Which skeletal division includes the skull, hyoid, vertebral column, thoracic cage and sternum? Axial
Infantile Skull part of the axial skeletal
Fontanels Sections of an infantile skull that allows for cranial molding.
Appendicular Appendages and their support structures
Axial Osteopathology Cleft Palate, mastoiditis, Bulging disks, Herniated discs, vertebral column assymmetry
Axial Osteopathology: Cleft palate Incompletely fused palatine processes or palatines.
Axial Osteopathology: mastoiditis bacterial infection of the mastoid via the middle ear infection.
Which Axial Osteopathology can lead to meninges may become infected mastoiditis
Middle ear infection that moves through the tissue may lead to what? Infecting the meninges
Axial Osteopathology: Bulging disk affects vertebrae, where collagen fibers (annulus) cracks or bulges out from disk.
this happens with age, annulus (collagen fibers) cracks, nucleus loses firmness. Bulging disk
What locations are commonly effected by bulging disks? L3 & L4
Cushioning structure between vertbrae disks
Is there a cure for bulging disks? Bulging disks will goa way if you stop the action that caused it.
Axial Osteopathology: herniated disks Increase pressure, increase cracks and nucleus squeezes out

A condition where increased number of osteoclasts removes bone; spongy bone is reabsorbed before compact bone ostoporosis
Aging of the skeleton Generate more osteoclasts then osteoblasts, hieght reduction, increase interostonic gaps, joint degeneration.
Height reduction Age related condition where compression of discs and vertebral body happens
Increase interosteonic gaps age related condition, bone remodeling continues, but not all osteons are replaced resulting in gaps in bones.
Joint degeneration age related condition where there is decrease regeneration of cartilage and ligaments.
