Physiology: Unit 6

Axial Skeleton

Half of the skeleton that forms the center of the body and focuses on protecting vital organs. Divided into the skull, rib cage, and vertebral column

Appendicular Skeleton

Half of the skeleton that consists of the bones that connect to the center of the skeleton, allowing for movement and environmental interaction

Skull

Major structure of the axial skeleton that forms the framework of the face, houses sense organs, airways for the lungs, and houses the brain

Parietal Bone

Long Bones

What is the classification for these bones

Short Bones

What is the classification for these bones

Flat Bones

What is the classification for these bones

Irregular Bones

What is the classification for these bones

Cervical Vertebrae

Name this part of the vertebral column

Thoracic Vertebrae

Name this part of the vertebral column

Lumbar Vertebrae

Name this part of the vertebral column

Coccyx

Name this part of the vertebral column

Joints

The meeting place between two or more bones. Body movement happens when muscles contract across these meeting places, moving bones towards eachother

Fibrous Joints

Connects bones with dense fibrous connective tissue. Joints that usually don’t provide any movement (Synarthroses). Found in places like the teeth and skull

Cartilaginous Joint

Connects bones with cartilage. Joints that allow some slight movement (Amphiarthroses). Found in places like the spine and pelvis

Synovial Joints

Connects bones with ligaments. Joints that allow full and free movement (Diarthroses). Found in places like the limbs
