The document provides an overview of anatomical terms, bone classifications, the skeletal system, joints, and the muscular system. It defines superficial, deep, proximal, and distal positions. It describes the five major types of bones - long bones, short bones, flat bones, irregular bones. It outlines the 206 bones in the average human skeleton and their main functions of support, protection, movement, storage, and blood production. It also summarizes the axial and appendicular skeleton, three types of muscle, and muscle contractions.

ANATOMICAL TERMS Bone Classifications
Superficial Direction –close to the surface LONG BONES of the body – consist of long shaft covered by hard Deep position –any feature that is further bone around a hollow center that away from the body. contains yellow marrow. Ribs superficial, Heart is deep – these bones are light but very strong. Proximal Position– limbs – major weight bearing bones. “closer” where limbs are attached. 2 ends: Spongy bone and red marrow. Distal Positions -further from the point of attachment – SHORT BONES fingers are distal to the shoulders –chunky, compact bones that are strong Superior –a position towards the head. Inferior –a position away from the head. and reinforce by thickening of the bone tissue. SKELETAL SYSTEM OVERVIEW –contains spongy bone and allow a a new born baby has 305 bones variety movements at joints. 25 years old, some bones fused together to obtain maximum strength. FLAT BONES Average human skeleton 206 bones –made up of 2 strong slayers of compact All bones are living organs Coll (living) Minerals (non-living) bone, joined by layer of spongy bone. Largest Bones –gives protection to organs beneath -Femur –allow for large areas of muscle - Humerus attachment. Smalles Bones - Middle Ear (Maleus, Incus, Stapes) IRREGULAR BONES 5 MAJOR FUNCTION OF BONES –thin layer of compact bone containing 1. Support – for tendons and ligaments a mass of spongy bone. Vertebra and framework for body shape. –reinforced, extra strength is needed. 2. Protection –Cranium protects brain Ribs and Sternum protect internal 2 MAIN PARTS: DIVISION organs e.g heart and lungs. 1. Axial Skeleton – aligned along the axis 3. Movement –bones work w/ muscle to of the body. produce work. –skull, vertebral column -muscles are attached to the skeleton.

Blood Production – Ribs, Vertebrae, (arms, forearms, hands) Humerus, Femur contains red bone –pectoral (shoulder) girdle marrow –makes RW cells & platelets. –pelvic (hip) PE 31 –lower extremeties 3. Cardiac Muscle –make up the walls in (thigh, knee, leg, foot) the heart. Involuntary control. JOINTS – occurs 2 or more bones. –essential for movement, as muscles need to pass over them for contraction to occur. MUSCLE CONTRACTIONS –held by ligaments– thick cord stringy tissue Isotonic – most common MAIN TYPES –muscle length changes as tension 1. Fibrous – immovable is developed. 2. Cartilaginous – partially movable Ex. When a shot-putter pick up the shot- 3. Synovial – freely movable put and raises it to his/her neck. Isometric – muscle contraction but do MUSCULAR SYSTEM OVERVIEW not produce any movement. over 600 muscles in the body Ex. If you were to hold out your arm, from hairs in your arms up to legs palm up and a weight is placed in w/o it, hearts wouldn’t beat, we couldn’t your hand. Your arm muscles would breathe, digest food, walk, talk, or develop tension but not change a reproduce. length.

Posture –make continuous changes to – the harder you push or pull, our posture allowing for the the greater the resistance constant offered by the machine. pull (gravity) placed on our body. 3. Body Heat –the energy muscles require to contract produces movement and

TYPES OF MUSCLES 1. Skeletal Muscle – muscles attached to
our bone under voluntary control.
2. Smooth Muscle – found internally in blood vessels and the walls of intestine and stomach under involuntary control.
