Questions and Answers

What are the structures of a long bone?

Epiphyses, diaphysis, articular cartilage, spongy bone, compact bone.

What are the structures found within an osteon?

Central canal, lacunae, canaliculi.

What is the function of the articular cartilage?

To reduce friction and provide a smooth surface for joint movement.

Where do the spongy and compact bone reside in a long bone?

Spongy bone is found in the epiphyses, while compact bone is found in the diaphysis. Signup and view all the answers

Muscle Basics

Learn muscle nomenclature for appendicular and axial regions
Identify muscle locations (e.g., Abdominis - abdomen, Brachium - arm, Femoris - thigh, Gluteus - buttock, Pectoralis - chest)
Identify muscle shapes (e.g., Deltoid - triangular, Trapezius - trapezoid, Piriformis - pear shaped)
Understand muscle fiber direction (e.g., Rectus - straight, Transverse - perpendicular, Oblique - slanted)
Note muscle size (e.g., Brevis - short, Longus - long, Maximus - largest, Minimus - smallest)
Know muscle origins (e.g., Bi - two, Tri - three, Quad - four, ...ceps - head)
