hyoid bone a single U shaped bone found in neck between mandible and larynx
what does the hyoid bone provide a point of attachment for swallowing and speech muscles
the trunk is inferior to the hyoid and consists of what vertebral column, sternum, and rib cage
the vertebral column is divided into what 5 sections cervical vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, sacrum, coccyx
cervical vertebrae in neck region, numbered C1-C7
thoracic vertebrae in chest region, numbered T1-T12
lumbar vertebrae in the small of the back, numbered L1-L5
sacrum at base of vertebral column
coccyx three-five vertebrae attached to the sacrum
ribs 12 pair that attach to the vertebral column in the back
where do the first 10 pairs of ribs attach to the sternum in the front and are known as the true ribs
the interior 2 pairs of ribs don't attach to the sternum and are called floating ribs
where does the pectoral girdle attach to the upper extremities to the axial skeleton
what does the pectoral girdle articulate with the sternum and the vertebral column
what does the pectoral girdle consist of the clavicle and the scapula
the upper extremity of the appendicular skeleton is the arm, which consists of the humerus, ulna, radius, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges
other names for the pelvic girdle os coxae, the innominate bone or the hipbone
the pelvic girdle attaches the lower extremity to what the axial skeleton
what does the pelvic girdle articulate with the sacrum posteriorly
what does the pelvic girdle consist of ilium, ischium, and pubix
what bones does the leg consist of femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges
femur thigh bone
patella knee cap
tibia shin bone
fibula lower leg bone
tarsals ankle bones
metatarsals foot bone
phalanges toe bones
how are joints formed its where two bones meet, also called an articulation
3 types of joints are based on the movement allowed synovial joints, cartilaginous joints, fibrous joints
synovial joints freely moving joints. most common. examples are ball and socket. contain a capsule lined with lubricant secreting synovial membrane. some synovial joints contain a bursa (sac like structure)
cartilaginous joints allow for slight movement, hold bones firmly in place with solid piece of cartilage
fibrous joints allow almost no movement, joined by thick fibrous tissue that can fuse into bone
arthr/o joint
chondr/o cartilage
kyph/o humps
lord/o bent backward
oste/o bone
scoli/o crooked
synov/o synovial membrane
algia pain

tome instrument used to cut
A without
inter between
intra within
cranial pertaining to the skull
mandibular pertaining to the mandible (lower jaw)
metacarpal pertaining to the metacarpus
phalangeal pertaining to the phalanges (fingers/toes)
scapular pertaining to the scapula (shoulder blade)
vertebral pertaining to a vertebra
orthotics profession specializing in making orthopedics like braces/splints
arthralgia joint pain
chondromalacia softening of the cartilage
crepitation noise produces by bones/cartilage rubbing together
closed fracture fracture with no open skin wound/simple fracture
