Question
Answer
How many cervical vertebrae are there?   7 and C1 = Atlas and C2 = Axis  
🗑
How many Thoracic Vertebrae are there?   12 including T1 - T12, they are larger than the cervical vertebrae and articulate with the ribs  
🗑
How many Lumbar Vertebrae are there?   5 including L1 - L5, they are the largest bertebral bodies and support the weight of the upper body  
🗑
The Sacrum is composed of?   five fused bones  
🗑
Where is the Sacrum located?   On the posterior side of the pelvis  
🗑
The Coccyx is also known as the?   tailbone  
🗑
Where is the Sternum located?   anterior area of the chest where rib cage comes together with the collar bone  
🗑
The ribcage is the home of the?   diaphragm (that works with the intercostals to assist respiration) and lungs  
🗑
What sits on the ribcage?   Scapulae  
🗑
The Clavicle and Femur are part of what skeleton   Appendiclar  
🗑
Functions of the Clavicle (collar bone)   connects the scapula to the sternum and forms two joints - setrnoclavicular and acromioclavicular - helps to hold the shoulder in place during arm movement  
🗑
Definition of the Subscapular fossa   the anterior surface of the scapula  
🗑
Definition of the Spine (appendiclar skeleton)   the prominent edge of the posterior surface of the scapula  
🗑
Definition of the Acromion Process   joins with clavicle to form acromioclavicular joint  
🗑
Definition of the Coracoid Process   site of muscle attachment for shoulder joint  
🗑
Definition of Glenoid Cavity   oval hole on lateral scapula forming the glenohumeral joint  
🗑
The Femur is?   the longest/heaviest bone in the body.  
🗑
How does the Femur form the hip joint?   smooth rounded head articulates with acetabulum of the coxal bone  
🗑
The Greater Trochanter is the?   upper lateral process of the femur  
🗑
The Lesser Trochanter is the?   lower medial process of the femur. the distal end has medial and lateral condyles that articulate with lower leg.  
🗑
The Patella -   fits into a groove between the two condyles of the femur.  
🗑
The Patellofemoral joint is where -   the patella meets with the femur  
🗑
The Tibiofemoral joint is where -   the femur meets with the tibia  
🗑
Misalignment of the patellofemoral and the tibiofemoral joints can cause   chondromalacia or a soft/split on the posterior surface of the patella  
🗑
The Tibia is the   larger of two lower leg bones on the medial side - the proximal end articulates with the femur  
🗑
The fibula is the   thin, twisted bone on the lateral side, articulates with tibia but not femur and makes rounded bump of ankle  
🗑
