🗑
what is the purpose of bone markings   it reveals where bones form joints w. other bones, where muscles, tendons, & ligaments were attached & where blood vessels & nerves passed  
🗑
name the categories of bone markings   projections, or processes that grow out from the bone (serve as sites of muscle attachment or help form joints) & depressions or cavities (indentations or opening sin the bone that often serve as condults for nerves & blood cessels  
🗑
tuberosity   large rounded projection; may be roughened, (rough elevated surface)  
🗑
crest   narrow ridge of bone; usually prominent  
🗑
trochanter   two massive processes on the femur  
🗑
line   slightly raised, elongated ridge  
🗑
tubercle   small rounded projection or process  
🗑
epicondyle   expanded region superior to a condyle  
🗑
spine   sharp, slender, or narrow process  
🗑
process   any bony prominence or projection  
🗑
head   (Artciulation) prominent expanded end of a bone, sometimes rounded (mostly long bones)  
🗑
facet   (Artculation) smooth, flat, slightly concave or conves articular surface (mostly long bones)  
🗑
condyle   (Articulation) rounded knob that articulates with another bone (mostly long bones)  
🗑
meatus   entrance to ear canal-like passageway  
🗑
fossa   broad, shallow depression in a bone, often serving as an articular surface  
🗑
groove   Long pit or furrow  
🗑
fissure   narrrow, slit through a bone

name the 4 classifications of bones   long, short, flat & irregular bones  
🗑
suture   Fibrous, interlocking joint of the crainal bones  
🗑

🗑
Bones   Serve as a protector of organs, produce blood cells, store minerals and fat, and serve as a frame work for support and attachment for muscles, tendons and ligaments  
🗑
Cortical Bone   Dense bone typically found on external surfaces and forms the walls of the shafts of long bones  
🗑
Trabecular Bone   Porous, spongy bone that is typically found at the ends of long bones, and in vertebral bodies and flat ones.
