Lateral
Away from the midline of the body
Anterior
Front of the body
Types of bones
Long (Femur Humerous, metacarpals and phalanges), flat (ribs and cranium), irregular ( vertebrae), short (carpals, tarsals)
Joint
Where two or more bones articulate
Gliding Joing
Carpals and tarsals Wrists, ankle: up, down, left, right, diagonal
Ball and socket
shoulder, hip: Medial and lateral rotation
Pivot joint
Wrists, radioulnar joint, ankle: rotation of a bone around another
Hinge joint
elbow, knee: one axis, extension and flexion (no rotation)
Condyloid joint
Wrists, elbows: flexion, extension
Saddle joint
Thumb, Thorax, heel, ear: flexion, extension, abduction, adduction
Synovial joints
Lots of movement
Fibrons
No movement (cranium, coccyx
Cartilagenons joints
little movement (between lumbar V
Connective tissue (cartilage)
Buffer and absorb shock
Connective tissue (Ligaments)
Connect bones to bones
Connective tissue (Tendons)
Connect muscles with bones
