Question | Answer |
knoblike process usually larger than a tubercle, the tibia has on | tuberosity |
incomplete break in bone, usually occurs in young people | greenstic |
move toe closer to shin | dorsiflexion |
narrow ridgelike projection, the ilium has one | crest |
turning the foot so the sole faces laterally | eversion |
type of fracture that is a clean break of a bone that does not puncture the skin | simple |
moving a part so that its end follows a circular path (finger in a circular motion without moving the hand) | circumduction |
relatively deep pit or depression in bone | fossa |
armlike bar of bone | ramus |
turning the hand so that the palm is facing downward or posteriorly (in anatomical position) | pronation |
moving a part away from the midline | abduction |
a thorn like projection on a bone | spine |
type of fracture in which the bone breaks cleanly but the broken end sticks through the skin | compound |
type of fracture in which the bone breaks into many small pieces | comminuted |
relatively large process, the femur has one | trochanter |
an enlargement on the end of a bone | head |
fracture type resulting when a bone is crushed, common with osteoporosis patients | compression |
fraction type in which pieces of bone is pushed inward, common with car accidents and blunt force trauma to the head | depression |
turning the sole of the foot so it faces medially | inversion |
moving a part forward (thrusting your chin out) | protraction |
moving a part toward midline of the body | adduction |
rounded process that usually articulates with another bone | condyle |
large hole in a bone | foramen |
fracture type that is caused by the ends of a bone being forced together such as when you catch yourself when falling | impacted |
ragged break resulting from a twisting movement | spiral |
tubelike passageway in a bone | meatus |
movement that straightens a joint | extension |
turning th ehand so the palm faces upward or anteriorly (in anatomical position) | supination |
joint type that is responsible for sliding or twisting movements, found in wrist, ankle and sacroiliac joints | gliding |
type joint that allows flexion and extension, found in the knee and elbow | hinge |
bending parts at a joint so that the angle betweenthem decreases | flexion |
excessive extension of the parts at the joint beyond the anatomical position | hyperextension |
type of joint found between the proimal ends of radius and ulna that allows rotation around a central axis | pivot |
moving a part forward (sticking out your chin) | protraction |
raising a part like shrugging the shoulders | elevation |
type of joint only found between the carpal and metacarpal of the thumb, allows a variety of movements | saddle |
