| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Femur | thighbone |
| Tibia | Lower leg Shinbone Larger and medial of the two |
| Fibula | lower leg thinner of the two and lateral of the two Hint: A small lie is a Fib Hint: fibuLA is LAteral |
| Humerus | upper arm |
| Ulna | inner lower arm |
| Radius | outer lower arm |
| Sternum Can you list the 3 parts? | breastbone Made up of 3 bony plates: Manubrium Body of Sternum Xiphoid Process |
| Clavicle | Collar bone The clavicle is the only long bone in the body that lies horizontally |
| Sacrum | large, triangular bone at the base of the spine |
| Coccyx | commonly referred to as the tailbone, is the final segment of the vertebral column |
| Xiphoid Process | a small cartilaginous process (extension) of the inferior (lower) part of the sternum |
| Patella | kneecap A flat, rounded triangular bone which articulates with the femur (thigh bone) and covers and protects the anterior articular surface of the knee joint. |
| Metatarsal Bones, or Metatarsus | a group of five long bones in the foot, located between the tarsal bones of the hind- and mid-foot and the phalanges of the toes. |
| Phalanges | are digital bones in the hands and feet Fingers and Toes distal, intermediate, and proximal |
| Tarsus | a cluster of seven articulating bones in each foot situated between the lower end of the tibia and the fibula of the lower leg and the metatarsus. |
| Ribs | |
| Vertebra | |
| Cervical vertebrae | the vertebrae of the neck C1 to C7 Latin: cervix means neck |
| Thoracic vertebrae | the middle segment of the vertebral column, between the cervical vertebrae and the lumbar vertebrae T1 to T12 |
| Lumbar vertebrae | five vertebrae between the rib cage and the pelvis L1 to L5 |
| Xiphoid Process | the cartilaginous section at the lower end of the sternum, which is not attached to any ribs, and gradually ossifies during adult life. |
| Costal Cartilage | Bars of cartilage that serve to prolong the ribs forward and contribute to the elasticity of the walls of the thorax. Connect ribs to Sternum |
| Metatarsal or Metatarsus | Foot bones (medial region) a group of five long bones in the foot, located between the tarsal bones of the phalanges |
| Bones of the Hand | Phalanges (fingers) Metacarpals (hand) Carpals (wrist) |
| Bones of the Chest | Clavicle Sternum Xiphoid Process Ribs Costal Cartilage Floating Ribs |
| Bones of the Foot | Tarsals - ankle Metatarsals - foot Phalanges - toes |
| Bones of the Arms and Shoulder | Clavicle Scapula Humerus Radiaus Ulna |
| Bones of the Leg | Femur Tibia Fibula |
| Regions of the Spine | Cervical (C1-7) Thoracic (T1-12) Lumbar (L1-5) Sacral (S1-5) Coccyx |
| Bones of the Head | Frontal Parietal Occipital Sphenoid Temporal Maxillary Mandible - jaw Zygomatic |
| Bones of the Pelvis | Ilium / Pubis / Ischium / Acetabulum Sacrum Coccyx |
| Process | a projection or outgrowth of tissue from a larger body Example: Xiphoid Process - outgrowth of the Sternum |
| Bones of the Spine Not the region's but each bone | Vertebra |
| Mandible | Jaw bone |
| Maxillary | Check bones, around the nose, and the upper jaw |
| Parietal | top back sides of the skull |
| Occipital | rear base of the skull |
| Costal | Related to the ribs |
