Question
Answer
The skeleton has five general functions: 1 - 2   1. It supports and stabilizes surrounding tissue such as muscles, blood vessels, nerves, adipose (fat) tissue, and skin. 2. It protects vital organs of the body such as the brain, spinal cord, heart, and lungs.  
🗑
The skeleton has five general functions:3 -4   3. It assists in body movement (locomotion) by providing attachments for muscles that pull on the bones that act as levers. 4. The red bone marrow manufactures blood cells called hematopoiesis.  
🗑
The skeleton has five general functions: 5   5. It is a storage area for fat and mineral salts, especially phosphorus (P) and calcium (Ca).  
🗑
Located at the ends of the long bones and the center of all others is a meshwork of interconnecting sections called   cancellous (spongy) bone.  
🗑
The many spaces within cancellous bone are filled with   red bone marrow.  
🗑
Red bone marrow is found in larger quantities in the   cranium, ribs, vertebrae, sternum, and pelvic bones.  
🗑
A common site for red bone marrow extraction is an   iliac crest.  
🗑

The two extremities of the long bones are called the   epiphyses.  
🗑
The epiphyses are the sections of the long bones that   grow vertically (growth plates).  
🗑

🗑
The tissue found between articulating bones that acts as a shock absorber and reduces friction is called   cartilage.  
🗑
Cartilage can also be referred to as a   meniscus.  
🗑
The tissue that binds articulating bones together and allows a certain range of movement (ROM) is called   ligaments.  
🗑
The tissue that connects a muscle to a bone is called a   tendon.  
🗑
The formation of bone is called   ossification.  
🗑
Bone cells are called   osteocytes.  
🗑
Osteocytes are classified as:   1. Osteoblasts which will build bone. 2. Osteoclasts which will remove (reabsorb) bone.  
🗑
What is required for osteoblasts to function?   Weight (WT) bearing.  
🗑
What is required for the osteoclasts to function?   Nothing.  
🗑
Bones whose length exceeds their width are called   long bones.  
🗑
Examples of long bones include: 1-5   1. Two clavicles AKA collar bones. 2. Two humeri AKA superior arm bones. 3. Two radii AKA lateral inferior arm bones. 4. Two ulnae AKA medial inferior arm bones. 5. Two femurs AKA thigh bones (superior legs).  
🗑
The proximal portion of each ulna is called the   olecranon (elbow).  
🗑
Examples of long bones include 6- 7   6. Two tibiae AKA anterior inferior larger leg bones (shins). 7. Two fibulae AKA posterior inferior leg bones (“little fibs”).  
🗑
Examples of long bones include 8-10   8. Ten metacarpals AKA hand bones. 9. Ten metatarsals AKA foot bones. 10. Twenty phalanges AKA fingers or toes or digits.  
🗑
One finger or toe or digit is called a   phalanx.  
🗑
Bones without a shaft (diaphysis) are called   short bones.  
🗑
The carpals are arranged in   two rows of four each.  
🗑
Examples of short bones include:   1. 16 carpals AKA wrist bones. 2. Fourteen tarsals AKA ankle bones.  
🗑
In each proximal row from medial to lateral are the:   a. Pisiform. b. Triquetrum (triquetral). c. Lunate. d. Scaphoid (navicular).  
🗑
In each distal row from medial to lateral are the:   e. Hamate. f. Capitate. g. Trapezoid. h. Trapezium.  
🗑
The tarsals are arranged in the   hindfoot and the forefoot.  
🗑
Each hindfoot is made up of the   1. Calcaneus (calcaneum) AKA heel. 2. Talus. 3. Navicular. 4. Cuboid  
🗑
Each forefoot is made up of the:   1. Medial or first cuneiform. 2. Intermediate or second cuneiform. 3. Lateral or third cuneiform.  
🗑
Thin bones found whenever there is a need for extensive muscle attachment or protection for soft or vital parts are called   flat bones.  
🗑
Examples of flat bones include the   1.Cranium AKA skull. 2.One sternum AKA the breast bone. 3. Twelve pairs of ribs. 4. Two scapulae AKA shoulder bones (blades). 5. Pelvic bones. 6. Two patellae AKA kneecaps.  
🗑
The bones of the cranium include: a-f   a.Two parietal bones AKA the cranial roof. b.One frontal bone AKA forehead. c.Two temporal bones AKA temples. d.One occipital bone. e.Two zygomatic bones AKA cheek bones. f.One maxilla AKA superior jaw.  
🗑
The occipital bone is located at the   posterior base of the cranium.  
🗑
The bones of the cranium include:g-i   g. One mandible AKA inferior jaw. h. One nasal bone AKA the bridge of the nose. i.The depressions where the eyes are found are called the orbits.  
🗑
The superior section of the sternum is called the   manubrium (handle).  
🗑
The medial section of the sternum is called the   gladiolus (blade).  
🗑
The inferior section of the sternum is called the   xiphoid process (tip).  
🗑
Ribs 1-7 are called the   true ribs (vertebrosternal).
