between ankle & foot
53
where are the metatarsals? how are they labeled?
between forefoot & toes & are labeled 1-5 starting from big toe - pinky
54
what are the main skull bones?
mandible (jaw) frontal bone (forehead) temporal bone (sides) occipital (back)
55
what does the vertebral collum consist of?
7 cervical 12 thoracic 5 lumbar sacrum coccyx ( tailbone)
56
what ribs are floating ribs & don't connect to the sternum ?
11 & 12
57
what ribs connect indirectly to the sterum ? why are they not "true ribs"?
8 9 10 because they share the same connective cartilage
58
what makes a rib a "true rib"?
each rib has their own connective cartilage to the sternum
59
Latin meaning for meta
beyond
60
latin meaning for oid
like
61
trick to remember the difference between carpals & tarsals
c before t - wrists before ankles or tarsals for toes
62
what is a sesamoid & name some examples of it
floating bones that develop in the tendons & are shaped like a sesame EX: patella (knee) hyoid bone (anchors thyroid & voice box)
63
what is a long bone & name some examples of it
bones that are longer then they are wide EX: femur (thigh) ulna (lower arm pinky side) tibia ((inside leg bone)

67
what is processes ?
bones on bones (i.e. illum & pelvis)
68

acetabulum (hip socket) ilium (top of pelvis) ASIS (hip bone) Iliac Crest (pelvis arcs) PSIS (back hip bones) sacroiliac joint ischium (bottom of pelvis) ischial tuberosity (sit bones)
69
where is the acetabulum? what does it connect to?
hip socket of ball & socket joint & if you draw a Y in the socket it will divide ilium (above V) & the | divides the anterior & ischium (posterior) of the pelvis
70
where is the illium?
the winged part of the pelvis...if you draw a Y in the acetabulum (hip socket) everything in the V & above is the ilium
71
where is the Iliac Crest?
arches of the ilium
72
what is the sacroiliac joint?
joint that connects the sacrum & ilium
73
where is the ischium?
if you draw a Y in the acetabulum (hip socket) everything on the posterior part of the | is the ischium
74
what & where is the ischial tuberosity?
sit bones & located in the ischium
75
what is the pubic symphysis?
also known as the pubic bone & is cartilage that connect the 2 bones/sides of the pelvis
76
what are the main vertebra processes?
body (thick medial part of vertebra) transverse (side pointy parts) spinus (parts that stick out on the back) vertebra canal ( spinal cord canal)
77
what is the body of a vertebra? What is their purpose?
thick anterior medial part of vertebra that supports weight
78
what is the transverse process of vertebra? What is their purpose?
the lateral (side) points of the vertebra that stick out to support with attachments
79
what is the spinus process of vertebra? What is their purpose?
the back part of the vertebra that stick out posteriorly to protect from over extension & impact
80
what is the spinus process of vertebra? What is their purpose?
the whole of the vertebra that the spinal cord goes through & its to protect the cord from damage
81
what might be the cause to why someone has a lot of mobility & flexibility in the spine?
shorter spinal processes would create more space to allow for more range of movement
82
what might be the cause to why someone is strong but not flexible in the spine?
they have longer spinus processes which provides them more support for weight barring but less room for mobility
83
what is the scapular humeral rhythm ? Why is it important?
how the arm & scapula work together & is important because for safety & to ensure muscles are fired properly the movement should come from the arms first but some people lift from the scapula first which can cause injury & lack of muscle activation
84
what is the angle of inclination?
angle of the ball of the femur & shaft that impacts the range of motion or the hip socket
85
how can you increase range of motion in the hip socket?
externally rotate femur
86
what is the greater trochanter? What does it impact?
its the femur bone shaft’s tip & can influence range of motion, as its dimensions determine whether it makes contact with the ilium.
87
what is the femoral neck? What does it impact?
It’s the section of bone between the femoral ball/head and the shaft, and its dimensions can influence range of motion by altering how the femur interacts with the acetabulum
88
what makes the c1 & c2 vertebra different? How do they work together?
c1- no body c2- has a head c2 that goes into c1 & creates the ability to rotate
89
where is the calcaneus ?
heel bone
90
where is your first rib?
above collarbone by traps
91
Is the ilium & pubis part of the axial skeleton?
NO
92
In the image above, what variations in the morphology of the dancer's hip joints are likely present to allow her to sit in this position?
Increased angle of inclination of femoral neck Narrow diameter of femoral neck
