Muscle Tissue Types
This type of muscle tissue is striated and contracts voluntarily to create movement
Skeletal Muscle
This is the number of bones in the human body.
206
The two main divisions of the skeleton are the axial skeleton and this.
Appendicular Skeleton
This motion moves a limb away from the midline of the body.
Abduction
Crutches should be adjusted so the top of the crutch is positioned this distance from your armpit.
3 fingers or about 1-1.5 inches
What is the muscle tissue found in the walls of the heart?
Cardiac Muscle
The skeletal system stores these two minerals for later use.
Calcium and phosphorous
The axial skeleton includes bones of the head, neck, and this body part.
Trunk or spine
Flexion and this motion are opposites.
Extension
When using crutches, your weight should be supported primarily by this body part, NOT your underarms.
Your hands/hand grips
Smooth muscle lines visceral organs and moves this way. Hint: Not voluntarily
Involuntarily
Name two functions of the skeletal system.
Any two of: protects internal organs, produces blood cells, supports body, facilitates movement, stores calcium/phosphorus
Name the bone type that the femur represents.
Long bone
Name the motion that turns the sole of the foot inward.
Inversion
Explain why resting your weight on your underarms while using crutches can be dangerous.
It can cut off circulation, cause nerve damage, or compress blood vessels in the armpit area
Name two characteristics of smooth muscle tissue.
Unstriated and involuntary (accept any two: unstriated, involuntary, lines visceral organs)
Where in bones are blood cells produced?
In bone marrow (found in spongey bone)
The appendicular skeleton includes bones of the extremities and these two girdles (except sacrum and coccyx).
Shoulder girdle and pelvic girdle
Laying on your stomach side is called?
Prone
The 3-point gait should be used when a patient has this type of injury or condition affecting one leg.
When one leg cannot bear weight (or is completely non-weight bearing / severe injury to one leg)
Explain why muscles work in pairs to move the body
To move the body and keep it balanced
Ligaments join bones to other bones and do this to joints.
Stabilize them (or limit their movement)
List three of the five types of bones by name and give an example for each
Long (femur), Short (carpals), Flat (sternum), Irregular (vertebrae), Sesamoid (patella)
Shrugging your shoulders is an example of what motion?
Elevation
When going up stairs with crutches, you should lead with this limb first.
Your good leg (the uninjured leg) OR the stronger leg
