Human

Skull

DEFINITION 7 protects and houses the brain and has openings needed for our sensory organs such as the eyes nose and ears also forms the mouth which is commone passageway fibrous connective tissue allows for some flexibility of the bones surrounding the brain TERM 8

The Thorax

DEFINITION 8 bones of chest form the thoracic cage providing support and protection for the heart lungs and great blood vessels cage is flexible due to cartilaginous connections that allow movement during breathing sternum is location for conduction chest compressions during CPR Parts oF STERNUM manubrium top superior body largest central portion xiphoid process final inferior TERM 9

Ribs

DEFINITION 9 true ribs pairs 1-7 called VERTEBROSTERNAL because they connect anteriourly to the sternum andposteriorly to the thoracic vertebrae false ribs pairs 8-10 VETEBROCONSTAL because they connect to the costal cartilage of the superior rib and thoracic vertebrae Floating ribs pairs 11 -12 no anterior attachment Ribs are attached by cartilage to allow for thier movement when we breathe TERM 10

Spinal Column

DEFINITION 10 spinal or vertebral column protects the spinal cord the superhighway for information traveling to and from the central nervous systemindividual bones or vertebrae are numbered and classified according to the body region in which they are located 7 cervical vertebrae 12 thoracic 5 lumbar 5 sacral (mid buttocks) 3 to 5 coccygeal
