- 2Name all the 5 bone typesShort bones, Long Bones, Flat bones, Sesamoid bones, Irregular bones
- 3What is the functions of the short bone?Short bones are about as long as they are wide. Located in the wrist and ankle joints, short bones provide stability and some movement.
- 4What is the function of the long bone?The long bones, longer than they are wide, include the femur (the longest bone in the body) as well as kind of small bones in the fingers.
- 5What is the function of flat bones?Flat bones main function is to protect the vital organs such as your brain (Cranium) or lungs (Rib cage & Sternum).
The human skeleton has a number of functions, such as protection and supporting weight.
The human skeleton has a number of functions, such as protection and supporting weight.
- 6What is the function of Sesamoid bones?Sesamoid bones are bones embedded in tendons. These small, round bones are usually found in the tendons of the hands, knees, and feet.
- 7What is the function of Irregular bones?Irregular bones change in shape and structure and therefore do not fit into any other category (flat, short, long, or sesamoid). They often have a fairly complex shape, which helps protect internal organs
- 8What's the function of the human skeleton?Function of the skeleton
The skeleton has four main functions:
To support the body
To protect some of the vital organs of the body
To help the body move
To make blood cells - 9What's the 5 Synovial joints?Cartilage reduces friction. Acts as a shock absorber.
Synovial fluid lubricates the joint.
Synovial membrane produces synovial fluid.
Tendon joins muscle to bone enabling movement.
