depression
lowering a part
elevation
raising a part
protraction
moving a part forward
retraction
moving a part backwards
inversion
turning hte foot so that the plantar surfaces faces medially
eversion
turning the foot so that the plantar surface faces laterally
supination
turning the hand so that the plam is facing upward OR the palm is facing anteriorly while standing in anaotmical position
pronation
turning the hand so that the palm is facing downward OR facing posteriorly while standing in anatomical position
circumduction
moving a part so that its end follows a cirucalr path
rotation
moving a part around its axis
adduction
moving a part towards the midline
abduction
moving a part away from the midline
hyperextenison
extension of the parts of a joint beyond the the anatomical psotion resulting in injury
plantar flexion
movement of theankle that brings the foot closer to the chin
dorsiflexion
movement of the ankle that brings the foot closer to the shin
extension
straightening of a joint so tht the angle betweent he two parts increases
flexion
bedning the body parts so that the angle between the two parts decreases
osteoblasts
bone forming cells that build bone throughout adult life- they take excesses of calcium and phosphorus and vit. D and make bone matrix thus reducing blood levels of calcium, vit. D and phosphorus back into a normal homeostatic range.
osteoclasts
large multinuclated cells that break down the calcified matirx of bone matrix when the calcium , vit. D and phosphorus levels decreases- thus releasing those components into the blood thus raising blood levels of calcium, vit. D and phosphours back to the normal homeostatic ranges when dietary levels are too low.
epiphyseal plate( disc)-
a band of cartilage cells from betweent the ephyphysis and the diaphysis that undergoes mitosis and lengthens the bone
osteocytes
bone cells
endochondral bones
bones of the fetus that form from masses of hyaline cartilage
intramembraneous bones
membraneous layers of caritalge form into flat bone sof the skull in embryonic development
marrow
a specialized type of connective tissue in the center of bones that is highly vascualr and makes or produces blood cells
medullary cavity
a hollow chamber found in long bones that contains bone marrow
Long bones
examples are the femur and the radius and ulna
flat bones
examples are the skull bones, ribs, sternum and ilium
irregular bones
examples are vertebrae
short bones
bones of the wrist and ankles ( they look cubodial)
sesamoid bones
examples are the kneecap
epiphysis
expanded ends of the bone
articular cartilage
articulating cartilage covers the ends of the bone that protects and cushions the bones at the joint
diaphysis
the shaft of a bone
periosteum
a tough vascular covering of fibrous membraneous tisseu that covers the outside of a bone; it helps protect, nourish and repair the bone if damaged
compact bone
tough type of bone tissue that makes up the outer wall of the diaphysis and has a continous extracellullr matrix with no spaces- making it strong
spongy bone
a type of cancellous bone tissue that makes up the ends of the bone a the epiphysis that are made of branching honeycomb shaped projections called trabeculae.. and it helps reduc the weight of the bone in these areas.
