Question Answer
Name all the major bones in the skeletal system Cranium, Clavicle, Sternum, Ribs, Vertebrae, Humerus, Ulna, Carpals, Tarsals, Metatarsals, Metacarpals, Phalanges, Femur, Fibula, Radius, Scapula, Patella, Tibia, Illium, Sacrus, Pubis
Name all the 5 bone types Short bones, Long Bones, Flat bones, Sesamoid bones, Irregular bones
What is the functions of the short bone? Short bones are about as long as they are wide. Located in the wrist and ankle joints, short bones provide stability and some movement.
What is the function of the long bone? The long bones, longer than they are wide, include the femur (the longest bone in the body) as well as kind of small bones in the fingers.
What is the function of flat bones? Flat bones main function is to protect the vital organs such as your brain (Cranium) or lungs (Rib cage & Sternum). The human skeleton has a number of functions, such as protection and supporting weight. The human skeleton has a number of functions, such as protection and supporting weight.
What is the function of Sesamoid bones? Sesamoid bones are bones embedded in tendons. These small, round bones are usually found in the tendons of the hands, knees, and feet.
What is the function of Irregular bones? Irregular bones change in shape and structure and therefore do not fit into any other category (flat, short, long, or sesamoid). They often have a fairly complex shape, which helps protect internal organs
What's the function of the human skeleton? Function of the skeleton The skeleton has four main functions: To support the body To protect some of the vital organs of the body To help the body move To make blood cells
What's the 5 Synovial joints? Cartilage reduces friction. Acts as a shock absorber. Synovial fluid lubricates the joint. Synovial membrane produces synovial fluid. Tendon joins muscle to bone enabling movement. Ligament
