large rounded projection; may be roughened (large)

Back 1

tuberosity

Front 2

Narrow ridge of bone; usually prominent

Back 2

Crest

Front 3

very large, blunt, irregularly shaped process

Back 3

trochanter

Front 4

Narrow ridge of bone; less prominent than a crest

Back 4

Line

Front 5

Small rounded projection or process

Back 5

Tubercle

Front 6

Raised area on or above a condyle

Back 6

epicondyle

Front 7

sharp, slender often pointy projection

Back 7

spine

Front 8

any bony prominence

Back 8

process

Front 9

Smooth, nearly flat articular surface

Back 9

facet

Front 10

shallow basinlike depression in a bone often serving as an articulate surface

Back 10

fossa

Front 11

round or oval opening through a bone

Back 11

foramen

Front 12

apendicular skelleton

Back 12

is made up of 126 bones consisting of the upper and lower limbs including the pectoral bones and he pelvic girdle.

Front 13

axial skelleton

Back 13

consists of 80 bones of three major regions the skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage.

Front 14

Fontanels

Back 14

"Soft spots"- these are spaces where two cranial bones have not yet fused together in the infant.

Front 15

What intersting fact are we responsible for in terms of the: Sphenoid bone?

Back 15

because of its thin walls, it is the MOST OFTEN FRACTURED Cranial bone.

Front 16

What intersting fact are we responsible for in terms of the: Mandible?

Back 16

it is the largest and strongest facial bone.

Front 17

What intersting fact are we responsible for in terms of the: Hyphoid bone?

Back 17

it is the only bone that does not articulate with another bone.

Front 18

In forensics, what does a broken hyoid bone imply?

Back 18

The victim was choked.

Front 19

How can we tell the difference between the three types of vertebrae?

Back 19

Cervical- have three holes one for the spine and the other two for the tansverse foramina.

Thoracic- have the facets for the ribs

Lumbar- a little thicker and dont have either facets or the three holes.

Front 20

What passes through the transverse foramen?

Back 20

the spine

Front 21

Spinal nerves pass through the

Back 21

INTERVERTEBRAL foramen

Front 22

What characteristic of the spine helps make it shock absorbant?

Back 22

the four curves.

cervical- lordotic
thoracic- kyphosis
lumbar- lordotic
pelvic- kyphosis

Front 23

When children are born they only have one class of curve in their spine. What is it?

Back 23

the kyphotic ones (thoracic and lumbar)

Front 24

What is scoliosis?

Back 24

When there is a curve in the spine (not in the sagital view like kyphotic and lordotic curves but) in the frontal axis.

Front 25

What intersting fact are we responsible for in terms of the: clavicle?

Back 25

the most often broken bone.

Front 26

The hands have how many bones phlanges?

Back 26

27 bones in each hand

14 phlanges. (thumb only has 2)

Front 27

How many bones in the foot?

What accounts for the difference in bones between the hands and feet?

Back 27

26 bones

One less tarsel than carpel (8 vs 7)

Front 28

In terms of forensics, what properties are found with the pelvis?

Back 28

Robusticity- the male pelvis is bigger and stronger.

Hip width- women have wider hip bones than men.

Pubic arch- when looked at from above women have a perfectly circular pelvis while men look like "mickey mouse"

Front 29

What intersting fact are we responsible for in terms of the: Femus?

Back 29

It is the longest and strongest bone in the body.
