Skeletal Structure of the Cat

Purpose/Role of Parts of the Skeleton �Skull (cranium)=provides protection for the brain �Cervical vertebrae=top

Purpose/Role of Parts of the Skeleton �Skull (cranium)=provides protection for the brain �Cervical vertebrae=top 7 vertebrae of the spine and form the neck, which supports the skull �Thoracic vertebrae=each of the 12 bones of the backbone to which the ribs are attached �Lumbar vertebrae=5 vertebrae in the lower back �Coccygeal vertebrae=3 -5 segments of the vertebral column that make up the tail bones �Femur=uppermost bone of the rear leg of the cat

Purpose/Role of Parts of the Skeleton �Fibula=one of 2 bones of the lower rear

Purpose/Role of Parts of the Skeleton �Fibula=one of 2 bones of the lower rear leg of a cat �Tibia=one of 2 bones of the lower rear leg of a cat �Tarsals=any one of the 7 bones that make up the back part of the foot �Pelvis=bony structure near the base of the spine to which the hind limbs or legs are attached �Ribs=bones in the thoracic cage that protect the internal organs �Sternum=bones forming the underside of the thoracic cage that protect the internal organs

YOUR TURN!!! �Research the purpose/role of the following skeletal parts of the cat in small groups of 2 -3 students! You have 8 minutes! Go! �Patella Radius �Ulna Elbow �Metatarsals Humerus �Carpals Scapula �Metacarpals Clavicle �Phalanges Mandible �Digits

Purpose/Role of Parts of the Skeleton �Patella=“kneecaps” �Ulna=one of 2 bones of the lower

Purpose/Role of Parts of the Skeleton �Patella=“kneecaps” �Ulna=one of 2 bones of the lower foreleg of a cat �Metatarsals=paw bone between the heel and the phalanges �Carpals=what would be the wrist bone on a human, allows movement between the foot/leg �Metacarpals=any of the 5 bones in the hand �Phalanges=toe bone �Digits=a finger or toe

Purpose/Role of the Parts of the Skeleton �Radius=one of 2 bones of the lower

Purpose/Role of the Parts of the Skeleton �Radius=one of 2 bones of the lower foreleg of a cat �“Elbow”=allows movement between the lower and upper portion of the limbs �Humerus=bone of the upper foreleg of a cat �Scapula=shoulder bone �Clavicle=technical term for collarbone �Mandible=lower jaw
