Question
Answer
Skeletal System   made of organs called bones  
🗑
Diaphyris   long shaft part of bone  
🗑
epiphysis   two ends of the bone  
🗑
Medullary canal   cavity in the diaphysis, contains yellow marrow  
🗑
Yellow Marrow   made up of mostly fatty cells  
🗑
endosteum   membrane that lines the medullary canal and keeps the yellow marrow in tact  
🗑
Red Marrow   found in certain bones, such as vertebrae,ribs, sternum,and cranium, and in the proximal ends of the humerus and femur. It produces red blood cells, platelets, and white blood cells.  
🗑
periosteum   tough membrane that covers bone  
🗑
axial skeleton   forms the main trunk of the body, composed of skull, spinal column, ribs, and breastbone.  
🗑
appendicular skeleton   forms the extremities and is composed of the shoulder or girdel, arm bones, pelvic gridle, and leg bones.  
🗑
Cranium   spherical structure that surrounds and protects the brain.  
🗑
Fontanels   spaces that allow for the enlargement of the skull as the brain grows. Made of membrane and cartilage.  
🗑
Sutures   areas where the cranial bone have joined together.  
🗑
Foramina   openings in the bone that allow nerves and blood vessels to enter or leave the bone.  
🗑
Vertebrae   bones that protect the spinal cord and provide support for the head and trunk. 7 Cervical, 12 Thoracic, 5 Lumbar, 1 Sacrum, and 1 Coccyx.  
🗑
Ribs   attach the thoracic vertebrae on the dorsal surface of the body. First seven are true ribs because they directly attach to the sternum. The next five are false because they attach to the rib above it. The last two are floating ribs.  
🗑
sternum   breastbone, last bone of the axial skeleton. Consists of three parts: manubrium, gladidus, and xiphoid process. They protect the heart and lungs.  
🗑
clavicle   collar bone  
🗑
scapula   shoulder bone  
🗑
humerus   upper arm bone  
🗑
radius   lower arm, bone on thumb side  
🗑
ulna   larger bone of the lower arm with a projection called the olecronen process at its upper end, forming the elbow.  
🗑
Carpals   wrist  
🗑
metacarpals   palm of the hand  
🗑
phalanges   fingers and toes  
🗑
os coxae   hip bones  
🗑
femur   thigh bones  
🗑
patella   kneecap  
🗑
tibia   lower leg  
🗑
fibula   lower leg  
🗑
tarsals   ankle  
🗑
metatarsals   instep of foot  
🗑
joints   areas where two or more bones are joined together.  
🗑
Ligaments   connective tissue bonds that help hold bones together at joints.  
🗑
Diarthrosis joints   freely movable, ball-and-socket  
🗑
Amphiorthrosis joints   slightly movable  
🗑
synorthrosis joints   immovable joints  
🗑
