Skeletal and muscular systems Module 2- Principles of Biomechanics
Skeleton • Axial Skeleton • Skull, vertebral column, ribs, sternum • Appendicular Skeleton • Shoulder girdle, arms, hips, legs
Spine • 7 Cervical Vertebrae • 12 Thoracic Vertebrae • 5 Lumbar Vertebrae • 5 Sacral Vertebrae
Joints • Types • Fibrous- little or no movement • Cartilaginous- limited movement • Synovial- considerable movement • Uniaxial- movement in one plane • Biaxial- movement in two planes • Multiaxial- movement in all planes
Muscles • Two Attachment Sites • Origin • the proximal end (toward center of body) • Insertion • The distal end (away from center of body)
