anatomy and function
-flattened. fibrous sacs lined with synovial membranes and contain synovial fluid ex:bursa sac in the patella
MANDIBLE
jaw bone
-ramus: side that meets with maxilla

articulation where parietal and frontal bone meet
SAGITTAL SUTURE
articulation where right and left parietal bones meet superiorly
AXIAL SKELETON
skull, vertebral column, and rib cage
APPENDICULAR SKELETON
limbs, shoulder, and hips
LAMBROID SUTURE
articulation where parietal bones and occipital bone meet posteriorly
SQUAMOUS SUTURE
articulation where parietal and temporal bone meet
KYPHOSIS
hunchback
SCOLIOSIS

PROTRACTION
pointing chin out
RETRACTION
chin pulled in
DEPRESSION
chin pointed down, towards chest
ELEVATION
chin up
ROTATION
turning around its own axis
ex: hip and shoulder joints
-lateral:away from midline
-medial: towards midline
GLIDING
wrist and ankle movements
HYPEREXTENDED
leaning backwards
PRONATION
"ppro" basketball player

radius rotates over ulna
SUPINATION
can hold a bowl of soup

radius and ulna parallel
INVERSION AND EVERSION
inversion - angle foot in

eversion - angle foot out
FUNCTIONS OF THE SKELETAL SYSTEM
-internal support
-framework for movement
-blood skell production
-organ protection
-mineral storage
SPHENOID BONE
bone behind eye and runs between left and right temporal bones
LACRIMAL BONES
meets maxilla inside orbital cavity (eye gunk)
ETHMOID BONE
between sphenoid bone and and lacrimal bone
MASTOID PROCESS
bottom, pointy part of temporal bone
STYLOID PROCESS
pointy spike off temporal bone attached to external accoustic meatus
Muscle Contraction:
Step 1
In rest, Actin and Myosin are not joined
Muscle Contraction:
Step 2
A nerve impulse stimulates the motor unit to release acetylcholine
Muscle Contraction:
Step 3
Acetylcholine causes the release of Calcium
Muscle Contraction:
Step 4
Calcium unlocks the tropomyosin block between Actin and Myosin
Muscle Contraction:
Step 5
Myosin binds to Actin receptor sites to form cross bridge
Muscle Contraction:
Step 6
ADP and P (phosphate) are released from Myosin, power stroke slides Actin and Myosin over each other
Muscle Contraction:
Step 7
ATP binds to Myosin, releasing Actin
Muscle Contraction:
Step 8
ATP breaks down to ADP+P, Myosin head recocks and moves down Actin filament
Skeletal Muscle
layers of dense connective tissue, called fascia, soround and seperate each muscle
Epimysium
whole muscle
Perimysium
fascicles (bundles of muscle cells)
Endomysium
covering over individual mm fibers/muscle cells
condyle
-rounded articular projection

-help form joints
tuberosity
-large rounded projection
-may be roughened
-site for muscle and ligament attachment
fossa
-shallow basin like depression
-often serving as an articular surface
-allows blood vessels and nerves to pass through
epicondyle
-raised area on or above condyle
-site for muscle and ligament attachment
foramen
-round or oval opening through bone
-allows blood vessels and nerves through
fissure
-narrow, slit like opening
-allows blood vessels and nerves to pass through
tubercle
-small rounded projection or process
-site for muslce and ligament attachment
meatus
-canal like passageway
-blood vessels and nerve pass through
process
-any bony prominence
-site for muscle and ligament attachment
long bone
humerus
short bones
tarsals and carpals
flat bones
sternum and most skull bones
irregular bones
vertebrae
wormian or sutural bones
tiny, irregular shaped bones found in sutures
sesamoid bones
hort irregular bone embedded in tendon

ex: patella
osteon
-tree trunk looking in bones
-sorround the Haversian or central canal
-consists of interconnecting canals (canaliculi) to supply nutrients to bone
