Document Summary

5 lumbar vertebrae: each vertebra has two parts. 3: describe the functions of the patella. Primary function is knee extension; it is a knee bone between the femur (thigh bone) and tibia (shin bone). It also protects the knee joint (protects tendons and soft tissues from scraping on the end of the femur) and maintains the positon of the tendon during knew flexion. Pectoral girdle: clavicle (collar bones), coracoid, and scapula (shoulder blades) also called shoulder girdle. Pectoral muscle: less strength, more mobile and versatile. Protects blood vessels and nerves that travel into the arm. Attachment point for at least 6 muscles and tendons. Acromioclavicular joined the the clavicle: describe the bony arrangements which are involved in the elbow joint. Humeroulnar joint: hinge joint; allows for only flexion and extension movements. Superior radioulnar joint: any position of flexion and extension, radius can be rotated. Movements include pronation and supination: describe the differences between a male pelvis and a female pelvis.
