🗑
Finally the bones stop growing in length by   late teens or early 20s  
🗑
Each epiphyseal plate hardens and can be seen in x-ray films as a thin line across the end of the bone, this is called the   epiphyseal line  
🗑

🗑
A hole that allows a vessel or a nerve to pass through or between bone is called   foramen  
🗑

🗑
A depression on a bone surface is a   fossa  
🗑
A short channel or passageway that leads to the inner ear is called the   meatus  
🗑
What skeleton consist of 80 bones and includes the bony framework fo the head and the trunk   axial skeleton  
🗑
What skeleton consists of 126 bones and forms the framework for the extremities and for the shoulders and hips   appendicular skeleton  
🗑
The suture that joins the frontal bone with two parietal bones along the coronal plane is the   coronal  
🗑
The suture that joins the temporal bone to the parietal bone on the craniums lateral surface is the   squamous  
🗑
The suture that joins the occipital bone with the parietal bone in the posterior cranium is the   lambdoid  
🗑
The suture that joins the two parietal bones along the superior midline of the cranium along the sagittal plane is the   sagittal  
🗑
The flexible regions that allow the skull to compress and change shape during birth and allow for rapid brain growth during infancy is known as   fontanels or soft spots  
🗑
This fontanel usually does not close until the child is about 18 months old   anterior  
🗑
What are the flat, immovable joints that unite the skull bones called   sutures  
🗑
The first vertebrae that supports the head is the   atlas  
🗑
The second cervical vertebrae serves as a pivot when the head is turning from side to side is the   axis
