As an adult the memdullary cavity is filled with _____________ | Yellow bone marrow (fat) |
The tough fibrous connective tissue membrane that covers the outside of the bone everywhere except the articular cartilage | Periosteum |
This type of cartilage is found on the ends of the epiphysis, and forms a smooth, shiny surface that decreases friction within as joint | Articular |
A joint is also called an ____________ | articulation |
A three month old fetus has an early skeleton–like frame that is composed of ________–and _____________ | cartilage and connective membrane |
The process whereby the cartilage and connective tissue membrane of the fetal skeleton become bone is called ______________ | Ossification |
The flat bones of the skull are initially constructed of __________ | Connective tissue membranes |
What type of cells migrate into the connective tissue membrane of flat bones to turn it into bone | Osteoblasts |
In long bones what material is replaced by osteoblasts | Cartilage |
Longitudinal bone growth (growing longer) occurs at the _____________ | Epiphyseal disc or growth plate |
What hormones stop the longitudinal growth of bone | Estrogen and Testosterone |
Which hormone causes the bones to quit growing longitudinally the soonest | Estrogen |
As a bone grows wider it does not become any heavier because _______ cells remove bone from the medullary canal and ________ cells add bone to the outside of the bone | Osteoclasts, Osteoblasts |

A depression or groove in a bone | Fossa |
A tunnel or tubelike passageway | Meatus |
A cavity or holow space | Sinus |
A bone brreak (fracture) in whih local tissue damage is minimal and the bone does not break the skin | Closed or simple fracture |
A bone break in which the end(s) of the bone break the skin and soft tissue damage is major. Repair within 4 hours will reduce risk of infection | Open or compound fracture |
An incomplete fracture in which the bone breaks incompletely and usually occurs in children | Greenstick or incomplete fracture |
What are the two types of osseous tissue that make up bone? | compact (dense bone) and spongy (cancellous) |
This part of the skeleton includes the bones of the skull, hyoid bone, bones of the middle ear, vertebral column and bony thorax | Axial skeleton |
This part of the skeleton includes bones of the extremities, hip and shoulder girdles | Appendicular skeleton |
