How many bones are in the human skeleton? 206
What are the functions of the skeletal system? protect & support body allow movement produce blood cells store calcium
Circulatory system functions: distribute oxygen & nutrients to cells transports cell waste & carbon dioxide from the cells transports water, electrolytes, hormones, and enzymes protects against diseases forms blood clots to prevent hemorrhaging helps regulate body temperature
Digestive system functions: chemical & mechanical absorption eliminates solid waste from body
Respiratory system functions: supplies oxygen to blood & cells eliminates carbon dioxide from blood helps regulate acid-base balance of blood
urinary system functions: regulates blood eliminates waste product regulates fluid/electrolyte balance & volume helps maintain acid-base balance of body
reproductive system function: reproduces organism
nervous system functions: coordinate voluntary & involuntary body activities transmit electrical impulses to body & brain
the muscular system includes all muscle tissues of the body and is subdivided into 3 types: skeletal, smooth, cardiac

smooth muscle tissue is under _____ control and found in the _____ of hollow organs involuntary, walls
cardiac muscle tissue is under _____ control and only found in the walls of the _____ involuntary, heart
muscular system functions: allows movement helps maintain posture helps produce heat
endocrine system function: regulates body via hormones
the integumentary system is the _____ system and constitutes about ____% of body mass in the average adult largest, 8%
integumentary system functions: regulate body temperature protects body against invasion eliminates waste through perspiration receive certain stimuli such as temperature, pressure, and pain synthesize certain vitamins & biochemicals
Skeletal system broken into 2 divisions: Axial & appendicular
Axial skeleton consists of how many bones? Contains Which part of body? 80 bones, trunk of body
Appendicular skeleton consists of how many bones? Contains which part of body? 126 bones, extremities
What are sesamoid bones? special type of small, oval-shaped bones embedded in certain tendons
where are sesamoid bones typically located? near joints
What are the only 2 sesamoid bones counted? patellae
4 classifications of bones: long, short, flat, irregular
long bones consist of? limbs, compact bone, spongy bone, periosteum
short bones consist of? carpals & tarsals
flat bones consist of? calvarium, sternum, ribs, scapulae
irregular bones consist of? vertebrae, facial bones, pelvic bones
Bone development is known as? ossification
what is the primary center of ossification? diaphysis (body)
what is the secondary center of ossification? epiphysis (ends of bones)
The function of joints is determined by? its classification
3 joint classifications: fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial
fibrous joints are held together by _____ tissue and are ______ (immoveable) fibrous, synarthrodial
cartilaginous joints are held together by ____ and are ____ (slightly moveable) cartilage, amphiarthrodial
synovial joints contain _____ _____ in the joint capsule and are _____ (fully moveable) synovial fluid, diarthrodial
what are the 3 types of fibrous joints? gomphosis, sutures, syndesmosis
gomphosis fibrous joints are located in the _____ of teeth and are ______ (slightly moveable) roots, amphiarthrodial
suture fibrous joints are found in the _____ and are _____ (immoveable) skull, synarthrodial
the only true syndesmosis fibrous joint is the ______ joint and they are _______ (slightly moveable) distal tibiofibular, amphiarthrodial
2 types of cartilaginous joints: symphyses synchondroses
symphyses cartilaginous joints are ______ joints located in the ______ _____ and _____ ______ and are ______ (slightly moveable) fibrocartilaginous, vertebral body, pubic symphysis, amphiarthrodial
synchondroses cartilaginous joints are found in epiphyses/cartilage (_____ ______) and are ______ (immoveable) epiphyseal plate, synarthrodial
Synovial joints are typically ______ (fully moveable) diarthrodial
lateral rotation means? rolling outwards
medial rotation means? rolling inwards
7 types of synovial joints: plane ginglymus trochoid ellipsoid sellar spheroidal bicondylar
plane (gliding) synovial joints are found where? intercarpals, carpometacarpals, intermetacarpals, and C1 up near skull
ginglymus (hinge) synovial joints are found where? elbow joint or interphalangeal joints
trochoid (pivot) synovial joints are found where? proximal & distal radioulnar joints, C1-2 joint
ellipsoid (condyloid) synovial joints are found where? What movements do they permit? metacarpophalangeal joint flexion, extension, abduction, adduction

radiography is the full study of patient ______ and the art of creating images for the means of _____ ______ positioning, diagnosing diseases
true or false: the radiograph is the actual image that is captured digitally true
X-ray film is what? a literal film you hang that captures the image
The central ray (CR) is what? where the centermost point of the x-ray beam is going in, where cross meets in middle of light field
radiographic procedures involve these 5 steps: positioning pt in alignment with IR & CR application of radiation protection selection of exposure factors patient instructions processing of image
body habitus is? build, physique, and general shape of the human body
4 categories of body habitus sthenic hyposthenic hypersthenic asthenic

When do you use the portrait (lengthwise) alignment of the IR? Why? hypo & asthenic patients lungs are typically longer
when do you use the landscape (crosswise) alignment of the IR? Why? hypersthenic or obese pts lungs are typically shorter but wider
What is the image receptor (IR)? device pt is touching, responds to ionizing radiation to create image after it exits the pt
