| This category of bone is thin in structure and shape. Usually provide muscle attachments (ribs, sternum, scapula) | Flat Bones |
| These bones are approximately cubed shaped and equal in size. (Carpals and tarsals) | Short Bones |
| Bones that come in a variety of shapes that correspond with function. (Face bones) | Irregular Bones |
| Bones that have greater length and width than others. (Femur, Humerus, Tibia...) | Long Bones |
| Bones that form in areas of stress. Boney structure where tendons attach. (Patella) | Seasmoid Bones |
| The place where bones meet. | Joint |
| Every bone in the body will connect to another bone except this one... | Hyoid bone that supports the tongue |
| How are joints classified? | Depending on range of movements |
| What are the three joint classifications? | Immovable (fixed), Slightly movable, and freely movable |
| Cranium bones are fused together, what is the name of this joint? | Sutural joint |
| These joints permit small, restricted movement | Slightly Movable joints (Pivot joint and Saddle Joint) |
| The joints permit movement in one or more directions. | Freely Movable joints |
| What are the two types of freely movable joints? | Ball and socket..and Hinge joints |
| Which joint permits movement in many directions? | Ball and socket joint (shoulder and hip) |
| Which joint permits back and forth motion? | Hinge joint (knee, elbow, fingers, toes) |
| Which joint allows one bone to slightly rotate around another? | Pivot Joint (ulna & radius, tibia & fibula) |
| Which type of joint allows one bone to slide over another in two directions? | Saddle joint (vertebrae, carpals & tarsals) |
| What is the two layers of fibrous tissue that surrounds a joint called? | Joint Capsule |
| The outermost layer of a joint capsule is the...? | Ligament |
| What do ligaments do? | Hold bones together |
| What fluid lubricates articular cartilage to m ake movement easier? | Synovial joint fluid |
| In larger joints, synovial fluid is in sacs called...? | Bursa sacs |
| Are teeth part of the skeletal system? | You betcha |
