- osteoblast activity inc when exercising (heavy resistance)

= bones will become more dense + stronger

- reduces osteoporosis



What is an osteoclast? - CORRECT ANSWER - unnecessary Ca+ is removed from certain parts of bone

- dissolve bone

= while new layers of bone tissue are created

- come from bone marrow



Long bone - CORRECT ANSWER - Enables large ROM such as a bowl swing in cricket using the humerus
long bone

- Found in limbs + muscular attachment

- e.g. femur & phalanges



Short bone - CORRECT ANSWER - Shock absorption

- weight bearing +

- Small, light & strong at joints

- e.g. tarsals when running

(Wide + short = short bone) (wide + long = long bone)



Flat bone - CORRECT ANSWER - E.g Sternum

- larger SA = Attachment for muscles

- protection (e.g. vital organs)

- Thinner

,Irregular bones - CORRECT ANSWER - Complex shape E.g vertebrae protects Spinal Column

- provides mechanical support

- support of muscle attachment e.g. erector spinae attaching to sacrum

- other e.g. = patella



Sesamoid bones - CORRECT ANSWER - Usually found in a tendon or muscle = protection

- provide smooth surface for tendons to slide over

= inc movement at joint

- E.g Patella + phalanges



List the type of joints used at the elbow and wrist + articulating bones + movement produced - CORRECT
ANSWER - Elbow -> Hinge -> Humerus + Radius + ulna -> flexion + extension

- Wrist -> Gliding -> Humerus, radius, carpals (ulna not a part of wrist) -> flexion, extension, adduction,
abduction

What is the function of the thoracic section of the spinal column? - CORRECT ANSWER Allows the
attachment of the ribs



What is the function of the lumbar section of the spinal column? - CORRECT ANSWER - Largest and
strongest

- allow for lateral movement + muscle attachment



What is the function of the sacrum section of the spinal column? (aka sacral vertebrae) - CORRECT
ANSWER - FUSED allowing the support of upper body weight
