Lab RepoRt assistant
This document is not meant to be a substitute for a formal laboratory report. The Lab Report Assistant is simply a summary of the experiment’s questions, diagrams if needed, and data tables that should be addressed in a formal lab report. The intent is to facilitate students’ writing of lab reports by providing this information in an editable file which can be sent to an instructor.
Purpose:
What is the purpose of this exercise?
The learn about the different joints our bodies consist of and how those joints help our bodies function and move.
Are there any safety concerns associated with this exercise? If so, list what they are and what precautions should be taken.
No
exeRcise 1: Questions
As you observe the skull, explain how the structure of the sutures between the cranial bones is related to the overall function of the cranium.
The sutures help hold the cranial bones in one piece, because they are almost interlocking the bones are able to snap together and make what almost seems like a solid piece of bone.
Why are synarthroses an important component of fibrous joints?
Synarthroses joints are used for functionality and are immovable which works perfect for fibrous joints which in most cases do not want or need to be moved.
exeRcise 2: Questions
Cartilaginous joints exhibit amphiarthroses. Why is this important?
Amphiarthroses joints are slightly moveable which works perfectly with cartilaginous joints because where cartilaginous joints are located, such as the top 5 ribs, need to be somewhat flexible.
Structurally, how are cartilaginous joints similar?
They are all slightly moveable and a piece of cartilage connects the bone ends,
exeRcise 3: Questions
Which type of synovial joint has the least amount of movement?
The gliding joint such as the joints between the carpals and tarsals.
