anatomy skeletal

QuestionAnswer
compact vs spongy bone: spongy: inside of long bones, has marrow, less dense compact: outside of long bones, more dense
lacunae: cave
lamellae: ring/layer
haversian canal: vertical w/ blood
volkman's canal: horizontal w/ blood, connects 1 osteon to another
red marrow vs yellow marrow: red: produces blood cells yellow: stores lipids
osteocytes: bone cells in lacunae
osteoblasts: builders
osteoclasts: breakers
ossification: "make bone"
longitudinal vs appositional growth: longitudinal: gets bigger from top to bottom (like when you are growing from a babeh) appositional: bone WIDENING, osteoblasts build on periosteum while osteoclasts expand marrow cavity caused by factors like exercise, weight, hormones, nutrition
what does PTH do? if blood calcium levels are LOW, then PTH are releases, which activates osteoclasts
what does calcitonin do? if blood calcium levels are HIGH, then calcitonin stops osteoclasts
long bones: are long duh
flat bones: curved and thin, protects organs
short bones: cube like
irregular bones: look weird
fibrous joint: -fibrous tissue -NO movement - ex: suture of skull
cartilaginous joint: -cartilage -amphiarthrotic: slight movement -ex: vertebrae, pubic symphysis
synovial joint: -fliud filled cavity -diathrotic/a lot of movement -ex: most joints in the appendicular skeleton
gliding plane joint: -synovial -2 flat surfaces glide over each other -ex: between vertebrae, clavicle, carpal bones of wrist
hinge joint: -synovial -extential/flection -ex: elbow, knee, finger joints
pivot joint: -synovial -rotating around an axis -ex: axis and altas, proximal end of radius and ulna
ball and socket joint: -synovial -ALL ranges of movement -ex: shoulder, hip
condyloid/ellipsoid joint: -synovial -oval bone into a shaped hallow -movement in 2 planes (front and back + side to side) -like the ball and socket but W/O rotation -ex: wrist, knuckles
saddle joint: -synovial -front and back motion -ex: joints between the metacarpal and phalange of thumb
complete fracture: 1 bone --> 2
incomplete fracture: 1 bone --> still 1 bone
simple/closed fracture: bone breaks but is still in the skin
compound/open fracture: bone breaks and is through the skin
greenstick fracture: -incomplete fracture -bend in bone causes small cracks along the outside
spiral fracture: -complete fracture -twisting forces, typically from sports
comminuted fracture: -complete fracture -many fragments/pieces from brittle bones
transverse fracture: -break is straight across -sharp/direct
compression fracture: -crushed bone -common in vertebrae -common w/ osteoporosis
impacted fracture: -bone ends are forced into each other -can be caused by falls
depressed fracture: type of skull break where piece of the skull is pushed inward
steps of bone healing after fracture: 1: bruise forms 2: break is "splinted" by cartilage callus 3: spongy bone replaces cartilage callus 4: bone remodels
osteoporosis: overactive osteoclasts (bone breaking) that causes low bone density and other complications
rickets: lack of calcium or vitamin D (both essential for your bones), so bones don't harden --> creates curve in legs

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.
