Skeletal Bones & Landmarks
This skeleton division contains the skull, rib cage, and vertebral column
Moving your arm away from the midline is called this movement.
What is abduction?
This plane divides the body into left and right halves.
What is the sagittal plane?
The skull has this type of joint.
What is fibrous?
The hard, dense outer layer of bone is called this.
What is compact bone?
The end of a long bone is called this
What is epiphysis?
What is supination?
Jumping jacks primarily occur in this anatomical plane.
What is the frontal plane?
The elbow joint is classified as this type of synovial joint.
What is a hinge joint?
List the five types of bones in the body with one example of each.
What are flat (sternum), long (femur), short (carpals), irregular (vertebrae), sesamoid (patella)?
The manubrium, body, and xiphoid process are all parts of this bone.
What is the sternum?
Lifting onto your toes demonstrates this specific movement.
What is plantarflexion?
The transverse plane pairs with this axis.
What is the longitudinal axis?
This type of joint is most prone to dislocation.
What is a ball and socket joint?
Differentiate between simple, compound, stress, and comminuted fractures.
What is simple = clean break, compound = broken into separate pieces, stress = microfracture, comminuted = shattered into many pieces?
Name the 3 types of ribs and how they differ.
What are true ribs (direct attachment), false ribs (cartilage attachment), and floating ribs (no attachment anteriorly).
Walking on your heels demonstrates this opposite ankle movement.
What is dorsiflexion?
This plane and axis combo is used during a forward roll in gymnastics.
What is sagittal plane and horizontal axis?
The wrist joint is classified as this synovial joint type?
What is a condyloid joint?
Which type of muscle tissue is involuntary and only found in the heart?
What is cardiac muscle?
Explain why bony landmarks are important in sports performance and movement analysis.
What is because they provide attachment for muscles and guide joint movement efficiency?
Differentiate between protraction and retraction at the scapula with one sport example.
What is protraction scapula moves forward (jab in boxing) and retraction scapula squeezing back (rowing).
What is the transverse plane and longitudinal axis.
List and give examples of the six main synovial joint types.
What are hinge (elbow), ball-and-socket (hip), pivot (neck), gliding (carpals), saddle (thumb), condyloid (wrist)?
Name the three types of muscle tissue and give one function for each.
What are skeletal (voluntary movement, connected to bones for movement), cardiac (involuntary, pumps blood), smooth (walls of internal organs, involuntary)?
