Name the 4 types of bones
|
long
short flat irregular |
|
femur & bones of the fingers (phalanges); are much longer than they are wide, generally consisting of a shaft with heads at either end, composed predominately of compact bone
|
long bones
|
|
typically cubed shaped & they contain more spongy bone than compact bone; tarsals & carpals
|
short bones
|
|
generally thin with 2 waferlike layers of compact bone sandwiching a layer of spongy bone between them; many are curved, such as the bones of the skull
|
flat bones
|
|
bones that do not fall into one of the 3 categories are classified here; verebrae
|
irregular
|
|
enlongated shaft of a long bone

diaphysis
|
|
the end of a long bone, attached to the shaft

endosteum (location)
|
|
forms the long axis of the body & includes the bones of the skull, vertebral column & rib cage; bones mostly involved in protecting, supporting or carrying other body parts
|
axial skeleton
|
|
consists of the bones of the upper & lower limbs & the girdles (should bones & hip bones) that attach the limbs to the axial skeleton; locomotion (limbs help us to get from place to place) & to manipulate our environment

indentations between the bones of the fetal skull
|
fontanel
|
|
round or oval opening through a bone; on the cheek area under the eye
|
foramen
|
|
shallow, basin like depression in a bone, often serving as an articular surface; side of head behind ear where it curves inward-
|
fossa
|
|
cavity/depression on bone, small circle;
|
fovea
|
|
bony expansion carried on a narrow neck
|
head
|
|
canal like passageway; under the ear
