The Axial & Appendicular Skeleton
Purpose: What is the purpose of this exercise? Is there any safety concerns associated with this exercise? If so, list what they are and what precautions should be taken. To identify 3 main bone groups and describe different vertebra
Exercise 1: The Skull
QUESTIONS:
A. Name the eight bones of the cranium. frontal bone, 2 parietal bones, 2 temporal bones, occipital bone, sphenoid, ethmoid.
B. What function do the cranial bones serve?
To protect the sense organs and the brain
C. List the bones that form the eye orbit.
Zygomatic, maxilla, lacrimal, frontal bone, spenoid, ethmoid, and palatine
D. Examine your skull model and describe some ways in which the mandible is different from the other bones of the skull.
The shape of the bone is different. It is the only bone that is attached to a joint and therefore movable. It is not really attached to skull at all.
E. Besides the skull, what are the other two components of the axial skeleton?
Vertebral Column and Thoracic Cage
Exercise 2: Skull Markings
QUESTIONS:
A. Of the markings you palpated on yourself, which one was easiest to find? Propose a reason why.
Mandibular angle
B. What bone are you palpating when you touch your temple? Temporal Bone
Exercise 3: The Vertebral Column
QUESTIONS:
A. What are the five categories of vertebrae in your vertebral column?
Cervical, Thoracic, Lumbar, Sacral, and Coccyx
B. Why are lumbar vertebrae particularly prone to injury?
They often take the stress of lifting and moving that is accomplished by our arms
C. What is an intervertebral disc? What is its function?
They are fibrocartilage discs that are designed to cushion the vertebrae and serve as shock absorbers for the column.
D. How are the Sacrum and Coccyx different from the other vertebrae?
They consist of multiple bones (vertebrae) fused together
