Skeletal System I
This is the scientific name for your spine.
What is the vertebral column?
What are the vertebrae?
These are the three main functions of the skeletal system overall.
What are protection, mobility, and stability?
These are the three different types of muscle types in the human body.
What are skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscles?
This muscles has many functions. What is the major function of the trapzeius muscles.
What is shoulder stability?
What is posture?
What is a shoulder shrug?
This muscle translates to the word "tailor".
What are the satorius muscles?
This is the scientific name for your shoulder blades.
These skeletal components act as "shock absorbers" between the joints.
What is cartilage?
This is the major function of the glute MAXIMUS.
What is hip POWER?
This is the term for the group of muscles that EXTERNALLY ROTATE, ABDuct, and allow our arm to elevate forward.
What are the Rotator Cuff muscles?
These are the major muscles of the lower extremity which help us perform squats.
What are the Glutes, Quadriceps, and Hamstrings?
This is the scientific name for your wrist bones
What are the carpals?
Compare: These skeletal components connect bone to bone, while these skeletal components connect muscle to bone.
What are the liagments?
What are tendons?
The quadriceps are responsible for this action.
What is knee extension?
The hamstrings are responsible for this action.
What is knee flexion?
This is the strongest tendon in the human body.
What is the achilles tendon?
This is the scientific name for your lower leg bones.
(i.e. Below the patella and knee joint)
What are the tibia and fibula? (Tib-Fib)
These are the four different TYPES of bones in the human body.
List ONE example for each type of bone.
What are long, short, flat, and irregular?
Long -- Leg and Arm bones
Short -- Carpals and Tarsals
Flat -- Ribs, Sternum, and Scapulae
Irregular -- Vertebrae and Pelvis
These two actions only occur at the carpal joints and DO NOT occur anywhere else in the human body.
What are Radial Deviation and Ulnar Deviation?
Skeletal muscle acts involuntarily while cardiac and smooth muscle acts voluntarily.
WHAT IS FALSE?
These two groups of muscles act opposite of each other in the arm. One flexes our elbow while the other extends our elbow.
What are the biceps and triceps?
DOUBLE JEOPARDY
These are the four main functions of the vertebral column.
These are the two functions of why our vertebral column have kyphotic and lordotic curves.
What are protection, mobility, stability, and rib attachment?
What are for balance and equal pressure distribution due to gravity and to have a natural sway?
These two joint complexes allow for maximum mobility in the human body. Name the two complexes and their six motions at each complex.
What are the shoulder and hip joints?
What are flexion and extension, external and interna rotation, and ABDuction and ADDuction?
List three functions of skeletal muscle for the human body.
What are mobility, posture (stability), heat production (thermoregulation), protection, and an energy source esp during starvation.
These muscles dorsiflex the ankle joint and these muscle plantarflex the ankle joint.
What are tibialis anterior and the gastro-soleus (calves)?
This is the scientific name for the fingers and the toes.
Spelling counts on this one!
What are the phalanges?
