Bones and Joints

What type of bones are complex shapes that break impact?

• Long Bone

• Irregular Bone

• Sesamoid Bones

• Flat Bones

What is the example of a sesamoid bone?

• Tarsals

• Carpals

• Clavical

• Patella

Definition of Synovial Joints

• Joint surrounded with soft tissue, which decreases movement to hardly any

• Does not allow a big amount of movement

• Freely movable, however defined my the structure of joints

• Freely movable, not defining any structure of the joints

What allows less friction in movement; bone to bone

• Cartilage

• Bursa

• Ligaments

• Joint Capsule

Fixed Joints are defined how?

• Slightly Movable, with no surrounding tissue

• Allow small amounts of movement, hardly any tissue

• No movement at all, with fibrous tissue

• Fixed bones with cartilage

How many vertebrae are in the Thoracic Vertebrae section?

• 7

• 12

• 14

• 4

How many vertebrae are in the cervical vertebrae section?

• 7

• 5 Fused

• 12

• 4 Fused

Which section of the vertebrae has the 5 largest vertebrae, which are situated in the lower back?

• Coccygeal Vertebrae

• Sacral Vertebrae

• Cervical Vertebrae

• Lumbar Vertebrae

What is the Sacral Vertberae?

• Bottom of the vertebrae column, which has 4 large vertebrae, which are fused together.

• The vertebrae support the most weight in the column and provide attachment to other muscles.

• The seven vetrebrae that sit in the neck, first two are known as Atlas (C1) and Axis (C2)

• Five Vertebrae, located under the Lumbar Vertebrae, where it forms the back wall of the pelvic girdle, between hip bones.

What is Articular cartilage?

• Small fluid sac providing a cushion between the tendons of the muscles and the bone, preventing friction.

• Helps to hold the bone in place and protects the joint.

• Capsule lining that releases synovial fluid.

• Smooth slippery surface covering ends of the bones to stop bones grinding.
