the skeletal system is composed of how many bones which forms the framework of the human body
|
206
|
|
the adult human skeleton is divided into the _______ skeleton and the ______ skeleton
|
axial and appendicular
|
|
all the bones that lie on or near the central axis of the body
|
axial (80 bones)
|
|
name some axial bones
|
skull, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum
|
|
all the bones of the upper and lower limbs (extremities), shoulder and pelvic girdle (126 bones)
|
appendicular
|
|
name some appendicular bones
|
radius, ulna, clavicle femur, tib-fib,
|
|
what do long bones consist of
|
a body, and two ends or extremities
|
|
the hard or dense bone tissue is known as
|
compact bone or cortex (meaning external layer)
|
|
thick layer of compact bone found at the end, helps resist stress of the weight placed on them
|
body or shaft
|
|
inside the shell of compact bone especially at the end of each long bone
|
spongy or cancellous bone
|
|
the hallow portion of long bone is called
|
medullary cavity
|
|
meaning glassy or clear
|
hyaline
|
|
covers bone except at articulating surfaces, essential for bone growth, repair, and nutrition
|
periosteum
|
|
blood vessel that passes into the bone from the periosteum
|
nutrient artery
|
|
roughly cuboidal and are found only in the wrist or ankles, the 8 carpal bone of the wrist and 8 tarsal bones of the ankle
|
short bones
|
|
consist of two plates of compact bone with cancellous bone and marrow between examples skull cap sternum ribs scapulea
|
flat bones
|
|
bones that have peculiar shape examples vertebrae facial bones bones of the base of the cranium bones of the pelvis
|
irregular bones
|
|
process by which bones form within the body
|
ossification
|
|
occurs rapidly and take place in bones that are needed for protection such as sutures of the flat bone of the skull cap
|
intramembranous ossification
|
|
much slower than intramembranous ossification occurs on most parts of skeleton like the long bones
|
endochondral ossification
|
|
first center of ossification occurs in the midbody area
|
primary center
|
|
the primary center of ossified growing bones, becomes the body in fully developed bones this bone growth is called
|
diaphysis
|
|
appears near the ends of the limbs of long bones
|
secondary centers
|
|
each secondary center of ossification is called an
|
epiphysis
|
|
found between the metaphysis and each epiphysis until skeletal growth is complete
|
epiphyseal plates
|
|
wider portion of long bone adjacent to the epiphyseal plate also where bone growth in length occurs
|
metaphysis
|
|
immovable joint
|
synarthrosis
|
|
joint with limited movement
|
amphiarthrosis
|
|
freely movable joint
|
diarthrosis
|
|
plane joint
|
gliding (sliding or glinding motion) ex. joints in hand and wrist,
|
|
ginglymus joint
|
hinge (permit flexion and extension)
|
|
trochoid joint
|
pivot (rotational movement around single axis)
|
|
ellipsoid joint
|
condylar (primarily four directional movements, flexion and extension and abduction and addiction)
|
|
sellar joint
|
saddle (end of the bones are shaped concave-convex and are positioned opposite each other
|
|
spheroidal joint
|
ball and socket (allows greatest freedom of motion)
|
|
bicondylar joints
|
movement in single direction
|
|
displacement from joint
|
dislocation
|
|
partial dislocation
|
subluxation
|
|
rupture or testing of connective tissue
|
sprain
|
|
a broken bone
|
fracture
|
|
break that does not produce an open wound in the skin
|
simple or closed fx
|
|
bone is broken, external wound leafs down to site of fracture, fragments of bone protrude out of skin
|
compound or open
|
|
bone is broken or splintered into pieces
|
comminuted
|
|
bone is broken and one edge is wedged into the interior of another
|
impacted
|
|
line of fracture does not include whole bone
|
incomplete
|
|
bone is partially bent and partially broken, occurs in children especially those work rickets
|
green stick fracture
|
|
fracture of lower end of the radius in which the lower fragment is displaced posteriorly
|
Collie's
|
|
fracture of the distal end of 5th metacarpal
|
boxer's fracture
|
|
separation of epiphysis from bones
|
epiphyseal
|
|
partial dislocation of the radial head of a child
|
nursemaid (jerked elbow)
|
|
fracture of the distal phalanx is caused by a ball stricking the end of a finger
|
baseball fracture
