The hyoid bone is the only bone not attached to another bone.

Study with Me: Anatomy & Physiology Lecture (Exam II - The Skeletal System)

This morning from approximately 0615 - 0700, I studied for my second A&P Lecture exam which encompasses the skeletal system.

One of my favorite study techniques is to use a whiteboard and do active recall! I was able to accomplish quite a bit of active recalling for this section all about bone structures.

Studying can be intimidating, but breaking concepts down into concept maps and piece by piece instead of trying to memorize all the information at once really helps!

~ happy studying! ~

Reblog if you wish you could merely exist as an amorphous mass, with the absence of bones for structural integrity, support, and locomotion.

Beware the snares and pitfalls of life.

here!! for anyone who wants to memorize the skeleton system, a quick chart.

10 October 2023 I spent +4 hours on Quizlet studying the appendicular skeleton and then creating a study set for the axial skeleton. A&P is tons of memorization! I thought I'd have a leg up being interested in the human body since forever... but guess what kind of people take A&P?

Movement of Joints

Hinge -- in one place about a single axis, like the movement of a hinged door

Pivot -- rotation

Ball and Socket -- widest range of all joints

Condyloid (Ellipsoidal) -- in two places at right angles to each other

Saddle -- same kinds of movement as condyloid joints, but freer; resembles rider in saddle

Gliding -- a nonaxial movement

Decoding Your Body: A Closer Look at How Your Body Works

Our bodies are incredibly complex and fascinating machines that are capable of performing a wide range of functions. From the circulatory system that delivers oxygen and nutrients throughout our body, to the respiratory system that helps us breathe, to the nervous system that allows us to move, think, and feel, every part of our body plays a vital role in our overall health and well-being. Here's a closer look at how your body works:

The Circulatory System

The circulatory system is responsible for delivering oxygen and nutrients to every cell in our body. It consists of the heart, blood vessels, and blood. The heart pumps blood through the blood vessels, which transport oxygen and nutrients to the body's tissues and organs, so a massage near me is dominant.

2. The Respiratory System

The respiratory system is responsible for bringing oxygen into our body and removing carbon dioxide. It consists of the lungs, trachea, bronchi, and diaphragm. When we breathe, air enters the lungs and oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide is expelled.

3. The Nervous System

The nervous system is responsible for transmitting signals throughout the body and controlling our movements, thoughts, and emotions. It consists of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. The brain receives and processes sensory information, while the nerves send signals throughout the body to control our movements and reactions.

4. The Digestive System

The digestive system is responsible for breaking down food and extracting nutrients that our body needs to function. It consists of the mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines, and liver. Food is broken down into nutrients and waste, which is eliminated from the body.

5. The Muscular System

The muscular system is responsible for our movement and posture. It consists of the skeletal muscles, which are attached to our bones and help us move. When we contract our muscles, we are able to move our bodies.

6. The Skeletal System

The skeletal system is responsible for supporting our body and protecting our organs. It consists of the bones, cartilage, and ligaments. The bones provide support and protection, while the cartilage and ligaments connect the bones and allow for movement.

In conclusion, our body is a complex and intricate system that requires care and attention in order to function at its best. By understanding how our body works, we can make informed decisions about our health and well-being, and take steps to ensure that we are giving our body the support it needs to thrive. So take care of your body, and it will take care of you!

How old is your bone marrow?

Our bone marrow—the fatty, jelly-like substance inside our bones—is an unseen powerhouse quietly producing 500 billion new blood cells every day. That process is driven by hematopoietic stem cells that generate all of the various types of blood cells in our bodies and regenerating themselves to keep the entire assembly line of blood production operating smoothly. As with any complex system,…
