Rounded depression, or socket, in the pelvis, which joins the femur, forming the hip joint

Outward extension of the shoulder bone forming the point of the shoulder. It overrides the shoulder joint and articulates with clavicle

Thin layer of cartilage occurring at the ends of long bones and covering any part of any bone that comes together with another bone to form a joint

Dense, hard connective tissue composing the skeleton. Examples are long bones (femur), short bones (carpals), flat bones (scapula) and sesamoid bones (patella)

One of the mineral constituents of bone. Calcium phosphate is the major calcium salt in bones

Spongy, porous, trabecular bone

Flexible, rubbery connective tissue. Found in immature skeleton at the epiphyseal growth plate and on joint surfaces

Dense connective tissue strands found in bone

knuckle-like process at the end of the bone near the joint

Shaft, or midportion, of a long bone

Flat, round, plate-like structure. An intervertebral disk is a fibrocartilaginous substance between two vertebrae

Cartilaginous area at the ends of long bones where lengthwise growth takes place in the immature skeleton

Each end of a long bone; the area beyond the epiphyseal plate

Bones of the face: lacrimal, mandible, maxillae, nasal, vomer and zygomatic

Narrow, slit-like opening in or between bones

Soft spot (incomplete bone formation) between the skull bones of an infant

Opening or passage in bones where blood bessels, nerves, or both enter and leave.

Minute spaces filled with blood vessels; found in compact bone

Round process on both sides of the ankle joint. The lateral malleolus is part of the fibula, and the medial malleolus is part of the tibia

Upper portion of the sternum; articulates with the medial aspect of the clavicle

Round projection on the temporal bone behind the ear
