42 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
  • 3rd side (hint)

Include the:

• Carpus (wrist)


• metacarpus (Palm)


• digits (fingers) composed of phalanges

Carpus consists of:

8 carpal bones attached by ligaments

Metacarpus:

- consists of 5 long bones, numbered 1-5 (lateral to medial)

Each metacarpal

• proximal base


• shaft


• distal

Digits (phalanges)

- 5 digits (fingers), numbered 1 to 5 (lateral to medial)

-14 phalanges:

• each fingers has 3 phalanges: proximal, middle, and distal


• exception: the thumb (polled), which has 2 phalanges

Cranial Bones

• cranial bones


• two 2 parietal bones


• two 2 temporal bones


• one 1 of each: frontal, occipital, sphenoid, and ethmoid bone

Associated sutures:

- coronal: b/t parietal / frontal bones


- sagittal: b/t the two parietal bones


- lambdoid: b/t - occipital / parietal bones


- squamous: b/t - temporal/ parietal bones



B/t = between

Cranium and cranial bone

Cranium:


• encases the brain


• divided into a:


Vault aka calvaria (skull cap) - top of the skull


Base - the floor of the skull

When the calvaria is removed

And the brain lifted out of the skull, the cranial base is exposed

Cranial base has 3 aspects:

Anterior: contains the frontal bone


Middle: part of temporal bone sphenoid bones


Posterior: occipital bone

Frontal bone

• unpaired


• forms the:


- anterior part of the cranium


- forehead


- roofs of the orbits


- most of the anterior cranial fossa


- coronal suture (articulates w/the 2 parietal bones)

Occipital Bone

• unpaired


• major landmarks:


- foramen magnum


- occipital condyles


- external occipital protuberance (inion)


- superior nuchal line


- inferior nuchal line

Facial bones

• unpaired:


- mandible


- vomer


• paired


- maxilla


- zygomatic


- nasal


- lacrimal


- palatine


- inferior nasal conchae

Facial Bones

Facial bones form:


• the framework for the face


• cavities for organs of taste, sight, and smell


• openings for air and food


• an anchor for the teeth


• attachments for muscles

Mandible

• unpaired


• "lower jaw bone"


• largest & strongest facial bone


• composed of a body, which forms the chin, & two rami (branches)

Major landmarks

• mandibular angle


• mandibular notch


• mandibular condyle (condylar process)


• coronoid process

Vomer

Located within nasal cavity and form the part of nasal septum

• located within the nasal cavity and forms part of the nasal septum

Maxillary bones

• paired


• form the upper jaw


• all facial bones articulate w/ the maxillae, except for the mandible

• Major landmark

• palatine processes


• frontal processes


• maxillary sinuses


• zygomatic process


• infraorbital foramen

Zygomatic bones

•form the prominence of the cheeks (a.k.a cheekbones)

Nasal bones

• form the bridge of the nose and attach to the nasal cartilage.

Lacrimal bones

• contribute to the medial walls of the orbits.

Palatine bones

• form the posterior portion of the hard palate.

Inferior nasal concha

• thin, curved bones in the nasal cavity


• part of lateral walls of the cavity

Hyoid bone

• located in the anterior neck (inferior to the mandible)


• shaped like a horn (overall)

Hyoid bone 5 sub-components

5 sub-component:


- 1 body


- 1 pair of lesser horns


- 1 pair of greater horns


• does not articulate directly with any other bone


• attach by ligaments to the styloid processes of the temporal bones

Suture Joints

- structure: edges of bones overlap/interlock & are connected by short CT fibers


- movement: synarthroses (immovable)


- found only b/w bones of the skull

Classification of joints

• STRUCTURAL classification based on type of tissue that holds joint together:



- fibrous


- cartilaginous


- synovial

Functional classification

Based on amount of movement possible at a joint:


- synarthroses


- amphiarathroses


- diarthroses

6 types of synovial joints

• glinding joint


• condyloid joint


• saddle joint


• hinge joint


• ball and socket joint


• pivot joint

Axial Skeleton

Consists of:



• skull (cranial bones and facial bones)


• hyoid bone


• auditory ossicles


• vertebral column (spine/backbone)


• sternum bone


• ribs

Appendicular skeleton

Consists of:



• shoulder girdles (shoulder blade/scapulae, clavicle/ collar bone)


• upper limb (arms, wrists and hands)


• pelvic (hip) girdle, hip bone/ Coxal bone called ilium, ischium and pubis


• lower limb - legs, ankles and feet

Longest and strongest bone in the body

Femur

Diarthroses joints

Freely movable. All diarthroses joints are synovial joint. Eg. Elbows, hips, knees, shoulders

Movement of spine

- C/S: flexion/extension, rotation and lateral flexion (occur to some degree together)


- T/S: some rotation, limited flexion/extension and lateral flexion


- L/S: flexion/extension, limited lateral flexion and rotation

Ribs ( Typical vs. Atypical ribs)

• 12 pairs of ribs -> attach posteriorly to thoracic vertebrae



Typical vs. Atypical ribs



- ribs are 3-10 are typical


• shape: flat & bow


• composed of a head, neck, shaft & tubercle


• articulate w/cartilage -> allows for flexibility


- ribs 1-2, 11-12 are atypical in size & shape

Ribs (True vs False ribs)

True vs False ribs



- ribs 1-7 are true ribs


• attach directly to sternum via costal cartilage


- ribs 8-12 are false ribs


• do not attach directly to sternum



Floating ribs


• ribs 11-12 are also floating ribs -> no anterior attachment

Ribs: Costal Margins

• composed of cartilage


• formed by medial ends of ribs 7-10


• medial ends of the ribs to join form the costal arches

Radius Landmarks

• head


• neck


• radial tuberosity


• ulnar notch


• styloid process


• Lister's tubercle (radial tubercle, dorsal tubercle)

Type of synovial joint: plane joints

- flat articular surface


- nonaxial


- short slipping/glinding
