- 11What bone is O?Tibia
- 12What bone is P?Fibula
- 13What bone is S?Patella
- 14What bone is R?Ribs
- 15What bones are in the hand?Carpals, Metacarpals, Phalanges
- 16What bones are in the feet?Tarsals, Metatarsals, Phalanges
- 17What are the functions of the skeleton?Support and posture
Movement
Protection
Blood cell production
Mineral Storage - 18Describe Shape, Support and posture (Function of the skeleton)Strong, rigid bones hold up the body
- 19Describe Movement (Function of the skeleton)Muscles are attached to the bones via tendons, the skeleton provides a structure for the muscles to attach to and move
- 20A practical example of movementThe quadricep and hamstring attach to the femur and contract to move the leg
- 21Describe protection (Function of the skeleton)Bones are extremely strong, they protect the vital organs from harm
- 22A practical example for protectionIn a rugby scrum the ribs protect the heart, lungs, and other vital organs in the chest from damage
- 23Description of blood production (Function of the skeleton)The white and red blood cells are produced in the bone marrow
- 24Description of storage of minerals eg calcium and phosphorus (Function of the skeleton)Bones store vital minerals such as calcium and phosphorus. These minerals make bones and teeth strong
- 25What is a synovial joint?It is a joint which is moveable and contains a lubricating liquid called synovial fluid. They are usually located in your limbs where movement is required
- 26Examples of a hinge jointKnee
Elbow - 27Examples of a ball and socket jointHip
Shoulder - 28Articulating bones at the kneeFemur, tibia
- 29Articulating bones at the elbowHumerus, Radius and Ulna
- 30Articulating bones at the shoulderHumerus, Scapula
- 31Articulating bones at the hipPelvis, Femur
- 32Movement at hinge jointFlexion
Extension - 33Movement at ball and socket jointFlexion
Extension
Adduction
Abduction
Rotation
Circumduction - 34Description of FlexionDecreasing angle at a joint
- 35Examples of FlexionBending the knee
Bending the elbow
(Bicep curl) - 36Description of ExtensionIncreasing the angle at a joint
- 37Examples of ExtensionStraightening the knee
Straightening the elbow
(Reaching to hit the ball in tennis) - 38Description of AdductionMoving towards the midline of the body
- 39Examples of AdductionMoving in from a star jump
- 40Description of AbductionMoving away from the midline of the body
- 41Examples of AbductionSide stepping
- 42Description of rotationMoving a limb in a circular motion in either direction
- 43Examples of RotationSwinging the tennis racket in a serve
- 44Description of CircumductionCombination of Flexion, Extension, Abduction and Adduction
- 45Examples of CircumductionCircular movement of the ankle, shoulder, hip or wrist
- 46CartilageSmooth, slippery, reduces friction, helps reduce shock
- 47LigamentTough strip of tissue joining bone to bone
- 48TendonJoins muscle to bone
(BMT) - 49(Synovial membrane)Makes and keeps in the synovial fluid
- 50(Synovial fluid)Oils or lubricates the joint, helping it to move more easily
