MCPHS BIO 110 EXAM #2 (CHAPTER 7)
intervertebral disks - -provide support
-prevent vertebrae from rubbing against each other
-compresses with age, making a human shorter
posterior view of the skull (name parts) - -parietal and occipital bones
-lambdoid suture: between parietal bones and occipital bone
-external occipital protuberance
- nuchal lines: neck muscle attachment points
the average adult has how many bones - 206 bones
parts of the axial skeleton - skull, ossicles, vertebral column, and thoracic age
parts of the appendicular skeleton - upper and lower limbs, pectoral and pelvic girdles
flat bone - thin and curved bone; serves as a point of attachment for muscles and protects
internal organs
long bone - longer than they are wide
irregular bone - bone of complex shape; protects internal organs from compressive forces
short bone - cube-shaped bone that is approximately equal in length, width, and thickness;
provides limited motion
body - main part
, head - enlarged end
neck - constriction between head and body
margin/border - edge
angle - bend
ramus - branch off body
condyle - smooth rounded articular surace
facet - small flattened articular surface
process - prominent projection
tubercle - small rounded bump
tuberosity - knob
trochanter - tuberosities on proximal femur
epicondyle - near or above condyle
lingula - flat, tongue-shaped process
hamulus - hook-shaped process
