A&p Chapter 7

Front 1

Lumbar vertebrae

Back 1

The five vertebrae of the lumbar region of the vertebral column, commonly called the small of the back.

Front 2

Skull

Back 2

Bony protective encasement of the brain and the organs of hearing and equilibrium; includes cranial and facial bones.

Front 3

Calcaneal tendon

Back 3

Tendon that attaches the calf muscles to the heelbone (calcaneus); also called the Achilles tendon.

Front 4

Fontanelles

Back 4

Fibrous membranes at the angles of cranial bones that accommodate brain growth in the fetus and infant.

Front 5

Fovea

Back 5

A pit

Front 6

Pectoral (shoulder) girdle

Back 6

Bones that attach the upper limbs to the axial skeleton; includes the clavicle and scapula.

Front 7

Pelvic girdle (hip girdle)

Back 7

Consists of the paired coxal bones that attach the lower limbs to the axial skeleton.

Front 8

Achilles tendon

Back 8

Tendon that attaches the calf muscles to the heelbone (calcaneus). See Calcaneal tendon.

Front 9

Thorax

Back 9

That portion of the body trunk above the diaphragm and below the neck.

Front 10

Ramus

Back 10

Branch of a nerve, artery, vein, or bone.

Front 11

Cervical vertebrae

Back 11

The seven vertebrae of the vertebral column located in the neck.

Front 12

Vertebral column (spine)

Back 12

Formed of a number of individual bones called vertebrae and two composite bones (sacrum and coccyx).

Front 13

Lamina

Back 13

(1) A thin layer or flat plate; (2) the portion of a vertebra between the transverse process and the spinous process.

Front 14

Meatus

Back 14

External opening of a canal.

Front 15

Intervertebral discs

Back 15

Discs of fibrocartilage between vertebrae.

Front 16

Pectoral

Back 16

Pertaining to the chest.

Front 17

Thoracic cage (bony thorax)

Back 17

Bones that form the framework of the thorax; includes sternum, ribs, and thoracic vertebrae.

Front 18

Axial

Back 18

Relating to the head, neck, and trunk; one of the two major divisions of the body.

Front 19

Cranium (cranial bones)

Back 19

Acetabulum

Front 20

Sinus

Back 20

(1) Mucous-membrane-lined, air-filled cavity in certain cranial bones; (2) dilated channel for the passage of blood or lymph.

Front 21

Pelvis

Back 21

(1) Basin-shaped bony structure composed of the pelvic girdle, sacrum, and coccyx; (2) funnel-shaped tube within the kidney continuous with the ureter.

Front 22

Mandible

Back 22

Lower jawbone; U shaped, largest bone of the face.

Front 23

Acetabulum

Back 23

Cuplike cavity on lateral surface of the hip bone that receives the femur.

Front 24

scoliosis

Back 24

abnormal lateral spinal curvature that occurs most often in the thoracic region, or "twisted disease"

Front 25

kyphosis

Back 25

dorsally exaggerated thoracic curvature, or "hunch back"

Front 26

lordosis

Back 26

an accentuated lumbar curvature, or swayback

Front 27

temporary lordosis

Back 27

common in those carrying a "large load up front, " such as men with "potbellies" and pregnant women

Front 28

Improper administration of CPR can force the floating ribs into the liver.

Back 28

False

The floating ribs are nowhere near the area where CPR compressions are performed. The xyphoid process of the sternum is more likely to be forced into the liver, instead of the floating ribs, because CPR is performed on the anterior part of the chest and the floating ribs are on the posterior of the trunk.

Front 29

antebrachium.

Back 29

The radius and the ulna form the skeleton of the forearm, also called the antebrachium.

Front 30

os coxae

Back 30

The os coxae is formed by the fusion of three bones: the ilium, ischium, and pubis.

Front 31

anulus fibrosus

Back 31

This disc insulates between vertebrae and serves as shock absorber during movement.

Front 32

linea aspera

Back 32

The linea aspera runs the midline of the posterior femur. It serves as an attachment for many of the thigh muscles.
