Where am I?
This region of the body contains the radius and Ulna.
The Antebrachial region
This bone is joined by the Body and the Manubrium to make up your sternum.
Xiphoid Process - This bone, alongside ribs, is the most common bone broken during CPR
Another name for a joint. Where two or more bones connect allowing movement.
Articulation - The human body has around 360 joints!
This muscle attachment typically remains fixed in place during muscle contraction.
The Origin
This is the anatomical name for a red blood cell.
Erythrocyte
This region is found in both the upper and lower body, distally.
The Digital region
This bone type has a complex and varied shape like the vertebrae.
Irregular bones
The upward movement of a body part. Ex. Shrugging the shoulders.
Elevation
This long, cylindrical cell is the basic unit of skeletal muscle and contracts when stimulated by a nerve impulse.
Muscle Fiber - Some muscle cells are over 12 inches long!
This structure of the heart prevents the backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria.
The atrioventricular valves (AV valve)
The root word for this region means "head"
The Cephalic region
This bone gets its name from the latin root which means "stirrup" and is the smallest bone in the body.
The Stapes - about 0.1 Inches (2.5mm)
This synovial joint has two articulating sufaces that are reciprocally concave and convex.
A Saddle Joint. - The only true saddle joint in your body is in your thumb!
This innermost layer of connective tissue covers the muscle fibers of a skeletal muscle.
Endomysium - It is so small and thin, it can only be seen microscopically!
This structure of the heart gets its name from the latin root for "ear"
The Auricle
This region contains seven bones and supports your head.
The Cervical region. - Fun fact, Humans and Giraffes both have 7 cervical vertebrae!
*DAILY DOUBLE* When these two fused bones (each made from three childhood bones) join together with the sacrum, they form the structure commonly known as the pelvis.
The Os Coxae
These small, fluid filled sacs act as cushions between bones, muscles, and tendons to reduce friction.
Bursae
This specialized tissue's primary function is to regulate Calcium ion (Ca2+) concentration.
The Sarcoplasmic Reticulum
This structure is known as the wall between the two ventricles
The Inter-ventricular Septum
It really hurts when you hit this region into a hard object as you have no padding here.
The Crural region
This is the process of bone formation where cartilage or fibrous tissue is replaced by bone.
Ossification
This action refers to turning the sole of the foot outward and away from the bodys midline.
Eversion.
These muscle fibers contract quickly and resist fatigue better than glycolytic fibers thanks to their intermediate oxidative capacity.
The fast oxidative muscle fibers
This specialized white blood cell typically contains a Neutrophil, Basophil, or Eosinophil in its cytoplasm.
Granulocyte
