Study Notes
Bone Structure and Function
- Periosteum: The outer lining of connective tissue surrounding the diaphysis (shaft) of a long bone, containing blood vessels.
Muscle Groups and Actions
- Hamstrings: The biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus are located on the posterior thigh and flex the knee.
Joint Locations
- Shoulder Joint: The scapula and humerus articulate at the shoulder joint.
Facial Bones
- Maxilla: The maxilla is a cranial bone, forming part of the upper jaw; it contains the upper teeth and articulates with the temporal bone at the temporomandibular joint (TMJ).
Lower Limb Joints
- Tibia and Femur: The femur (thigh bone) and tibia (shin bone) meet at the tibiofemoral joint.
Cranial Bones
- Occipital Bone: The occipital bone is a cranial bone, and contains the foramen magnum (large opening at the base of the skull). It does not contain the mastoid process and external auditory meatus which are features of the temporal bone.
