Term
Definition
Number of Phalanges in Upper & Lower Extremities   Each extremity has 14 phalanges, with every finger/toe having 3 bones, excluding the thumbs and big toe, which only have 2. There are 56 phalanges total  
🗑
Diaphysis   The shaft or central part of a long bone  
🗑
Bone Marrow   The material in bones that produces red blood cells, platelets and some white blood cells. Red Marrow: Produces red blood cells, platelets and white blood cells. Yellow marrow: White blood cells and storage area for fat cells or soft tissue in diaphysis.  
🗑
Fontanels   Spaces/Soft spots that allow for the enlargement of the skull as brain growth occurs, typically in a fetus when ossification is not done and sutures not fully formed. Made of membrane/cartilage that turn into bone by around 18 months. Main: par/frontal  
🗑
Sutures   Areas where the cranial bone have joined together; stitch or row of stitches between two bones like in the skull  
🗑
Where floating ribs connect on the posterior side   Connects to the vertebrae, rather than3: sternum  
🗑
Joints   Areas where two or more bones join together 3 types of joints: Diarthrosis/synoval, Amphiathrosis, Synathrosis  
🗑
Number of ribs and names   First 7: True ribs Next: False Ribs Last 2: Floating ribs Total: 24  
🗑
Vertebrae- Location and name   First 7: Cervical- Back of neck Next 12: Thoracic - Behind ribcage, heart, etc. Next 5: Lumbar- Lower Back Sacrum: (1-5 fused)- Bottom of spine Coccyx: (1-4 fused)- Aka tailbone, bottom of spine Total: 26 bones  
🗑
Invertebral disks   Act as shock absorbers between each vertebrae in the spinal column by keeping the vertebrae separated in case of impact during activity. Protects nerves that run down spine  
🗑
Bursitis   An inflammation of the bursae, which are small fluid-filled sacs surrounding the joints, to decrease friction. It frequently affects joints that perform frequent repetitive motions like the shoulder, elbows, hips or knees.  
🗑
Comminuted and compound/open fractures   Comminuted: A break or splinter of the bone in two or more fragments. Compound: An injury in which a broken bone pierces the skin, causing risk of infection  
🗑
Scoliosis   A side to side, or lateral curvature of the spine  
🗑
Kyphosis   Aka the hunchback, and is a rounded bowing of the back of the thoracic area  
🗑
Axial Skeleton Bones   Includes: Skull (28 bones, with auditory ossicles), Hyoid Bone (1), Vertebral column (26), Thoracic cage- ribs and sternum (25) 80 total bones  
🗑
Appendicular skeleton Bones   Includes:Pectoral girdle (2 scapulas, 2 clavicles), Upper limbs (1 arm, 2 forearm, 8 carpals, 5 metacarpals, 3 phalanges per finger, 2 in thumb), Pelvic girdle (2 coxae), Lower limbs ( 1 thigh, 2 leg, 7 tarsals, 5 metatarsal, 3 phalanges, 2 in thumb) =128  
🗑
5 Functions of the skeletal system   1.Framework: Supports the body- holds skin, fat and muscles 2.Protection: Protects vital organs 3.Levers: Provides movement- muscles attach to bones 4.Production of blood cells 5. Storage: Stores calcium, phosphorus and fats  
🗑
Number of adult bones   206  
🗑
Tendons   Bands of fibrous connective tissue that connects muscles to bones  
🗑
Ligaments   Fibrous tissue that connects bone to bone  
🗑
The shaft of long bones is called   Diaphysis  
🗑
Rickets   Disease affecting bone development that creates a softening and weakening of bones in children, typically because of lack of Vitamin D  
🗑
Podiatrist   Foot, leg and ankle surgeon who studies and treats illnesses and injuries to the lower extremities  
🗑
Foramina   Openings in bones that allows nerves and blood vessels to enter/leave the bone  
🗑
Bones that form the elbow   Humerus, Ulna, Radius  
🗑
Synathrosis   A type of joint that allows little to no movement under normal conditions. Most of these joints are fibrous. Ex: Upper part of the skull  
🗑
Dislocation   When a bone is forcibly displaced from a joint. Frequently occurs in shoulders,fingers, hips, knees, etc. Treated with puttimg back into place or cast  
🗑
Sprain   Injury to a joint accompanied by the stretching or tearing if ligaments  
🗑
Strain   Injury caused by excessive stretching or misuse of a muscle  
🗑
Cervical vertebrae   First: Atlas Second: Axis  
🗑
Os coxae Bones   Includes: Illium, ischium, and pubis  
🗑
Osteoporosis   Disorder of Increased porosity or softening of the bone caused by a hormone deficiency, prolonged lack of calcium in diet and a sedentary lifestyle  
🗑
Herniated or ruptured disc   Occurs when an invertebral disk ruptures or protrudes out of place, causing pressure on the spinal nerve  
🗑
Long bones   Connected with large movement, are long cylindrical with growth heads (epiphyses), which is covered by articular cartilage at either end. Outer layer- Hard, called compact bone Inside- Spongy, called cancellous bone Ex: Femur, Humerus, phalanges  
🗑
Short bones   Almost cube shaped, associated with smaller, more complex movements. Ex: Carpals and Tarsals  
🗑
Flat bones   Protect internal organs Ex: Shull, ribs, scapula, sternum. pelvic girdle  
🗑
Irregular bones   Irregular in shape Ex: Vertebrae, some facial bones  
🗑
Sesamoid bones   Small bones held within tendons, cartilage separated (acts as shock absorber) Ex: Patella  
🗑
