Anatomy

Bones

QuestionAnswer
Process general term for a projection from the surface of the bone
tubercle relatively small bump on bone
tuberocity relatively large, rough area on bone
spine short, sharp projection
condyle irregular, smooth surface that articulates with another bone
epicondyle bump on condyle
head hemispheric projection that articulates with another bone
facet smooth, flat face
trochanter a large bumb
Ramus branch
foramen shallow hole
sinus cavity
meatus/canal deep hole
fossa shallow depression in a bone
notch deep cut-out
groove/sulcus elongated dpression
fissure long, deep cleft
epiphysis proximal and distal ends of the bone
diaphysis shaft of the bone
articular cartilage on the ends of bones on the epiphysis
epiphyseal plate cartilage between the shaft and head (epiphysis and diaphysis)
epiphyseal line when a person reaches maximal height, the plate turns into bone
trabeculae what spongy bone is made of, thin rods or plates of bone that run in the same direction as the stress
Red marrow hemopoietic (blood-forming)
yellow marrow adipose contaning
Diploe spongy bones in flat bones
nutrient foramina small holes that allow for the passage of blood vessels in and out of the bone
perforating canals pass through compact bone horizontaly
Periosteum dense connective tissue covering the outside of the bone
endosteum inner surface of long bones, near marrow cavity
osteons modular units of bones, blood vessel center
central canal hole in middle of osteon which holds blood vessels and nerves
lacunae rings of dark spots around canal, spaces that the bone cell occupies living tissue
cancaliculi thin tubes connecting the lacunae
lamellae concentric rings between lacunae
osteoblasts originate from osteogenic cells which occur in the periosteum, endosteum, and central canals of osteons
osteocytes mature bones cells, respond to stresses placed on bone and remodel the bone in response to stresses
osteoclasts cells that remove collagen by acid phosphate and minerals by HCl
epiphysis proximal and distal ends of bone
diaphysis shaft of the bone
articular cartilage on the ends of the bone (epiphysis)
epiphyseal plates cartilage between the epiphysis and the diaphysis
epiphyseal line when the cartilage between epiphysis and diaphysis turns to bone in the end of growth phase
trabeculae thin rods or plates of bone in the spongy bone, growing where stress occurs
diploe spongy bone in flat bone
intramembranous ossification formation of bone from pre-existing hyaline cartilage models
Endochondral ossification formation of bone from connective tissue (messenchyme)
interstitial growth increase in length
intramembranous ossification formation of bone from pre-existing hyaline cartilage models
Endochondral ossification formation of bone from connective tissue (messenchyme)
interstitial growth increase in length
apppositional growth increase in width
calcitonin secretion too much Ca in blood, reduces osteoclast activity (Less bone resorption) increases osteoblast activity (increase bone deposition)
Calcitron not enough Ca in blood, PTH secretion, increase osteoclasts, reduce osteoblasts
Autoimmune immune system malfunctions, causes red blood cells, swelling and nowhere for the extra fluid to go
osteoarthritis degenerative, worses over time, physical therapy for treatment, wearing away of the cartilage
Hip dislocation 90% is backward direction, when a hip is replaces there is a cup inserted in the hip socket and the femoral head is replaced by metal ball and cap. the cup has tiny holes hoping the bone will regrow into it.
scoliosis the brace that is worn results in remodeling of the bone (know and be able to describe roles of osteoblasts, clasts, and cytes)
Bony Joint/synostosis occurs when two separate bones fuse to become one, immovable joints
fibrous joints connect one bone to another with collagenous fibers
synostosis fusion of two frontal bones into one bone
somphsis teeth and mandible
syndesmosis distal tibia and distal fibula
Cartilaginous Joints joints held together by cartilage
synchondrosis epiphyseal plate, humeral head and shaft; costal cartilages, first rib and sternum
symohysis joint between two vertebral bodies
synovial joints joints enclosed by synovial capsule
plane between carpal bones
hinge humerous and ulna
pivot atlas and axis
condyloid radius and scaphoid
saddle trapezium and first metacarpal
ball and socket acetabulum and femus

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
