Proximal
Away from the middle of the body (midline)
Distal
Longer than they are wide; have two epiphyses, one diaphysis, slightly curved for strength as levers
Long bones
Most of the bones (type) of the upper and lower extremities
Long bones
Nearly equal in length and width, mostly spongy bone, thing outer layer of compact bone, somewhat cube shaped, transfer forces in confined spaces,
Short bones
Carpals and Tarsals are this type of bones
Short Bones
Thin and broad, Two more or less parallel plates of compact bone are enclosing a layer of spongy bone. Ex. skull, ribs, scapula
Flat bones
Have complex, varied shapes, many surface markings for muscle attachment. Ex. vertebrae, sphenoid and ethmoid, and certain facial bones
Irregular bones
Contains medullary cavity with yellow marrow
Diaphysis (shaft)
Contains spongy bone with red marrow
Epiphysis (proximal and distal)
Epiphysis line/plate
Nutrient foramen and artery
Articular cartilage
Periosteum- inner osteogenic layer and outer osteogenic layer
Compact bone
Spongy bone
Parts of a long bone
Consists of the bones related to the axis of the body that protect and support the head, neck, and trunk: skull, vertebrae, ribs, sternum
Axial skeleton
Consists of the bones of the thoracic and pelvic extremities and the girdles that anchor them; scapula, clavicle, humerus, radius, ulna, carpal bones, metcarpal bones, phalanges, sesamoid bones, ox coxae (illium, ischium, pubis) bony pelvis- pelvic girdle and sacrum, femur, fabella, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsal bones, metatarsal bones, phalanges, sesamoids
Appendicular skeleton
Os penis, Os cordis
Visceral skeleton
immovable articulations in which bones are held together by fibrous connective tissue
Synarthroses
found in the flat bones of skulls (articulation)
sutures
spike of a bone fits into a socket (teeth set within the alveoli) (articulation)
gomphoses
the bones are held together by hyaline cartilage (articulation) (Epiphysis of long bone)
synchondroses
slightly movable joints in which bones are united by cartilage
aphiarthroses
bones joined with fibrous interosseus ligaments
syndesmoses
fibrocartilage discs between bones (symphysis pubis)
symphyses
freely movable joints
Diarthroses
convex surface of one bone articulates with concave surface of the other (knee, elbow)
hinge
conical portion of one bone articulates with a depression of another (atlas/axis, radius/ulna)
pivot
flattened or slightly curve articulating surfaces (Intercarpal, intertarsal sliding)
gliding
oval condyle of one bone articulates with elliptical cavity of another (radius, carpals)
elipsoid
concave/and convex/ shaped surfaces of each articulating bone (carpal/metacarpals)
saddle
rounded, convex head of one bone articulates with the socket of another (hip, shoulder)
ball-and-socket
increase or decrease the joint angle produced by articulating bones
angular
movement that decreases the joint angle
flexion
movement that increases the joint angle
extension
movement away from the midline of the body
abduction
movement toward the midline of the body
adduction
one bone with an oval or rounded surface articulates with a bone with a corresponding cup or depression permitting circular movement
circular
movement of a bone around its own axis
rotation
palms are upward
supination
palms are downward
pronation
There are nine palmar -------- ------ and 4 nodular dorsal ------- --------
sesamoid bones
simple connective tissue sacs containing a viscous fluid and serving to reduce friction, usually located between a tendon, ligament, or muscle and a bony prominence
bursae
located around tendon passing through grooves of bone
synovial sheath
double layered elongated sheaths containing synovia that wrap tendons as the pass osseuos or fibrous grooves
synovial sheath
