    • How are long bones characterized in terms of structure?
      They are longer than they are wider and cylindrical in shape.
    • What are the functions of long bones?
      They act as levers for movement, produce red blood cells, and store calcium.
    • What is the structure of short bones?
      They are often equal in length and width, small, and compact.
    • What is the function of short bones?
      They help with weight bearing and provide support in contact with the floor.
    • What is the structure of flat bones?
      They have a flat exterior, vary in length and width, and contain red bone marrow.
    • What are the functions of flat bones?
      They protect vital organs and help stabilize joints through muscle attachment.
    • What is the structure of sesamoid bones?
      They are developed within tendons, covered with cartilage, and small in size.
    • What are the functions of sesamoid bones?
      They ease joint movement, reduce friction, and prevent hyperextension of the knee.
    • What is the structure of irregular bones?
      They have complex shapes and do not fit any category, varying in size and shape.
    • What is the function of irregular bones?
      They protect vital organs, such as the spinal cord through the vertebral column.
    • What are the five types of bones?
      • Long Bones
      • Short Bones
      • Flat Bones
      • Irregular Bones
      • Sesamoid Bones
    • What type of bone is described as almost square shaped and designed for strength and weight bearing?
      Short bones
    • What is an example of a short bone?
      Carpals
    • How does the shape of the vertebrae help its function?
      The complex shape allows for protection of the spinal cord.
    • What type of bone is the vertebral column?
      Irregular bones
    • What type of bone is the humerus and how is it described?
      Long bone; it is longer than it is wider and cylindrical in shape.
    • What bone has the main function of protection and give two examples of that type of bone?
      Flat bones; examples include the cranium and sternum.
    • What type of bone is enclosed in a tendon and what bone belongs in that category?
      Sesamoid bones; an example is the patella.
    • What are the functions of the skeletal system?
      • Protection of organs
      • Attachment of skeletal muscle
      • Storage of minerals
      • Supporting framework
      • Movement
      • Blood cell production
    • What is the primary focus of the study material?
      The skeletal system and anatomy of bone
    • How does the structure of a joint impact movement?
      The structure determines the range and type of movement possible at the joint
    • What are the different types of joints and their movement capabilities?
      • Ball and Socket: Most movement, ball shape not fully encased
      • Hinge: Movement in one plane only
      • Pivot: Rotation within a bone hole
      • Condyloid: Less movement due to more encasement
      • Gliding: Small movements as bones glide over each other
      • Saddle: Simple movements due to middle connection
    • What is the function of articular cartilage?
      It reduces friction between the bones at the joint
    • What does the medullary cavity contain?
      Bone marrow
    • What is the growth plate and its significance?
      It is where bones grow in length until maturity
    • What is the name of the long shaft of the bone?
      Diaphysis
    • Why is the medullary cavity important in sports?
      It produces red blood cells essential for oxygen transport
    • What are the definitions of bony landmarks?
      • Condyles: Round bumps forming joints
      • Fossa: Shallow dips for bone attachment
      • Tuberosity: Medium bumps for muscle or tendon attachment
      • Notch: Indentations for bone movement
      • Process: Projections from the bone, often sharp
    • How would you identify a condyle based on its description?
      It is a round bump used to form a joint with another bone
    • What is the significance of bony landmarks in anatomy?
      They provide specific areas for muscle attachment and joint formation
    • What questions should you reflect on after an exam?
      Consider your performance, revision, and target grades
    • Why is it important for a marathon runner to have a medullary cavity?
      It produces red blood cells for oxygen transport to delay fatigue
