| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The skull bones and ribs and bones of the pelvis are types of bones classified by shape as: | flat bones |
| Epiphyses at the ends and a diaphysis in the middle decribes: | long bones |
| All the bones of the head, vertebral column, and the ribcage are considered together as the: | axial skeleton |
| Two examples of short bones in the body are the blocklike bones of the wrists called carpals, and the bones of the ankles known as: | tarsals |
| The two ends of a long bone are known as: | epiphyses |
| Wherever it lacks a cartilage cover, the long bone is covered with a connective tissue membrane known as the: | periosteum |
| The marrow cavity in long bones is filled with: | yellow bone marrow |
| Bone formation takes place by a process called: | ossification |
| Before puberty, the long bone lengthens at a zone of cartilage beyond the ossification center called the: | epiphyseal plate |
| Bone is remodeled and dissolved by substances secreted by bone-resorbing cells referred to as: | osteoclasts |
| An example of a synarthrosis occurring in the skull is a: | suture |
| Movement at a joint in which the angle between two bones is reduced is known as | flexion |
| When a body part is moved away from the midline of the body, the movement is referred to as: | abduction |
| When a body part moves toward the midline, the movement is: | adduction |
| Twisting the head from side to side, such as when gesturing "no," is the joint movement: | rotation |
| Turning the hand so that the palm is forward demonstrates the movement: | supination |
| While flexion refers to the bending of a joint, the stretching out a joint is: | extension |
| Moving a body part backward, such as pulling the chin, is a movement called: | retraction |
| Moving a body part forward, such as thrusting the chin outward, is: | protraction |
