Bone anatomy
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 80 bones including the skull, ribs, sternum, and vertebra | axial skeleton |
| 126 bones in the arms, legs, hands, feet, and pelvis | appendicular skeleton |
| The major mineral deposited in bone | calcium |
| The shaft of a long bone | diaphysis |
| The ends of a long bone | epiphyses |
| Where growth in length occurs in a bone | epiphyseal plate |
| Cartilage covering the surface of the phiphyses to provide for smooth movement and cushioning at joints | articular cartilage |
| The lining of the marrow cavity that is involved in bone growh and repair | endosteum |
| Dense white fiberous tissue covering the diaphysis of the bone; involved in muscle attachment, bone growth and repair | periosteum |
| Fills the marrow cavity in young people and produces red blood cells | red bone marrow |
| Fatty tissue that gradually replaces red marrow as we age | yellow bone marrow |
| Tissue inside the ends of a long bone; contains small spaces filled with red bone marrow and fat | spongy bone |
| A fracture in a bone that has been weakened by disease | pathologic fracture |
| A fracture in which one side of the bone is broken while the other side is bent | green stick fracture |
| A fracture that results from excessive twisting of the bone | spiral fracture |
| A fracture in which one segment of bone is forced into the other segment at the fracture site | impacted fracture |
| Living bone cells | osteocytes |
| The process of converting cartilage into bone | ossification |
| Two types of connective tissue found in the skeletal system | cartilage and bone |
| The connection between 2 or more bones or between cartilage and bone | Joint |
| Strong bands of connective tissue that hold joints in position; joins bone to bone | ligament |
| Kind of joint that allows free movement in all directions. (like the shoulder) | Ball-and-socket |
| A joint that allows movement in only one direction like the knee and elbow | Hinge |
| A kind of joint that allows rotating and swiveling such as between the atlas and axis in the neck. | Pivot |
| Joint that allows limited movement sideways and up and down, like in the wrist and ankle. | Gliding |
| Joint that has gliding movement in the upper joint space, and hinge movement in the lower space, like the jaw joint. | Gliding/hinge |
| Immovable joints that are interlocking margins of skull bones. | Sutures |
| Lines the inner surface of the joint cavity and produces fluid that lubricates joints. | Synovial membrane |
| Fiberous tissue that attaches muscle to bone. | Tendons |
| Injury to a ligament or a tendon | Sprain |
| A condition that is characterized by inflammation of a joint. | Arthritis |
| A condition caused by a lack of vitiamn D that results in soft bones and mishapened legs. | Rickets |
| A condition, especially in the elderly, in which calcium has been removed from the bone, making them less dense. | Osteoporosis |
| The space between the skull bones of an infant. | Fontanel |
| Three types of joints based on their degree of movement. | Freely movable, slightly movable, and immovable joints. |
