Anatomy Chapter 8
| term | definition |
|---|---|
| a major functional difference between the appendicular and axial divisions | the appendicular division makes you an active, mobile person |
| bones that make up the appendicular division of the skeleton | the pectoral and pelvic girdles, and the upper and lower limbs |
| pelvis | composite structure that includes portions of both the appendicular and axial skeleton |
| clavicle and scapula | PECTORAL girdle bones |
| acromion process | large posterior process on the scapula |
| ulna and radius | parallel bones that support the forearm |
| head | process of the humerus that articulates the scapula |
| ilium, pubis, ischium | PELVIC girdle bones |
| primary function of the PECTORAL girdle | position the shoulder joint and provide a base for arm movement |
| pubic symphysis | amphiarthrotic articulation which limits movements between the two pubic bones |
| tibia | large medial bone of the lower leg |
| linea aspera | prominent deviation that runs along the center of the posterior surface of the femur, which serves as an attachment site for muscles that abduct the femur |
| broad, light, smooth | general appearance of the female pelvis (as compared to the male) |
| oval to round | shape of the pelvic inlet in the female |
| development of various ridges and general bone mass | selections that would be used to estimate muscular development and body weight |
| skull and pelvis | two specific areas of the skeleton that are used to identify significant differences between a male and female |
| bone weight and bone markings | skeletal elements generally used to determine sex and age |
| the size and roughness of bone markings | selections used to determine the age of a skeleton |
| UPPER and LOWER EXTREMITIES | The appendicular skeleton includes the bones of the PECTORAL and PELVIC and the __________ and ________ ________ |
| clavicle | the only direct connection between the pectoral girdle and the axial skeleton |
| PECTORAL girdle | the shoulder area and its component bones |
| glenoid fossa | where the scapula articulates witht he proxima end of the humerous |
| styloid processes | long shaft processes of the ulna and the radius |
| radiocarpal articulations and intercarpal articulations | are responsible for the movements of hte wrist |
| coxae | the six bones of the pelvic girdle |
| ventrally | how the coxae are connected by a pad of fibrocartilage at the pubic symphasis |
| malle olus | process that the tibia and fibula have in common that acts as a shield for the ankle |
| acetabulom | articulates with the head of the femur at hip joint to either side |
| popliteal ligaments | are responsible for reiforcing the back of the knee |
| enlarged pelvic outlet | in the female, an adaptation for child-bearing |
| examine the condition of an individual's teeth | a major means of determining the medical history of a person |
| axially on the skull and appendicular aspects of the pelvis | the skeletal differences between males and females |
| a skeletal change related to age | reduction in mineral content of the bony matrix |
| carpals, tarsals | wrist and ankle bones |
| ball and socket | shoulder joint |
| patella | kneecap |
