🗑
Function of the Skeletal System   Support, Storage of Minerals, Blood Cell production, Leverage and Protection  
🗑
Periosteum   Outer lining of the bone. Actively participates in bone growth and repair and attaches the bone to the connective tissue network of the deep fascia.  
🗑
Endosteum   Inner lining of the bone. Lines the medullary cavity. Consists of osteoprogenitor cells. Actively involved in repair and growth  
🗑
Two types of osseous tissue   Compact Bone and Spongy bone  
🗑
Compact Bone   Compact bones are dense and solid. Forms the walls of bone outlining the medullary cavity.  
🗑
Medullary cavity   Consists of bone marrow  
🗑
Spongy Bone   Open network of plates located at the ends of bones. Creates the lightweight nature of bones.  
🗑
Epiphysis   Each end of the long bones or the top part of the bone  
🗑
Diaphysis   shaft of the long bones or shaft of the bone  
🗑
Metaphysis   narrow growth zone between the Epiphysis and the Diaphysis  
🗑
Seven broad categories of bones   Sutural bones, Irregular bones, Short bones, Pneumatized bones, Flat bones, Long bones and Sesamoid bones

Dislocation   Bone is forcibly displaced from a joint.  
🗑
Sprain   Twisting action resulting in the tearing of ligaments at a joint.  
🗑
Osteomyelitis   Bone inflammation usually caused by a pathogenic organism.  
🗑
Osteoporosis   Softening of the bones causing the bones to become porous, brittle and prone to fracture.  
🗑
Ruptured Disk (herniated or slipped disk)   Occurs when an intervertebral disk ruptures or protrudes out of place resulting in pressure on a spinal nerve.  
🗑
Spinal curvatures   abnormal curvatures of the spine and includes kyphosis (hunchback) , Scoliosis and Lordosis or swayback.
