cervicle vertebrae, allows the head to rotate/pivot

33
New cards

scoliosis

lateral curvature of the vertebral column

34
New cards

True ribs

7 pairs of ribs are attached to the sternum individually

35
New cards

false ribs (8-12)

The false ribs have an indirect attachment to the sternum via

the cartilage of rib 7 or they don"t have any cartilaginous attachment to the sternum (floating ribs).

36
New cards

floating ribs (11-12)

The floating ribs are a type of false rib that does not

have an attachment to the sternum.

37
New cards

What is the difference between male and female pelvis?

1. Male-more curved, longer sacrum & the inlet is narrower more heart-shaped

female-lighter, wider, more flared & the inlet is larger more oval for child bearing

38
New cards

What is the difference between a male and female skull? (honors)

1. Male skulls have larger mastoid process (projections behind the ears), while female skulls have smaller process.

2. Male skulls have more prominent eyebrow ridges, while female skulls have smoother supraorbital ridges.

39
New cards

amphiarthrosis/amphiarthrotic (honors)

slightly movable joints like those in the vertebrae

40
New cards

synarthrosis/synarthrotic (honors)

non movable joint like those in the skull

41
New cards

Diarthrosis/diarthrotic (honors)

freely movable joints most joints like the knee and shoulder etc.

42
New cards

gliding/condyloid joint

Which type of joint has the least or smallest range of motion

43
New cards

saddle

The joint where one bone fits into a saddle like depression on another bone.

44
New cards

hinge joint

Joint between bones (as at the elbow or knee) that permits motion in only one plane

45
New cards

ball and socket

The joint where the ball-like surface on one bone fits into a deep cuplike depression in another bone with the greatest movement

46
New cards

ligaments

Bands of dense regular connective tissue that connect 1 bone to another.bone

47
New cards

The cord of regular dense connective tissue that attaches a muscle to a bone

48
New cards

Rickets disease

skeletal disorder that results in softening and weakening of bones (lower limbs can even bend under the body's weight) that is important in growth and development
