🗑
adduction   movement of part of body or limb toward the midline of body; opposite of abduction.  
🗑
appendicular skeleton   part of skeleton consisting of shoulder and pelvic girdles,arms and legs.  
🗑
axial skeleton   skeleton of head and trunk.  
🗑
ball and socket joint   diarthroses joint allows the greatest freedom of movement.  
🗑
medullary canal   Located in the center of diaphysis, filled with yellow bone marrow, mostly made of fat cells.  
🗑
ossification   the process when mineral matters starts to replace previously formed cartilage, creating bones.  
🗑
bursa sacs   small sac that cushion joints  
🗑
circumduction   circular movement at a joint.  
🗑
osteocyte   a mature bone cell.  
🗑
periosteum   a tough fibrous tissue which contatins blood vessels, lymph vessels, and nerves that covers the outside of the bone.  
🗑
diaphysis   shaft of long bone.  
🗑
endosteum   lining of the medullary cavity in the long bone.  
🗑
epiphysis   the end of the long bone.  
🗑
extension   act of increasing the angle between two bones.  
🗑
flexion   the act of bending a limb or decreasing the angle between two bones.  
🗑
pronation   the forearm turns the hand so the palm is downward or backward.
