Question
Answer
What is the function of the bones   support,protection, movment, storage, and making blood cells frmation  
🗑
what is the four bones according to shap and give an example of each   compact bone- dense and look smoth and homogeneous. spongy bone- composed of small needlike pieces of bones and lots of openspace long bone- typocally longer than they are wid. short bones-generally cubes,haped and contain mostly spongy bone ex,patel  
🗑
What is the purpose of sunuses   lighten the skull and gives a amplitlation to the voice.  
🗑
bones of the shoulder girdle   clavicle and the scapula  
🗑
how do bones repare them self?   1.hematoma 2.Fibrocartilage 3. bone callus fromation 4, Bone remodeling  
🗑
common types of fractures   comminuted, compression, depressed, impacted, spiral, and greenstick  
🗑
comminuted   bone bracks in to many fragments  
🗑
compression   bones is crushed  
🗑
depressed   broken bone is pressed inward  
🗑
impacted   broken bone ends are forced into each other  
🗑
spiral   ragged brack occure when axcessive twisting forces are applied to the bone  
🗑
greenstick   bone bracks incompletely much in the way a green twig breaks  
🗑
Azial skeleton   incluades the following bones skull, ribe cage, vertebal colum  
🗑
Appendicular skeleton   shoulder goird, arems, lages and hands  
🗑
What are sinuses?   mucosa-lined air- filled cavites in the bone.  
🗑
What purpose do they serve in the skull?   They lighten the skull serve as resonace chambers for speech  
🗑
Why are they so susceptible to infection?   their mucosa is continous with that of nasal passage into which they drain.  
🗑
the structure that encloses the nerve cord?   Vertebral arch  
🗑
weight-bearing part of the vertebra?   body  
🗑
provid(s) levers for the muscles to pull against?   spinous process  
🗑
provid(s) an articlation point for the ribs?   Transverse process  
🗑
opening allowing spinal nerves to pass?   body/ transverse process  
🗑
The type of vertebra(e) containg foramina in the transvers process, through which the vertebral arteries ascend to reach the brain.   Atlas or axis  
🗑
its dens provides a pivot for rotation of the frist cervical vertebra   Axis  
🗑
transverse process have facets for articulation with ribs; spinous process point sharply downwards   Thoracic vertebra  
🗑
composite bone; articulates with the hip bone laterally   sacrum  
🗑
massive vertebrea; weight-sustaining   lumbar vertebra  
🗑
tailbone; vestiga; fused vertebrae   coccyx  
🗑
supports the head; allows the rocking motion of the occipital condyles   atlas  
🗑
seven components; unfused   atlas,axis or cervical vrtebra  
🗑
twelve compoents; unfused   throracic vertebra  
🗑
Bone is brocken cleanly; the ends do not penetrate the skin   simple fracture  
🗑
nonsurgical realignment of broken bone ends and splinting of bone   closed reduction  
🗑
a brack common in children; bone splinters, but brack is incomplete   greenstick fracture  
🗑
A fracture in which the bone is crushed; common in the vertbral column   compression fracture  
🗑
a fracture in which the bone ends penetrate through the skin surface   compound fracture  
🗑
surgical realignment of brocken bone ends   open reduction  
🗑
a resilt of twisting forces   spiral fracture  
🗑
