Study Notes
Skeletal System Overview
- The skeleton is referred to as the infrastructure of the body, providing a structural framework.
- The combined system of bones and muscles is called the musculoskeletal system.
- Self-generated movement in the body is termed locomotion.
Bone Tissue and Functions
- Bone tissue can also be referred to as osseous tissue.
- The process of blood cell formation is known as hematopoiesis.
- Vertebrae are categorized as irregularly shaped bones.
Skull and Rib Cage Structure
- The skull consists of 8 cranial bones and 14 facial bones.
- The thoracic cavity is encased by the ribs, vertebral column, and sternum.
Anatomical Relationships
- The clavicle is commonly known as the collar bone, while the shoulder blade is referred to as the scapula.
- In anatomical positioning, the ulna runs parallel with the little finger and the radius aligns with the thumb.
- The shin bone is identified as the tibia.
- The big toe is known as the hallux.
Joints and Movement Types
- Articulations define the areas where two bones meet to form a joint.
- Synovial joints are not categorized as fibrous joints.
- Synchondrosis and symphysis are both types of cartilaginous joints.
- Synarthrotic joints are categorized as immovable joints.
- Diarthrotic joints, also known as synovial joints, are characterized as freely moving.
- Amphiarthrotic joints allow for slight movement.
Osteoporosis and Women's Health
- Menopausal women experience a higher risk of osteoporosis due to decreased estrogen levels.
Types of Synovial Joints
- The six types of synovial joints are:
- Gliding
- Hinge
- Pivot
- Condyloid
- Saddle
- Ball and socket
