Question
Answer
Abduction   Moving parts AWAY from the midline.  
🗑
Adduction   Moving a part TOWARD the midline.  
🗑
Circumduction   Moving a part in cone shape; distal end follows circular path.  
🗑
Dorsiflexion   Flexing foot upwards toward shin.  
🗑
Eversion   Turning foot so sole faces outward.  
🗑
Inversion   Turning foot so sole is facing inward.  
🗑
Plantar Flexion   Flexing foot toward sole; pointing toes.  
🗑
Pronation   Turning hand so palm is downward (posterior).  
🗑
Rotation   Moving part around a longitudinal axis; shaking head "no."  
🗑
Supination   Turning hand so that palm faces upward.  
🗑
Gliding   Flat bone surfaces move back and forth and side to side.  
🗑
What joints have little or no movement?   Cartilaginous and Fibrous.  
🗑
Ligament   Reinforces the fibrous capsule; help prevent dislocation of the joint.  
🗑
Hyaline Cartilage   The connective tissue that keeps bone ends from crushing when they are compressed.  
🗑
Synovial Fluid   The lubricant that minimizes friction and abrasion of joint surfaces.  
🗑
Diaphysis   Shaft/body of the bone.  
🗑
Endosteum   Lines medullary (marrow) cavity.  
🗑
Calcification   Calcium connects with collagen fibers to harden bone.  
🗑
Lamellae   Circular, ring-like matrix around a central canal. Concentric rings of calcified matrix.  
🗑
What type of cartilage is involved in ossification?   Hyaline  
🗑
Osteogenic Cells   Unspecialized stem cells; only cells that go under cell division.  
🗑
Osteoblasts   Bone-building cells. "Good cells." Lay down additional matrix and become osteocytes.  
🗑
Osteoclasts   Break down the matrix. Reabsorption.  
🗑
If body Ca is too low...   PTH is released and osteoclasts break down bone and release Ca into the blood.  
🗑
If body Ca is too high...   Ca is deposited into bone matrix as a salt after the bones become stronger and harder.  
🗑
What shape is a short bone?   Cubical  
🗑
Flat Bones   PROTECT organs. Skull, ribs, scapula, sternum.  
🗑
Where is red bone marrow found?   Skull, ribs, sternum, clavicle. Makes RBC, WBC, platelets.  
🗑
Foramen   Openings for blood vessels, ligaments, or nerves.  
🗑
What is different between an adult and a baby cranium?   The baby's is more larger and disproportional to the rest of the skull.  
🗑
What is the difference between Fibrous and Cartilaginous joints?   Fibrous are immovable. Cartilaginous is cartilage that connects bones.  
🗑
Tendon   Muscle to bone.  
🗑
Ligament--connects?   Bone to bone.  
🗑
Axial Skeleton   Bones that lie vertically.  
🗑
Appendicular Skeleton   Upper and lower limbs and girdles.  
🗑
Fontanels   The soft spots on a young child's skull. Allow growth for skull as they are flexible and reshape once stopped growing.  
🗑
Yellow Bone Marrow   Found in long bones, such as the arms and legs. Has fat (adipose) cells that are used in extreme hunger.  
🗑
