🗑
acromion   Outward extension of the shoulder bone forming the point of the shoulder. It overrides the shoulder joint and articulates with clavicle  
🗑
articular cartilage   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  
🗑
bone   Dense, hard connective tissue composing the skeleton. Examples are long bones (femur), short bones (carpals), flat bones (scapula) and sesamoid bones (patella)  
🗑
calcium   One of the mineral constituents of bone. Calcium phosphate is the major calcium salt in bones  
🗑
cancellous bone   Spongy, porous, trabecular bone  
🗑
cartilaginous tissue   Flexible, rubbery connective tissue. Found in immature skeleton at the epiphyseal growth plate and on joint surfaces  
🗑
collagen   Dense connective tissue strands found in bone  
🗑
compact bone   hard dense bone tissue  
🗑
condyle   knuckle-like process at the end of the bone near the joint  
🗑
cranial bones   Skull bones: ethmoid, frontal, occipital, parietal, sphenoid, and temporal  
🗑
diaphysis   Shaft, or midportion, of a long bone  
🗑
disk (disc)   Flat, round, plate-like structure. An intervertebral disk is a fibrocartilaginous substance between two vertebrae  
🗑
epiphyseal plate   Cartilaginous area at the ends of long bones where lengthwise growth takes place in the immature skeleton  
🗑
epiphysis   Each end of a long bone; the area beyond the epiphyseal plate  
🗑
facial bones   Bones of the face: lacrimal, mandible, maxillae, nasal, vomer and zygomatic  
🗑
fissure   Narrow, slit-like opening in or between bones

🗑
manubrium   Upper portion of the sternum; articulates with the medial aspect of the clavicle  
🗑
mastoid process   Round projection on the temporal bone behind the ear  
🗑
medullary cavity   Central, hollowed-out area in the shaft of the bone  
🗑
metaphysis   The flared portion of the long bone, lying between the diaphysis (shaft) and the  
🗑
olecranon   Large process on the proximal end of the ulna; the point of the flexed elbow  
🗑
osseous   Bone tissue  
🗑
ossification   Process of bone formation  
🗑
osteoblast   Bone cell that helps form bone tissue  
🗑
osteoclast   Bone cell that absorbs and removes unwanted bone tissue  
🗑
periosteum   Membrane surrounding bones, rich in blood vessels and nerve tissue  
🗑
