Personal training – skeletal system

A description of the bones of the body.

A condition of reduced bone mineral density, which increases risk of bone fracture.

The site where two bones meet and movement occurs as a result of muscle contraction

A division of the skeletal system, consisting of skull, rib, and the vertebral column.

A division of the skeletal system, consisting of arms, legs, and pelvic girdle.

Rigid rods were muscles attach.

The process by which bone is constantly renewed by the resorption formation of the bone structure.

Special cells that break down and remove old bone tissue.

Special cells that form and lay down new bone tissue.

Scientific explanation of how remodeling (new bone growth) occurs along the lines of stress placed on the bone.

Flattened or indented portions of bone.

Projections protruding from the bone where tendons and ligaments can attach.

Bones that has the spinal cord; consist of the cervical, thoracic, and lumbosacral regions.

Bundle of nerves housed within the vertebrae.

Fibrous cartilage structures between vertebrae that act as shock, absorbers, and assist with movement.

Represents a position in which the vertebrae and associated structures are under the least amount of load and can most optimally support functional movement

Movement of a limb that is visible.

The description of joint surface movement; consist of three major types: role, slide, or glide and spin.

A joint with a fluid filled joint capsule.

A gliding joint that moves in only one plane, either back-and-forth or side to side.

Joints that have no joint capsule, fiber, connective tissue, or cartilage in the United structure.

A fiber connective tissue that connects bone to bone.

A protein found and connected tissue, muscle, and skin that provides strength and structure. It is the most abundant protein in the human body.

A protein that provides elasticity to skin, tendons, ligaments, and other structures.

Specialized cartilage disc located in the epiphysis that is responsible for a longitude of bone growth.

• Long
• Short
• Flat
• Sesamoid

• Long cylindrical shaft with a regular or widened ends.
• Examples: humorous, which is the upper arm bone or femur, which is the thigh bone

• Similar in length in with an appear somewhat cubicle in shape.
• Examples: carpals of the wrist and tarsals of the ankle.

• Thin, protective services that provide broad surfaces for muscles to attach.
• Examples: scapula which is the shoulder blade, the sternum, which is the breast plate, and ribs.

• Unique shape and function from all other bones.
• Example: vertebrae, which is the spinal column

• Small, often round bones embedded in joint capsules or found in locations where a tendon passes over a joint.
• Example: patella which is the kneecap.

• Breakfast at 7am - 7 cervical vertebrae at the neck
• Lunch at noon - 12 thoracic vertebrae in the mid back.
• Dinner at 5 PM - 5 lumbar vertebrae at the lower back

Form a flexible framework and provide support and motion for the head.

• Each vertebra articulates with a rib helping form the rear anchor of the rib cage.
• They are larger than cervical vertebrae and increase in size from top to bottom.

Largest segments in the spinal column. Supports most of the bodies weight and are attached to many back muscles.

Triangular bone located below the lumbar spine. Composed of five vertebrae that fused together as the body develops into adult hood.

Located below the sacrum more commonly known as the tailbone. Composed of 3 to 5 small fused bones.
