Summary Introduction
Introduction:
There are a total number of thirty bones inthe upper and lower limbs. The upper limbs differ in shape and size when matched with the lower limbs. The locomotion is possible by the presence of legs while the lifting, holding, writing and some manual process are possible by the presence of hands.

Name and describe the arrangement of the bones of the arm (between the scapula and the carpal bones, not including the scapula or carpal bones) and the bones of the leg (between the hip bone and the tarsal bones, not including the hip bone or tarsal bones). You should of course use anatomical position as the reference point. And you should be using the appropriate anatomical directional terms.
Almost all limb joints in the human skeleton are synovial joints, which are diarthrotic. List and explain the six features that make synovial joints distinct from the other joint types.
The bones of the elbow joint include the humerus and the
ulna. The humeral surface looks like a cylinder whereas the
ulnar surface looks like a trough. Based on this description,
the elbow joint is classified as a
joint.

What preventative measures can be utilized to avoid this injury?arrow_forwardThe carpus (wrist) relative to the shoulder would be:arrow_forwardYou have 206 bones in your body as an adult. These bones are classified based on body region (axial vs appendicular) and shape. Classify each of the following bones by SHAPE (use your textbook if you haven't learned the bones yet): Calcaneus V [Choose ] irregular Frontal long short Femur flat Humerus [Choose ] Mandible [ Choose ] Metacarpal [ Choose ] Radius [ Choose ] Sternum [ Choose ] Veretebra [ Choose ]arrow_forward
- An Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) responds to a call about a fall out of a tree. On arrival, the EMT sees a young boy lying at the bottom of the tree; his right arm is visibly deformed. The EMT suspects the arm may be broken.1. Describe the anatomical terms the EMT will use to describe the injury to the emergency department physician.2. What life function will be affected by the fall?3. The boy is right-handed; describe other life functions that may be affected by his injury.arrow_forwardIndicate how many of each bone (the total) are found in a (typical) adult human, and include the plural form of the word if there is more than one.arrow_forwardIn anatomical position the head is the most superior part of the body and the tail bone is the most blank.

- The inner thigh relative to the outer thigh would be:arrow_forwardSelect 1 of the terms in parentheses and write it into the blank. The inside of the knee is (medial, lateral) Medial to the outside of the knee. The (transverse, median, frontal) Transverse plane separates the body into superior and inferior halves. The scapula is (anterior, posterior) Posterior to the clavicle. The little toe is (medial, lateral) Lateral to the big toe. The ulna is (medial, lateral) Medial to the radius. The shin bone is (medial, lateral) Medial to the fibula. The femur is (proximal, distal) Proxima to the shin bone. The (transverse, median, frontal) Median plane separates the body into lateral halves. The trachea is (superior, inferior) Superior to the larynx. The (transverse, median, frontal) Frontal plane divides the body into anterior & posterior segments.arrow_forwardWhich of the following examples represents a bony joint, or synostosis? Multiple Choice Cranial sutures form as a synostosis when the baby's fontanels close. When the two maxillary bones unite to form the anterior two thirds of the hard palate, a synostosis develops. An infant is born with right and left mandibular bones, but they soon fuse into a single bone. A synostosis occurs in the jaw when a child's second set, or permanent teeth come in. A synostosis develops at the ends of the tibia and fibula to help hold them together.arrow_forward
- How do bones, synovial fluid, tendons, ligaments, and articular cartilage work together to allow synovial joint movement? Please explicitly include the bone feature that allows for tendon/ligament attachment. *arrow_forwardOne reason the skeletal system is important is because: A) the skeletal system creates the connective tissue and tendons that allow the body to move B) the skeletal system is responsible for controlling functions of the entire body C) without the skeletal system, an individual would not have enough calcium to live D) the skeletal system is solely responsible for housing the body's immune systemarrow_forwardWhich of the following terms denotes a general condition that includes the other four?a. goutb. arthritisc. rheumatismd. osteoarthritise. rheumatoid arthritisarrow_forward
