View source
What are the types of bones mentioned in the study material?
Long bones
,
short bones
,
flat bones
,
irregular bones
, and
sesamoid bones
.
View source
How are long bones characterized in terms of structure?
They are longer than they are wider and
cylindrical
in shape.
View source
What are the functions of long bones?
They act as
levers
for movement, produce
red blood cells
, and store calcium.
View source
What is the structure of short bones?
They are often equal in
length
and width, small, and
compact
.
View source
What is the function of short bones?
They help with
weight bearing
and provide
support
in contact with the floor.
View source
What is the structure of flat bones?
They have a flat
exterior
, vary in length and width, and contain
red bone marrow
.
View source
What are the functions of flat bones?
They protect
vital organs
and help stabilize joints through
muscle attachment
.
View source
What is the structure of sesamoid bones?
They are developed within
tendons
, covered with
cartilage
, and small in size.
View source
What are the functions of sesamoid bones?
They ease joint movement, reduce friction, and prevent
hyperextension
of the knee.
View source
What is the structure of irregular bones?
They have complex shapes and do not fit any
category
, varying in size and shape.
View source
What is the function of irregular bones?
They protect vital organs, such as the
spinal cord
through the
vertebral column
.
View source
What are the five types of bones?
Long Bones
Short Bones
Flat Bones
Irregular Bones
Sesamoid Bones
View source
What type of bone is described as almost square shaped and designed for strength and weight bearing?
Short bones
View source
What is an example of a short bone?
Carpals
View source
How does the shape of the vertebrae help its function?
The complex shape allows for protection of the
spinal cord
.
View source
What type of bone is the vertebral column?
Irregular bones
View source
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.
View source
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
.
View source
What type of bone is enclosed in a tendon and what bone belongs in that category?
Sesamoid bones
; an example is the
patella
.
View source
What are the functions of the skeletal system?
Protection of
organs
Attachment of
skeletal muscle
Storage of
minerals
Supporting framework
Movement
Blood cell production
View source
What is the primary focus of the study material?
The
skeletal system
and
anatomy
of
bone
View source
How does the structure of a joint impact movement?
The structure determines the
range
and type of movement possible at the joint
View source
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
View source
What is the function of articular cartilage?
It reduces
friction
between the bones at the joint
View source
What does the medullary cavity contain?
Bone marrow
View source
What is the growth plate and its significance?
It is where bones grow in length until
maturity
View source
What is the name of the long shaft of the bone?
Diaphysis
View source
Why is the medullary cavity important in sports?
It produces
red blood cells
essential for oxygen transport
View source
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
View source
How would you identify a condyle based on its description?
It is a round bump used to form a
joint
with another bone
View source
What is the significance of bony landmarks in anatomy?
They provide specific areas for
muscle attachment
and
joint formation
View source
What questions should you reflect on after an exam?
Consider your performance,
revision
, and
target grades
View source
Why is it important for a marathon runner to have a medullary cavity?
It produces
red blood cells
for oxygen transport to delay fatigue
View source
What is the task in the Skeletal Lesson 2?
To label all of the
bones
and highlight the key
joints

View source
What are the types of bones mentioned in the study material?
Long bones
,
short bones
,
flat bones
,
irregular bones
, and
sesamoid bones
.
View source
What are the characteristics and functions of long bones?
Characteristics:
Longer than they are wider
Found in the
appendicular skeleton
Contain
bone marrow
Cylindrical in shape
Functions:
Movement (act as
levers
)
Blood cell production (red blood cells in bone marrow)
Calcium storage
(to strengthen bones)
View source
What are the characteristics and functions of short bones?
Characteristics:
Equal in
length
and
width
Small and compact
Close to being square
Functions:
Help with
weight bearing
and strength
Support the body in contact with the floor
