Bones

What bones are located in the Head/Neck?

Cranium and vertebrae

What bones are located at the shoulders

Scapula and Humerus

What bones are located at the chest?

Ribs and Sternum

What bones are located at the elbow?

Humerus, Radius and Ulna

What noe’s are located at the Hip?

Pelvis and Hip

What bows are located at the Knee?

Femur, Patella, Tibula and Fibula

What bones are located at the Ankle?

Tibula, Fibula and Talus

What are Hinge joints?

Found at the elbow, knee and ankle. Hinge joints allow extension, flexion, adduction, abduction, rotation and circumduction movements

What is a Ball and socket joint?

Found in the hips and shoulders. Ball and socket joints allow flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, rotation and circumduction

Flexion

A bending movement which decreases an angle

Extention

A straightening movement which increase an angle

Abduction

Moving away from midline of body

Adduction

Moving towards midline of body

Plantar flexion

Pointing toes downwards

Dorsi flexion

Pointing toes upwards

Rotation

Rotation around a joint or axis

Circumduction

Movement in a shape of a cone

What are Long bones?

Enable gross, large movements by working as levers e.g femur and humerus

What is a Short bone?

Enables finer and controlled movements e.g talus(ankle) and carpals(wrist)

What is a Flat bone?

Enables protection to organs or a broad surface for muscles to attach to and protect us in sport situations. E.g cranium and ribs

What are Irregular bones?

Bones with a specific shape to cater for a unique purpose. E.g vertebrae and pelvis

How does the skeleton Protect vital organs via flat bones?

The cranium protects the brain and the ribs protect vital organs

How does the skeleton provide Support?

The skeleton provides support but providing a structural shape for muscles and tissues to attach to it

How does the skeleton create movement?

Bones provide anchors for muscles to attach. Tendons attack muscle to bones then muscles pull on bones to create movement

How does the skeletal Store minerals?

The bones store calcium to remain strong

How does the skeleton Produce blood cells?

Red blood cells are produced which cells carry oxygen. White blood cells are produced to fight infections and platelets are produced to clot blood
