| Facet | facet small, flat articular surface |
| Fossa | fossa shallow depression (infraspinous fossa) |
| Sulus | sulus narrow groove (depression) |
| Foramen | foramen passageway for vessles and nerves - opening (vertebral foramen) |
| Canal | canal passage way through the substance of a bone - opening (vertebra canal for spinal nerve) |
| Fissure | fissure elogated cleft - opening |
| Sinus | sinus chamber within a bone - opening |
| Long Bone | long bones long & slender (femur, tibula, fibula, humerus) |
| Short Bone | short bones smal and boxy (carpals, tarsals) |
| Flat Bones | flat bones thin, parallel surfaces (sternum, ribs, scapula) |
| Irregular Bones | irregular bones complex shapes (vetebrae, pelvis, skull) |
| Sesamoid Bones | sesamoid bones small flat, seed like (patella) |
| Sutural Bones | sutural bones small, flat, irregular long bones arm, leg, hand, toes short bones carpals, tarsals flat bones sternum, rigs, scapula irregular bones vetebrae, pelvis, skull sutural bones between bones of skull |
| Anticubital | anticubital front of the elbow |

| cartilagenous joint- | An articulation in which bones are united by cartilage without a synovial membrane |
| ball & socket | synovial joint |
| gomphoses (roots of teeth) | synarthroses joint |
| intervertebral disc | amphiarthrosis joint |
| pivot joint (radius - ulnar) | diarthrosis joint |
| hinge joint (elbow, knee) | synovial joint |
| ellipsodial Joint (wrist) | synovial joint |
| saddle joint (carpal - metacarpal) | synovial joint |
| gliding joint (carpal - carpal) | synovial joint |
| meatus | body opening or passage, such as the opening of the ear (auditory meatus) or the urethral canal |
| nucleus pulposus | soft, fibrocartilaginous central portion of the intervertebral disk |
| Annulus fibrosus | A fibrous and cartilage ring that forms the circumference of a vertebrae |
| endosteum | cells lining the medullary cavity of a bone |
| periosteum | dense fibrous membrane covering the surface of bones except at the joints |
| retinaculum | holds organ or tissue in place |
| galabella | inner eye (CV1) |
| collagen | the main component of bone that has the piezoelectric quality |
| remodeling | is continual changing of bone in response to functional demands |
| cancellous | bone that contains trabeculas |
| axial skeleton | forms the axis of the body. Includes the head, vertebral column, ribs and sternum. Provides the body with form and protection. |
| Appendicular skeleton | composed of the limbs of the body and their attachments.Sagittal suture between parietal bones |
| Lambdoidal suture | between the parietal bones and the occipital bones |
| Coronal suture | between the parietal bones and the frontal bones |
| Squamous suture | between the temporal and parietal bones. |
