4 bone types are

Long, short, flat or regular

Long bones have

Elongated and have expanded ends (femur)

Short bones are

Cube like (wrist bones)

Sesamoid bones

Develop in tendons (patella)

Flat bones are

Plate like witty broad surfaces (scapula)

Irregular bones have

A variety of shapes (vertebrae)

Epiphyses are

Expanded ends off bones that form joints with adjacent bones

Articular cartilage is also known as

Hyaline cartilage

Articular cartilage covers what?

the ends of joints

Diaphysis is

The shaft of the bone

What type of bone makes up the outside of the diaphysis?

Compact and spongy bone

Periosteum covers

The bone and is continuous with ligaments and tendons

Medullary cavity is

Lined with endosteum and filled with marrow

Bone cells are called

Osteocytes

Bone cells are located in

Lacunae that lie in concentric circles around central canals

Canaliculi are

Passageways in the matrix where osteocytes pass nutrients and wastes back and forth

Extracellular material consists of

Collagen and in organic salts

The 2 types of bone are

Compact and spongy bone

What is organized in osteons
blood vessels and nerve fibers
what direction do the central canals extend through?
longitudinally
compact bone is found in
long bones of arms and legs
trabeculae is
thin bony plates
spongy bone is found in
the skull, ribs, vertebrae and sternum

osteoblasts are cells that
deposit bony tissue (cartilage) around themselves
lacunae are

little compartments

The periosteum is
the outer covering of the bone
endochondral bone formation first develops as
hyaline cartilage models that are then replaced by bone
what is cartilage tissue invaded by?

blood vessels and osteoblasts

A band of hyaline cartilage is called


the epiphyseal plate


what do osteoclasts do?

break down calcified matrix

what do osteoblasts do?

deposit bone in place of calcified cartilage

the length of bones increase because of the

epiphyseal plates

the thickness of bones increase because of

intramembranous ossification
What happens to the epiphyseal plate at adult hood?
ossifies
What do bones support?
give shape to head, face thorax and limbs. pelvis and lower limbs provide support for bodies weight
what to bones protect?

the eyes, ears and brain, rib cage and shoulder girdle protect the heart and lungs
how do bones play in movement?


act as levers

blood cells form through
hematopoiesis in the yolk sac

red marrow is found in


spongy bone of the skull, ribs, sternum, clavicles vertebrae and pelvis

red marrow functions to

form red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets

yellow marrow functions to
store fat
the axial skeleton consists of

skull, hyoid bone, vertebral column and thorax

the appendicular skeleton consists of

pectoral girdle, upper limbs, pelvic girdle and lower limbs

what are the 8 cranial bones
frontal, 2 parietal, occipital, 2 temporal, sphenoid and ethmoid
the opening of the ear is called

external acoustic meatus

2 maxillae, 2 palatine, 2 zygomatic, 2 lacrimal, 2 nasal, vomer, 2 inferior nasal conchae and mandible
zygomatic makes up the


cheeks

vomer and ethmoid bones make up the

nasal septum

maxillae and palatine make up the

hard palate

what are fontanels

the soft spot on a babies head

what is the drum shaped part of the vertebrae called that supports the weight of the head

body

what are the 2 lateral processes called?

transverse process and superior and inferior articular processes

what are the functions of the lateral processes
bear cartilage covered facets b which each vertebra is joined to the one above and below it
the name of the dorsal process is

dorsal spinous process

the top 2 vertebrae are the

atlas and axis

how is the cervical vertebrae different from the others

have transverse formina

how many lumbar vertebrae are there

e

coccyx is the

tailbone

the bones in the thoracic cage are the

how many true pairs of ribs are there

7

how many false ribs are there

5
the sternum is made if the

manubrium, body and xiphoid process

the clavicle has a what shape
s shape
the spine divides the

scapula (shoulder blades)
the glenoid cavities articulates with the

humerus

where is the head of the humerus

in the shoulder blades (scapula)
the 2 fossae of the humerus are the

coronoid and olecranon
what are the processes near the head of the humerus

greater and lesser tubercles

where is the radius located

thumb side of the forearm

what is the purpose of the flattened head of the radius

connects with the humerus to allow the radius to rotate

what does the radius contain
