Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line

How is the arm held clear of the widest dimension of the thoracic cage?

The humerus is a (right/left) bone in (an anterior/a posterior) view.

back 31

right; Posterior

front 32

The radius and ulna are (right/left) bones in (an anterior/a posterior) view.

back 32

left; Anterior

front 33

Pectoral

back 33

flexibility most important; lightweight; insecure axaial and limb attachments

front 34

Pelvic

back 34

massive; secure axail and limb attachments; weight-bearing most important

front 35

What organs are protected, at least in part, by the pelvic girdle?

back 35

Uterus, bladdar, rectum, small intestine, and reproductive organs

front 36

What is the difference between the true pelvis and the false pelvis?

back 36

The true pelvis is small bowl-like shape containing the unrinary bladder and sexual organs. The false pelvis is the area been the alla or wings of the pelvis. This is a much larger area and contains some of the abdominal organs like part of the small intestine and part of the colon.

front 37

This is a (female/male) pelvis because?

back 37

Female; It is adapted for childbearing, defines birth canal, Farther apart then a males, the sacrum is wider, shorter and less curved then a males. The pelvic inlet (brim) is wider; oval from side to side.

front 38

Deduce why the pelvis bones of a four-legged animal such as a cat or pig are less massive than those of the human.

back 38

The pelvic bones of a two-legged animal such as a human have to carry his whole weight, divided by two. A four-legged animal such as a pig divides its weight over four legs, so each leg and each pelvic bone has to bear only a fourth of the animal's weight. As the strain on the bones is a half than in the two-legged case, the bones can be less massive.

front 39

A person instinctively curls over his abdominal area in times of danger. Why?

back 39

To prevent a smaller target and also to protect the internal organs and genitalia.

front 40

For what anatomical reason do many women appear to be slightly knock-kneed?

back 40

Biologically, women have wider pelvises than men. The angle of their hips turn the legs slightly inward, making some to actually touch at the knees.

front 41

How might this anatomical arrangement contribute to knee injuries in female athletes?

back 41

they can be more prone to knee related injuries, such as ACL tears due to high intensity straight knee landing or impact since the knee is already in a weak position.

front 42

What does fallen arches mean?

back 42

It mean flat feet or flat footed
