osteo
bone
greenstick fracture
a fracture in a young, soft bone in which the bone bends and partially breaks. A person's bones become harder (calcified) and more brittle with age. Greenstick fractures usually occur most often during infancy and childhood when one's bones are soft
osteo
bone
collagen
strong, insoluble protein fiber common in connective tissues

yellow marrow
(medullary cavity) inside shaft of bone, storage area for adipose (fat) tissue
collagen
strong, insoluble protein fiber common in connective tissues
cartilage tissue
flexible connective tissue found in many areas in the bodies of humans and other animals, including the joints between bones, the rib cage, the ear, the nose, the elbow, the knee, the ankle, the bronchial tubes and the intervertebral discs. It is not as hard and rigid as bone but is stiffer and less flexible than muscle.

osteoclasts
type of bone cell that removes bone tissue by removing its mineralized matrix and breaking up the organic bone. This process is known as bone resorption. : osteoclasts resorb bone.
osteoblast
bone forming cells
connective tissue
a primary tissue, form and function vary, functions include support, storage, and protection
thyroid cartilage
the largest of the nine cartilages that make up the laryngeal skeleton, the cartilage structure in and around the trachea that contains the larynx
cricoid cartilage
only complete ring of cartilage around the trachea
fossa
depression, often an articular surface
foreamen
the distal portion of the upper limb between the elboy and wrist
lacuna
a little depression or space. in bone or cartilage occupied by cells
epiphysis
end of a long bone
diaphysis
elongated shaft of a long bone
open fracture
broken bone that penetrates the skin
closed fracture
a broken bone that does not penetrate the skin

lumbar vertebrae features
sturdiest of vertebral column. most stress here. short, hatchet shaped
temporal bone
(2) lie inferior to parietal bones, join at squamous sutures.
occipital bone
most posterior bone of the skul. joins the parietal anteriorly at lambdoid suture.
frontal bone
forms forehead
red marrow
the flexible tissue found in the hollow interior of bones. at birth all marrow is red.
yellow marrow
storage area for adipose tissue
nasal cavity is separated from oral cavity by
by the palatine processes of maxilla and the palatine bone(hard palate).
acromegaly
condition caused by overproduction of growth hormone in adults, characterized by a thickening of bones and an enlargement of cartilages and other soft tissues
what type of bone is in the patella?
sesamoid bone sesamoid bone is a bone embedded within a tendon. Sesamoid bones are found in locations where a tendon passes over a joint
compact bone
dense bone that contains parallel bones. smooth and homogeneous.
spongy bone
composed of smal neddlelike pieces of bone and lots of open space.
the canal that runs thru the core of each osteon/bone
Haversian canal containing small blood vessels and nerve fibers that serve the needs of the osteon's cells
purpose of canaliculi
microscopic passageways between cells , permit diffusion of nutrients and wastes to and from osteocytes. help heal
what is the fossa in a bone?
depression
long bones
longer than they are wide. have a shaft with heads at both ends. mostly compact bone. all bone of limbs except wrist and ankles.
spongy bone
small needle like pieces of bone and lots of open space.
short bones
cube shaped and mostly spongy. wrist, ankle
flat bones
thin, flattened, usually curved. skul, bibs, sternum
irregular bones
vertebrae, hip
