What is the first stage of motor skill
development?
During stage 1 (cognitive), you may need to use simple instructions
and break down the skill into smaller steps so your clients will be
able to understand the goals of the movement
What is the second stage of motor development?
During stage 2 (associative), you may need to help refine your
clients’ skills through practice and regular feedback
What is the third stage of motor development?
During stage 3 (autonomous), you may be able to teach your clients
new versions of the skill to further challenge them
What is inside each vertebra?
An intervertebral disc that acts as a shock absorber and
assists with movement.
What do osteokinematics describe?
Bone movement
What do arthrokinematics describe?
Movement at the joint surface
How many bones are in the human body and how many are voluntary movement?
206 bones and 177 are voluntary movement
What bones are in the axial system?
Skull, rib cage and vertebral column-80 bones
What bones are in the appendicular column?
Arms, legs, and pelvic girdle- 126 bones
Special cells that break down and remove old bone tissue?
Osteoclasts
Special cells that form and lay down new bone tissue?
Osteoblasts
What bones are Long, cylindrical shaft with irregular or widened ends?
Humerus (i.e., the upper arm
bone)
Femur (i.e., the thigh bone)
What bones are similar in length and width and appear somewhat cubical in
shape?
Carpals of the wrist
Tarsals of the ankle
What bones are thin, protective surfaces that provide broad surfaces for muscles to attach?
Scapulae (i.e., the shoulder
blades)
Sternum (i.e., the breast plate)
Ribs
What bones are unique shape and function from all other bone types?
Vertebrae (i.e., the spinal
column)
What bones are small, often round bones embedded in a joint capsule or
found in locations where a tendon
passes over a joint?

Depression
Projections protruding from the bone where tendons and ligaments can attach?
Processes
First seven vertebrae starting at the top of the spinal
column
Form a flexible framework and provide support and motion
for the head. Which vertebral column is this?
Cervical spine
(C1–C7)
Twelve vertebrae located in the upper and middle back
behind the ribs
Each vertebra articulates with a rib helping form the rear
anchor of the rib cage
Larger than cervical vertebrae and increase in size from top
to bottom. Which vertebral column is this?
Thoracic spine
(T1–T12)
Five vertebrae of the low-back below the thoracic spine
Largest segments in the spinal column
Support most of the body’s weight and are attached to many back muscles. Which vertebral column is this?
Lumbar spine
(L1–L5)
Triangular bone located below the lumbar spine
Composed of five vertebrae that fuse together as the body develops into adulthood. Which vertebral column is this?
Sacrum
Located below the sacrum, more commonly known as the
tailbone
Composed of three to five small fused bones. Which vertebral column is this?
Coccyx
Movement of a limb that is visible?
Osteokinematics
