Question
Answer
bones of the skeleton have 2 main groups   axial and appendicular  
🗑
axial skeleton   skull, spine and ribcage  
🗑
appendicular skeleton   arms and legs  
🗑
4 bone shapes   long, short, flat and irregular  
🗑
long bones   longer than they are wide (humerus)  
🗑
short bones   cube shaped (ankle and wrist) and sesamoid bones within tendons (patella)  
🗑
flat bones   thin, flat and slightly rounded (skull)  
🗑
irregular bones   complicated shapes (vertebrae)  
🗑
bone markings   structural features that play a role in bone function: projections, depression and openings  
🗑
projections for muscle and ligament attachment   tuberosity, crest, trochanter, line, tubercle, epicondyle, spine, process  
🗑
tuberosity   rounded projection  
🗑
crest   narrow, prominent ridge  
🗑
trochanter   large, blunt, irregular surface (head of femur)  
🗑
line   narrow ridge of bone  
🗑
tubercle   small, rounded projection  
🗑
epicondyle   raised area above a condyle  
🗑
spine   sharp, slender projection  
🗑
process   any bony prominence  
🗑
4 projections that help form joints   head, facet, condyle, and ramus  
🗑
head   bony expansion carried on a narrow neck  
🗑
facet   smooth, nearly flat articular surface  
🗑
condyle   rounded articular projection  
🗑
ramus   arm-like bar  
🗑
depressions and openings   meatus, sinus, fossa, groove, fissure, and foramen  
🗑
meatus   canal-like passageway  
🗑
sinus   cavity within a bone  
🗑
fossa   shallow, basin-like depression  
🗑
groove   furrow  
🗑
fissure   narrow, slit-like opening  
🗑
poramen   round or oval opening through a bone  
🗑
bone structure   bones have layers that differ for long, short, flat and irregular bones  
🗑
bone textures   compact and spongy  
🗑
compact bone   dense outer layer  
🗑
spongy bone   honeycomb of trabeculae  
🗑
structure of long bone   diaphysis, epiphyses, periosteum, endosteum  
🗑
diaphysis   shaft of long bone; compact bone collar that surrounds medullary cavity; contains yellow marrow  
🗑
epiphyses   expanded ends with a spongy bone interior, epiphyseal line (remnant of growth plate, articular (hyaline)cartilage on joint surfaces  
🗑
2 membranes of long bone   periosteum and endosteum  
🗑
periosteum   outer fibrous layer, inner osteogenic layer; nerve fibers, nutrient blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels enter the bone via nutrient foramen  
🗑
osteogenic layer of periosteum   osteoblasts, osteoclast and osteogenic cells  
🗑
endosteum   delicate membrane on internal surfaces of bone; osteoblasts and osteoclasts  
🗑
structure of short, flat and irregular bones   periosteum covers compact bone on outside; endosteum covers spongy bone within, spongy bone in flat bones = diploe, bone marrow between trabeculae  
🗑
diploe   spongy bone in flat bones  
🗑
location of hemopoietic tissue (red bone marrow)   cavities of adults; trabecular cavities of the heads of femur and humurus; trabecular cavities of diploe (spongy bone in flat bones)  
🗑
cells of bone   osteoblasts, osetoclasts, osteocytes, osteogenic cells  
🗑
osteoblasts   bone forming cells  
🗑
osteoclasts   cells that break down (resorb) bone matrix  
🗑
osteocytes   mature bone cells  
🗑
osteogenic cells   stem cells  
🗑
microscopic anatomy of bone   haversian system/osteon: structural unit  
🗑
lamella   compact bone; concentric, column-like matrix tubes  
🗑
central (haversian) canal   contains blood vessels and nerves  
🗑
perforating (Volkmanns) canals   connect central and peripheral canals  
🗑
lacunae   small cavities that contain osteocytes  
🗑
canaliculi   hairlike canals that connect lacunae  
🗑
bone development   osteogenesis/ossification  
🗑
osteogenesis/ossification   bone tissue formation; 3 stages: bone formation, postnatal bone growth, bone remodeling and repair  
🗑
bone formation   begins in second month of growth  
🗑
postnatal bone growth   until early adulthood  
🗑
bone remodeling and repair   lifelong  
🗑
endochondral ossification   cartilage (endocondral) bone forms by replacing hyaline cartilage; forms most of skeleton (except flat bones); uses hyaline cartilage models; requires breakdown of hyaline cartilage before ossification  
🗑
postnatal bone growth   interstitial and appositional  
🗑
interstitial growth   postnatal; increases length of bones  
🗑
appositional growth   postnatal; increases thickness and remodeling of all bones by osteoblasts and osteoclasts on bone surfaces  
🗑
interstitial growth of long bones   epiphyseal plate cartilage organizes into 4 functional zones: proliferation, hypertrophic, calcification, ossification  
🗑
proliferation zone   cartilage cells undergo mitosis  
🗑
hypertrophic zone   older cartilage cells enlarge  
🗑
calcification zone   matrix becomes calcified, cartilage cells die, matrix begins deteriorating  
🗑
ossification zone   new bone formation occurs  
🗑
classification of bone fractures   position of bone ends, completeness of break, orientation of break along axis, penetration through skin  
🗑
position of bone ends after fracture   nondisplaced: ends retain normal position displaced: ends out of alignment  
🗑
completeness of break   complete: broken all the way through incomplete: not broken all the way through  
🗑
orientation of break to the long axis of bone   linear: parallel to long axis transverse: perpendicular to long axis  
🗑
whether or not bone ends penetrate skin   compound (open): ends penetrate simple (closed): ends do not penetrate  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
