Resumo de Recurso
The Skeletal System
Is made up of two parts
The Axial Skeleton
which consists of 80 bones along the midline of the body.
The Appendeciular
which consists of 126 bones that make up our limbs.
Bones themselves are categorized into five groups called
the Long Bone
an example being the humerus or femur.
the Short Bone
Such as our fingers (phalanges).
the Sesamoid Bone
like our knee cap aka Patella.
the Irregular Bone
such as those that make up our spine.
the Flat Bone
which is the type of bone our skulls are.
But what allows bones to move when muscles pull on them?
They move because of Joints. Humans have three types called:
Fibrous
which are unable to move.
Cartilagenous
Allow for slight movement, found within the spine.
Synovial; which there are six kinds of.
Hinge Joint
an example of this would be the elbow (the humerus and ulna)
Ball and Socket joint
an example of this would be the hip or shoulder joints
Gliding joint
which are found within the tarsals and carpals, in our feet and hands.
Pivot joint
an example of this would be the joint between the atlas and axis.
Saddle Joint
which is found in the thumb
Ellipsoid joint
which is found in the wrist
What are the types of injuries that can happen to the skeletal system?
Bones experience fractures which are divided into three types called:
Simple fractures
these are breaks on the surface of the bone while it is intact.
an example would be stress fractures (over repeated use) or hairline fractures.
Compound fractures
these happen when the bone is split into two pieces.
for example breaking your femur in half.
Comminuted fractures
which occur when the bone, or a part, is shattered.
this happens commonly during major car accidents.
Bones are also prone to disease such as osteoporosis.
This is a degenerative condition that causes bones to become fragile and brittle.
Women are more prone to this then men are but
it can be combated with a balanced diet rich in calcium, weight bearing exercise, a healthy lifestyle (no smoking etc.).
Joints experience different types of injuries called:
Cartilage Damage.
Cartilage is what reduces the damage bones would take while they move in their joints.
This begins to wear out over our life span, but can also happen quickly causing sharp pains within the joint.
Sprains.
This occurs when the ligaments holding bones are overstretched.
First degree means that only a few fibres were overstretched.
Second degree means some fibres in the ligament tore.
Third degree means the ligament is almost completely torn.
Dislocations and Seperations.
Dislocations occur when a bone leaves its joint.
Seperations occur when ligaments holding bones together are torn.
How do muscles attach to bone?
Muscles attach on bones by way of tendons or attaching to the surface of the bone. Not to be confused with ligaments which hold bones together
The place where a muscle attaches to the bone is known as a landmark
