Spongey bone is cancellous bone.
❌ bone is needed for strength and weight bearing. ❌ bone is for shock absorption.
Compact and cancellous bone are made of the same materials.
Which of the following is not a class of bone shape?
Long bones
Short bones
Sesamoid bones
Intermediate bones
Flat bones
Irregular bones
A long bone is one which is longer than a certain length, not small, e.g. your femur.
Select the correct summaries about bone's gross structure.
Flat bones are curved, have a thin layer of cancellous bone within two thin layers of compact bone, and provide protection or surface for muscle attachment.
Irregular bones can be differentiated from flat bones generally by observing they have a hole within them.
Long bones have a diaphysis, and wider extremities at the ends called the epiphyses. They function as levers.
Short bones are equal in length and width, and are mostly compact bone.
Sesamoid bones vary from person to person.
The axial skeleton is made up of:
skull, thoracic cage, vertebral column
skull, thoracic cage, vertebral column not including coccyx
limbs, pectoral girdle, pelvic girdle, extremities
The skull is composed of the facial bones, and cranial vault.
The spine has 5 divisions.
There are ❌ cervical vertebrae, ❌ thoracic vertebrae, and ❌ lumbar vertebrae.
The thoracic cage comprises of the ❌, costal ❌, and 12 sets of ❌ on each side (with ❌ being true ribs.)
The pectoral girdle comprises of the ❌, which allow a large ROM. It is ❌ stable than the pelvic girdle, which is comprised of the ❌(which is axial).
Select the statements which are true.
The humerus and femur both have round heads and distal condyles.
The humerus articulates with the fibula.
The ulna is the medial bone of the forearm.
The main force of weight moves through the fibula, and it is the first leg bone to break.
All the fingers have 3 phalanges.
There are 8 carpals in a hand.
