Ahoy, young explorer! ๐ Let's embark on a fun-filled journey through the fantastic world of our bones and muscles! Hold onto your hats, here we go!
Bony Scavenger Hunt
Skeleton Assembly
Pelvic Girdle Rockstars: Ilium, Ischium, and Pubis. Think of them as the bony belt holding your legs!
Longest Bone Award: Femur! Your trusty thigh bone.
Why Skeletons Aren't Just For Halloween
Vertebral Column’s Roles
(Imagine it as the backbone of your dance moves!)
Types of Bones: Long, short, flat, irregular.
Bone Type Match-Up
Axial Vs. Appendicular
Hard as a Rock – Compact Bone: Found in the outer layer of all bones.
Swiss Cheese – Cancellous Bone: Found in the ends of long bones and the insides of other bones.
Long Bone Anatomy
Medullary Cavity Treasure: Yellow bone marrow (fat storage) and red bone marrow (blood cell factory).
Joint Stability Influencers
Elbow's Identity: Hinge joint (think of a door hinge!)
Articular Cartilage: Found at the ends of bones. It's like a cushion to prevent bones from rubbing!
Synovial Fluid: Found inside the synovial joint. It’s the body's natural joint oil to keep things smooth.
Bursae: Found between bones and soft tissues. They're little fluid-filled pillows to prevent friction.
Tendon: Connects muscle to bone.
Ligament: Connects bone to bone.
Shoulder’s A-Team: Deltoid, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres major and minor.
Hip’s Heroes: Gluteus maximus, medius, minimus, iliopsoas.
Longest Muscle Trophy: Sartorius! It runs from your hip to your knee.
Rower’s Pride: Latissimus dorsi.
Muscle Match-Up
Muscle’s Magic Properties
Fascinating Fascia
Muscle's Stripes: From the repeated pattern of muscle fibers (sarcomeres)!
Calf Crew: Gastrocnemius (most superficial) and Soleus.
Quadriceps Quartet: Four muscles - Rectus femoris, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius, and vastus lateralis.
Hamstrings Trio: Three muscles - Biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus.
Remember, knowledge is power and your body is an incredible machine! Stay curious and keep exploring! ๐ก๐๐๐
