What are the functions of the skeleton?
Supports, structure, movement, protection, blood production
1 of 42
How many bones does an adult have?
206
2 of 42
Axial skeleton
Skull, spine, rib cage
3 of 42
Appendicular skeleton
Arms and legs
4 of 42
What are the 4 different types of bones with examples?
Long - Femur, Short - Carpals, Flat - Sternum, Irregular - Vertebrae
5 of 42
Articular Cartilage
On the end of all bones, aids movement, smooth
6 of 42
White Fibro Cartilage
Tough, between vertebrae
7 of 42
Yellow Elastic Cartilage
Soft, in ear lobes
8 of 42
Joints
Are links between bones and skeleton, their main functions are movement and stability
9 of 42
Ball and Socket
Allow movement in 3 dym, found in shoulder, cartilage around top to allow movement, greatest allow of movement
10 of 42
Hinge
Found in elbows and knees, movement in 1 plane, only bends and straightens
11 of 42
Pivot
Bone rotates at a joint, only rotation, found in neck
12 of 42
Gliding Joint
Spine and feet, limited movement, bones glide slowly across bones for movement
13 of 42
Condyloid
Movement in 2 planes, flexion and extention, adduction and abduction, found in wrist
14 of 42
Fiberous Joints
No movement, most stable, joints between the bones of the skull and fused bones of the sacrum and coccyx
15 of 42
Cartilaginous
Little movement, stable, joints between adjacent vertebrae in the cervical thoracic and part of the lumar spine
16 of 42
Synovial
Free movement, least stable, joints between the bones of the arms and legs, eg. pivot, hinge
17 of 42
Anotomical Position
Everything in your body facing forward including palms
18 of 42
Lateral Extension
Twisting of the spine from side to side
19 of 42
Circumduction
Makes a circular motion, only happens in the shoulder, rotation
20 of 42
Hyperextention
Extension of the spine from its natural position
21 of 42
Pronation
When the radio-ulna joint is rotated where your fingers are facing down
22 of 42
Supernation
When you twist your arm and make a 'soup bowl'
23 of 42
Dorsiflexion
Heels down, toes up
24 of 42
Planterflexion
Toes down, heels up
25 of 42
Tendon
Connects bones to muscles, must be strong and aid movement, can only pull one bone to another
26 of 42
Origin
Attachment doesn't usually move, closest to the head
27 of 42
Insertion
Attachment that moves, closest to feet
28 of 42
Antagonistic Muscle Action
Where two muscles work together to cause movement
29 of 42
Agonist
Muscle responsible for the movement
30 of 42
Antagonist
Muscle that works alongside the agonist, eg. biceps and triceps
31 of 42
Muscular Contractions
Tension in a muscle, classified in 2 ways, isotonic and isometric
32 of 42
Isotonic
Change in muscle length to cause movement
33 of 42
Isometric
Where there is no change in length = no movement
34 of 42
Concentric
Isotonic - Shortens, causes movement
35 of 42
Eccentric
Isotonic - Lengthens and controls movement
36 of 42
Isomentric
Isometric - Stops movement
37 of 42
Muscle Fibre
One cell muscle
38 of 42
Bundle
A group of muscle cells
39 of 42
Muscle
A group of bundles
40 of 42
Muscle Fibres
Two types: Type 1 - Slow twitch, aerobic, eg. marathon, Type 2 - Fast twitch, anaerobic
41 of 42
2a and 2b
2a = Fog - Fast, oxidatine, glycolytic. 2b = Fg - Fast, glycolytic. 2a lasts longer than 2b but 2b provides the most energy.
