Southeastern Institute A&P 5. Skeletal System

        Help!  

Question
Answer
Skeletal System Physiology   Supports systems through framework. Protects organs. Movement through leverage. Hemopoiesis. Stores fat for later use. Stores minerals for later use  
🗑
Long   Bones that are longer than wide  
🗑
Short   Bones that are usually small and cuboidal  
🗑
Flat   Bones that have a broad flat surface  
🗑
Irregular   Bones that fall into a catch all category for bone shapes that don’t fit in another category  
🗑
Sesamoid   Bones that are embedded in tendons  
🗑
Diaphysis   Shaft of a long bone  
🗑
Medullary Cavity   Center of diaphysis  
🗑
Haversian Canals   Longitudinal pathway through bone  
🗑
Volkman’s Canals   Horizontal pathway through bone  
🗑
Periosteum   Sheath that surround the diaphysis  
🗑
Interosseous Ligament   Membrane found between specific bones (i.e. ulna & radius or tibia & fibula)  
🗑
Epiphyses   Ends of a long bone  
🗑
Epiphyseal Plate   Growth plate between the epiphyses & diaphysis  
🗑
Epiphyseal Line   Replaces the epiphyseal plate when bone growth is complete  
🗑
Articular Cartilage   Hyaline cartilage at the ends of long bones that create a buffer between the bones  
🗑
Osteoblasts   Bone forming cells  
🗑
Osteoclasts   Cells that break down bone  
🗑
Osteocyte   Mature osteoblast  
🗑
Spongy Bone   Lattice-like network in the center of a long bone which is filled with red and yellow marrow  
🗑
Compact Bone   Outer portion of bone that is dense for strength  
🗑
Ossification   Bone development  
🗑
Exercise   Stresses the skeletal system. Moves blood calcium into bones. Osteoblasts are stimulated. Makes stronger bones  
🗑
Osteoclasts break down the minerals   And move the minerals into the blood  
🗑
Osteoblasts replace bone lost   Due to metabolism  
🗑
Aging   Decrease of hormone levels slow down the rate at which osteoblasts rebuild bone. Can result in loss of bone mass.  
🗑
Axial Skeleton   Skull, vertebrae, sternum & ribs  
🗑
Appendicular Skeleton   Extremities and how they attach to the axial skeleton  
🗑
Synarthoses   Joints with little to no movement and found in skull sutures & tooth joints  
🗑
Amphiarthroses   Slightly moveable joints and found in pubic symphysis & intervertebral joints  
🗑
Diarthroses   Freely moving joints  
🗑
Bursae   Collapsed sac-like structures that provide additional synovial fluid to protect muscle tendons  
🗑
Flexion   Decrease of an angle of a joint  
🗑
Extension   Straighten or increase the angle of a joint  
🗑
Abduction   Movement away from median plane  
🗑
Adduction   Movement towards median plane  
🗑
Supination   Lateral (outward) rotation of forearm  
🗑
Pronation   Medial ( inward) rotation of forearm  
🗑
Plantar Flexion   Movement of the ankle making the toes point down  
🗑
Dorsiflexion   Movement of the ankle making the toes point toward the shin  
🗑
Inversion   Medial edge of foot is elevated so that the soles of the feet face each other  
🗑
Eversion   Lateral edge of foot is elevated so that the soles of the feet are turned away from each other  
🗑
Circumduction   Distal end moves in a circle while the proximal end stays relatively fixed  
🗑
Rotation   Bone moves around its own central axis  
🗑
Elevation   Raising or lifting a body part  
🗑
Depression   Lowering or dropping a body part  
🗑
Protraction   Movement forward or anteriorly  
🗑
Retraction   Movement backward or posteriorly  
🗑
Pelvic Tilt   Anterior or posterior tilting of the entire pelvis  
🗑
Pelvic Rotation   One side of pelvis is further forward than the other  
🗑
Hinge   Limited to flexion and extension  
🗑
Pivot & Screw   Limited to rotation  
🗑
Saddle Joint   Carpometacarpal of the thumb for its varied movements  
🗑
Ellipsoidal Joint   Flexion, extension, adduction, abduction  
🗑
Ball & Socket Joint   Permit all movements  
🗑
Gliding   All movements but are limited to gliding  
🗑
