TermDefinition
how many bones does an adult person have 206
bones make up how many % of our weight 14%
made of protein, collagen, and minerals, especially calcium Bones
area where two or more bones join together Joints
cushion for joints and bones Cartilage
everyday movement of the body Skeletal Muscles
connect muscles to bones Tendons
connect bones to bones Ligaments
bone-forming cell Osteoblasts
resorb or break down bone Osteoclasts
mature bone cell Osteocytes
cells that form new bones and grow and heal existing bones. They release bone matrix that turns proteins into new tissue Osteoblasts
cells that degrade bone to initiate normal bone remodeling Osteoclasts
responsible for bone maintenance Osteocytes
What nutrients are bones made up of? nutrients, such as calcium, protein, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin D, potassium, and fluoride
produces new blood cells Bone Marrow
type of bones that are longer than they are wide, supports the weight of the body and facilitates movement. Long
type of bones that are about as long as they are wide, provides stability and some movement. Short
type of bones that are somewhat flattened, and can provide protection, like a shield; flat bones can also provide large areas of attachment for muscles. Flat
type of bones that are small and round bones that grow with tendons. Sesamoid
type of bones that are have a fairly complex shape helps protect internal organs Irregular
muscle responsible for heat; pumps blood to the heart Cardiac Muscle
Average heart beat per minute 62/100
Average heart beat per day 100,000
muscle present throughout the body (stomach, intestine, etc.). Responsible for body movement like walking or running Smooth Muscle
muscle attached to the bones and can be found in internal organs Skeletal Muscle
imaginary line passing through the center of a body Axial
The axial skeleton consists of ... skull, auditory ossicles, hyoid bone, vertebral column, and thoracic cage
how many bones make up the skull 22
largest bone in human skull Mandible
bones in the skull Frontal Bone, Parietal Bone Occipital Bone, Temporal Bone Sphenoid Bone, Ethmoid Bone Maxillae , Zygomatic Bone Mandible
U-shaped bone in the neck which supports the tongue Hyoid Bone
Vertebral formula 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 1 sacral, and 1 coccyx bone
True Vertebrae cervical thoracic, lumbar
topmost vertebra Atlas
second cervical vertebra Axis
shield-shaped bony structure that is located at the base of the lumbar vertebrae and that is connected to the pelvi Sacrum
small triangle-shaped tailbone Coccyx
the thoracic cage is composed of -- thoracic vertebrae, ribs and sternum
how many ribs are there? true? false? Ribs - 12 pairs, 24 total - 7 true ribs (directly connected to the sternum) - 5 false ribs (2 false ribs are called floating ribs)
the sternum is composed of -- Manubrium Body Xiphoid process
the most superior portion of the sternum Manubrium
attachment point for organs and large muscles that make the floor of the diaphragm Xiphoid process
how many bones support the appendages 126
PECTORAL GIRDLE Scapulae (shoulder blade) Clavicles (collar bones)
UPPER LIMB Humerus - arm Ulna and Radius - forearm Carpal Bones - wrist Metacarpal Bones and Phalanges - hand
PELVIC GIRDLE Hip bones - ilium, ischium, pubis
LOWER LIMB Femur - thigh Patella - kneecap Tibia (smaller) and fibula (big) - leg Tarsal bones - ankle Metatarsal bones and phalanges - foot
All muscle tissues have 4 characteristics in common excitability. contractility. extensibility, elasticity
– voluntary muscle of vertebrates – striated and anchored by tendons to bone – affects skeletal movement such as locomotion Skeletal muscle
– striped appearance of certain muscle types – myofibrils are aligned to produce constant directional tension Striated
– muscle movement not under conscious control – e.g. the beating of the heart Involuntary muscle
– Involuntary muscle found within the intestines, throat, uterus, and blood vessel walls Smooth muscle
– striated and involuntary muscle of the vertebrate heart Cardiac muscle
covers the digestive system Mesentery
covers the thoracic cavity, heart and lungs; needed to avoid attachment of organs Peritoneum
slow food propagation that occurs in the large and small intestine Segmentation Movement
occurs in the esophagus; faster Peristaltic Movement
oral cavity, first part of the digestive tract mouth
Responsible for chewing (mastication) mouth
enzyme present in saliva; protein that helps the body break down carbohydrates Amylase
chewed food mixed with saliva, swallowed food Bolus
upper jaw of the skull; involved in the formation of the orbit, nose and palate, holds the upper teeth and plays an important role for mastication Maxilla
throat; responsible for motility and swallowing Pharynx
permits the passage of swallowed solids and liquids into the esophagus Pharynx
elastic cartilage that protects the larynx from foods Epiglottis
secretes saliva to moisten the mouth and throat Uvula
muscular tube that connects the pharynx to the stomach Esophagus
contracts as it moves food into the stomach Esophagus
valve that normally keeps food and stomach acid in the stomach and prevents the stomach's contents from regurgitating back into the esophagus Gastroesophageal sphincter
digests food; produces enzymes (substances that create chemical reactions) and acids (digestive juices) Stomach
partially digested food and digestive secretions; food mixed with gastric juice Chyme
folds in the stomach that allows it to expand Rugae
first part of the stomach, which is connected to the esophagus Cardia
stores gas from digestion; holds food when the stomach is full Fundus
prevents intestinal contents from reentering the stomach Pylosis
closes at the end of the stomach Pyloric sphincter
inner surface of the intestinal wall; functions for secretion, excretion, and absorption simple columnar epithelium
produced by cells known as enterocytes that line the intestinal walls and form the brush border (carbohydrate digestion) brush border enzyme
hormone that triggers motility of stomach gastrin
hormone that will signal the stomach to stop the secretion of gastrin enterogastrone
releases enterogastrone Duodenum
absorption of protein/mineral Jejunum and Ileum
responsible for processing indigestible food material (chyme) after most nutrients are absorbed in the small intestine Large Intestine
Absorbs water and salts Absorbs vitamins produced by abdominal bacteria Compact and eliminate feces Large Intestine
first part of the large intestine; absorbs the water and electrolytes Ascending colon
runs across the abdomen; absorbs water & salts Transverse colon
primarily stores stool that will eventually empty into the rectum Descending colon
runs the length of the large intestine taenia coli
