Anatomy sketelal system sobbing on the floor

The vertebrae that indirectly effect changes changes in the volume of the rib cage are the

thoracic vertebrae

the lumbar vertebrae are the

most massive and least mobile of the vertebrae

of the following selections, the one that correctly identifies the sequence of the vertebrae from superior to inferior is

cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum, coccyx

the atlas and axis are vertebrae identified as

c1 and c2

gaps that permit the passage of nerves running to or from the enclosed spinal cord are called

intervertebral foramina

the vertebral column contains____cervical vertebrae,___thoracic vertebrae, and ___lumbar vertebrae

7,12,5

cervical vertebrae can usually be distinguished from other vertebrae by the presence of

transverse foramina

the odontoid process is found in the

axis

costal processes are located on the___vertebrae

thoracic

thoracic vertebrae can be distinguished from other vertebrae by the presence of

facets for the articulation of ribs

an attachment site for a muscle that closes the anal opening is promary purpose of the

coccyx

the vertebra that holds up the head and articulates with the occupital condyles of the skull is the

atlas

the vertebrae that stabilize relative positions of the brain and spinal cord are the

cervical vertebrae

the bones of the pectoral girdle include the

clavicles and scapulae

the primary function of the pectoral girdle is to

position the shoulder joint and provide a base for arm movement

the heavy bones and the strong, stable joints of the pelvic girdle

bear the weight of the body

the primary type of tissue responsible for stabilizing, posistioning, and bracing the pectoral girdle is

muscles

the large posterior process on the scapula that articulates with the distal end of the clavicle is the

coracoid process

at the glenoid cavity, the scapula articulates with the proximal end of the humerus to from the

shoulder joint

the parallel bones that support the forearm are the

ulna and radius

the pubic symphsis is the articulation that

limits movement between the two pubic bones

the bone that articulates with the coxa at the acetabulum is the

femur

the longest and heaviest bone in the body is the

femur

compared to the pelvis of males, the pelvis of females is

broad, light, and smooth

the eight carpal bones represent the bones of the

wrist

the bones of the foot are called the

metatarsals

the anatomical name for the heel bone is the

calcaneus

the bones of the fingers and toes are collectively referred to as

phalanges

the only direct connection between the pectoral girdle and the axial skeleton is the

clavicle

the pelvic girdle consists of six bones collectively referred to as the

oscoxae

the ulna and radius both have long shafts that contain like process called

styloid processes

the process that the tibia and fibula have in common that acts as a shield for the ankle is the

maliolysis

at the hip join on either side, the head of the femur articulates with the

asetabulum

the popliteal ligaments are responsible for reinforcing the backof the

patella

an enlarge pelvic outlet in the female in an adptation for

child birth

the bone that cannot resist strong forces but proveides the only fixed support for the pectoral girdle is the

clavicle

the thing lateral bone of the lower leg is the

fibula
