Bones

Anatomy of the bones

TermDefinition
Diaphysis shaft bone made of compact bone has yellow bone marrow
Epiphysis end bone mostly spongy bone
Articular Cartilage hyaline cartilage forming of the synovial joints
yellow bone marrow medullary cavity lined with vascular membrane (endosteum) stores fat
Red bone marrow produce all types blood cells spongy bone
Periosteum end of long bone layer of fibrous connective tissue
Ligaments fibrous connective tissue that joins bone to bone at joints
Compact bone called osteons has central canal and has blood vessels
Spongy bone plates with spaces filled with bone marrow
Cartilage flexible connective tissue categorized of matrix fibers
hyaline cartilage end of long bones, nose, ends of ribs, larynx and trachea(fine collagen fibers)
fibrocartilage disk between vertebrae in the knee(strong Collagen fibers) stronger than hyaline
Elastic Cartilage ear flap and epiglottis;more flexible than hyaline more elastic fibers
Osteoblasts bone forming cells
Osteocytes mature bone maintain bone structure from osteoblast
Osteoclasts bone absorbing cells
Chondroytes cartilage forming cells
ossification formation of bone
Intramembanous development between sheets of fibrous connective tissue in flat bones
Endochondrial cartilage replaced by bone uses most bone
Epiphyseal plate cartilage band growth plate allowing bones to lengthen
Growth hormone GH stimulates general bone growth and epiphyseal plate
Sex hormones increase growth during adolescence
Vitamin D converted hormone to allow calcium absorption in intestines
bone remodeling and its role bone renewal up to a rate of 18% per yr, respond to stress, regulates calcium through hormones
Parathyroid hormone increases blood calcium by accelerating bone recycling
Calcitonin decreases blood calcium
Osteoporosis weakened bones & decreased bone mass, around age 40, lead to fractures and other complications, treated with drugs hormones, and lifestyle change.
Hematoma (6-8hrs) blood clot between bones
Fibrocartilaginous callus (3wks)Cartilaginous callus form between broken bones
Bony callus (3-4mths) cartilaginous callus turned to bone
Remolding old bones tissue replaced by new bone
Skeletal System divided in two groups: Axial and Appendicular
skull made of cranium nd facial bones
Hyoid bone only bone that does not articulate with another bone
Sphenoid bone a keystone bone because all other bones articulate with it
Vertebral column vertebrae and intervertebral disk Rib cage-ribs and sternum
the skull the cranium
Cranium characteristics protects the brain,composed of bones, some contain sinuses, and bones of the face and hyoid bone
vertebral column 33 vertebrae, atlas is the 1st cervical vert. and axis is the 2nd cervical vert.
cervical 7
thorocic 12
lumbar 5
sacrum 5 fused
coccyx 4 fused into tailbone intervertebral disk will have fibrocartilage between vertebrae
ribs protect heart and lungs
Flattening bone originating from the thoracic vertebrae
appendicular skeleton located in pectoral girdle and upper limb and pelvic girdle nd lower limb
pectoral girdle scapula and clavicle, upper limb, and arm nd hand bone (opposable thumb)
pelvic girdle coxal bone(ilum, pubis, and ischium), lower limb, and leg and foot bones
Fibrous usually immovable such as sutures between cranial bones
Cartilaginous slightly movable intervertebral disk
Synovial freely movable such as ball and socket hip nd shoulder joints and the knee
Meniscus c shaped hyaline cartilage that lie between the bones
Bursae fluid filled sacs reduce friction in joints
Facial Bones Mandible and Maxillae, Zygomatic bones, Nasal bones, Hyoid the only bone that does not articulate with another bone

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.
