examples of long bones - Answer-• humerus
• femur
• phalanges
examples of short bones - Answer-• carpals (wrist)
• tarsals (ankle)
• occur in clusters
examples of flat bones - Answer-• ribs
• scapula
• sternum
• cranial
examples of irregular bones - Answer-• skull and face (found in the nasal sinus, orbit of the eye and jaw
(mandible and zygoma)
,• vertebrae
examples of round bones and what's another name for them? - Answer-• patella
• the 2 round bones found on the head of the metatarsal in the foot or "ball" of the foot (Calcaneus)
• Round bones or sesamoid
what connects the skull? - Answer-• fibrous interlocking joints of connective tissue called sutures, which
are unique to cranial bones
what are immovable joints called? give an example - Answer-• synarthrosis
• "-arthro-" = joint
• suture lines of the cranial bones
what are slightly movable joints called? give 2 examples - Answer-• amphiarthrosis
• vertebrae
• symphysis pubis
what are freely movable joints called? what else are they called? - Answer-• diarthosis
• also called synovial joints
what are the 6 types of freely movable joints? - Answer-• ball-and-socket
• condyloid
• gliding
• hinge
• pivot
• saddle
, what is a ball and socket joint? give 2 examples - Answer-• has the widest range of motion (ROM)
• example: shoulder and hip
what is a condyloid joint? give an example - Answer-• movement in 1 plane wit some lateral movement
• example: temporomandibular joint (TMJ)
what is a gliding joint? give an example - Answer-• movement is from side-to-side and twisting
• example: carpals of the wrist
what is a hinge joint? give two examples - Answer-• allows for movement in one plane, much like the
hinge on a door
• examples: elbow, knee
what is a pivot joint? give an example - Answer-• only rotational movement around a central axis
• example: proximal end of the radius
what is a saddle joint? give an example - Answer-• movement in a variety of planes
• joint between the thumb metacarpal and trapezium of wrist
what is abduction? - Answer-• moving a body part away from the midline of the body
what is adduction? - Answer-• moving a body part toward the midline of the body
what is circumduction - Answer-• moving a particular body part in a circular path without moving the
entire body part
