the skeletal system is composed of how many bones which forms the framework of the human body
206
the adult human skeleton is divided into the _______ skeleton and the ______ skeleton
axial and appendicular
all the bones that lie on or near the central axis of the body
axial (80 bones)
name some axial bones
skull, vertebral column, ribs, and sternum
all the bones of the upper and lower limbs (extremities), shoulder and pelvic girdle (126 bones)
appendicular
name some appendicular bones
radius, ulna, clavicle femur, tib-fib,
what do long bones consist of
a body, and two ends or extremities
the hard or dense bone tissue is known as
compact bone or cortex (meaning external layer)
thick layer of compact bone found at the end, helps resist stress of the weight placed on them
body or shaft
inside the shell of compact bone especially at the end of each long bone
spongy or cancellous bone
the hallow portion of long bone is called
medullary cavity
meaning glassy or clear
hyaline
covers bone except at articulating surfaces, essential for bone growth, repair, and nutrition
periosteum
blood vessel that passes into the bone from the periosteum
nutrient artery
roughly cuboidal and are found only in the wrist or ankles, the 8 carpal bone of the wrist and 8 tarsal bones of the ankle
short bones
consist of two plates of compact bone with cancellous bone and marrow between examples skull cap sternum ribs scapulea
flat bones
bones that have peculiar shape examples vertebrae facial bones bones of the base of the cranium bones of the pelvis
irregular bones
process by which bones form within the body
ossification
occurs rapidly and take place in bones that are needed for protection such as sutures of the flat bone of the skull cap
intramembranous ossification
much slower than intramembranous ossification occurs on most parts of skeleton like the long bones
endochondral ossification
first center of ossification occurs in the midbody area
primary center
the primary center of ossified growing bones, becomes the body in fully developed bones this bone growth is called
diaphysis
appears near the ends of the limbs of long bones
secondary centers
each secondary center of ossification is called an
epiphysis
found between the metaphysis and each epiphysis until skeletal growth is complete
epiphyseal plates
wider portion of long bone adjacent to the epiphyseal plate also where bone growth in length occurs
metaphysis
immovable joint
synarthrosis
joint with limited movement
amphiarthrosis
freely movable joint
diarthrosis
plane joint
gliding (sliding or glinding motion) ex. joints in hand and wrist,
ginglymus joint
hinge (permit flexion and extension)
trochoid joint
pivot (rotational movement around single axis)
ellipsoid joint
condylar (primarily four directional movements, flexion and extension and abduction and addiction)
sellar joint
saddle (end of the bones are shaped concave-convex and are positioned opposite each other
spheroidal joint
ball and socket (allows greatest freedom of motion)
bicondylar joints
movement in single direction
displacement from joint
dislocation
partial dislocation
subluxation
rupture or testing of connective tissue
sprain
a broken bone
fracture
break that does not produce an open wound in the skin
simple or closed fx
bone is broken, external wound leafs down to site of fracture, fragments of bone protrude out of skin
compound or open
bone is broken or splintered into pieces
comminuted
bone is broken and one edge is wedged into the interior of another
impacted
line of fracture does not include whole bone
incomplete
bone is partially bent and partially broken, occurs in children especially those work rickets
green stick fracture
fracture of lower end of the radius in which the lower fragment is displaced posteriorly
Collie's
fracture of the distal end of 5th metacarpal
boxer's fracture
separation of epiphysis from bones
epiphyseal
partial dislocation of the radial head of a child
nursemaid (jerked elbow)
fracture of the distal phalanx is caused by a ball stricking the end of a finger
baseball fracture
