🗑
Two subdivisions of the skeleton   Axial skeleton, Appendicular skeleton  
🗑
The adult skeleton has how many bones   206  
🗑
Two types of bones tissue   compact bones, Spongy bones  
🗑
Spongy Bones   small needle like pieces of bone with many open spaces  
🗑
classification of bones   long, short, flat, irregular  
🗑
long bones   typically longer than wide, shaft with heads situated at both ends, contain mostly compact bones.  
🗑
short bones   generally cube shape, contain mostly spongy bone, includes bones of the wrist and ankles, sesamoid bones are a type of short bone.  
🗑
flat bones   Thin flattened and usually curved, Two thin layers of compact bone surround a layer of spongy bone.  
🗑
Irregular Bones   Do not fit into other bone classification for example vertebrae, Hip bones  
🗑
Diaphysis   Is at the Shaft, composed of compact bone  
🗑
Epiphysis   At the ends of long bone, and composed mostly of spongy bone  
🗑
Periosteum   Outside covering of the diaphysis  
🗑
Perforating (Sharpey's) fibers   Secure periosteum to underlying bone  
🗑
Arties   Supply bone cells with nutrients  
🗑
Articular Cartilage   Covers the external surface of the epiphyses, made of hyaline cartilage, decreases friction at joint surfaces.  
🗑
Epiphyseal Plate   Flat plate of hyaline cartilage seen in young growing bone.  
🗑
Epiphyseal Line   Remnant of the epiphyseal plate, seen in adult bones.  
🗑
Osteon (Haversian System)   A unit of bone contaning the central canal  
🗑
Central (Haversian Canal)   Opening in the center of an Osteon  
🗑
Perforating (Volkman Canal)   Canal Perpendicular to the central canal, carries blood vessel and nerves.  
🗑
Lacunae   Cavities containg bone cells  
🗑
Lamellae   Rings around the central canal, sites of lucanae  
🗑
Epiphyseal Plates   Allows for lengthwise growth of long bones during childhood  
🗑
Appositional   Bones grow in width  
🗑
Osteocytes   Mature bone cells  
🗑
Osteoblast   Bone forming cells  
🗑
Osteoclast   giant bone destroying cells  
🗑
Fracture   break in the bone  
🗑
Closed Fracture   Break that does not penetrate  
🗑
Open Fracture   Broken bone penetrate through the skin.  
🗑
Comminuted   Bones break into many fragments  
🗑
Compression   Bones are crushed  
🗑
Depressed   Broken bone portion is pressed inwaard  
🗑
Impacted   broken bone ends are forced into eachother  
🗑
Spiral   Ragged break occurs when excessive twisting forces are applied to the bone  
🗑
Green stick   Bones breaks completely  
🗑
Axial Skeleton   skull, vertebral column, bony thorax  
🗑
Skull Two sets of bones   Cranium, Facial Bones  
🗑
Nine Vertebrae fuse to form two composite bones   Sacrum, Coccyx  
🗑
Primary Curvature   Spinal Curvatures of the thoracic and sacral area present from birth form a C shape  
🗑
Secondary Curvature   are the spinal curvatures of the lumbar region develops after birth.  
🗑
