Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
closed   bone does not go through the skin  
🗑
open   bone breaks through the skin (compound fracture)  
🗑
nondisplaced   broken bone ends remain in normal anatomical alignment  
🗑
displaced   broken bone ends are pulled out of their normal anatomical alignment  
🗑
Colles'   distal radius is broken falling onto an outstretched hand  
🗑
comminuted   bone is crushed into several pieces  
🗑
compression   vertebrae are compressed together when a fall occurs onto buttocks or a vertebra collapses in on itself because of disease  
🗑
depressed   cranium is fractured inward toward the brain  
🗑
greenstick   bone is broken on only one side  
🗑
hairline   very thin fracture line with the bone pieces together  
🗑
oblique   bone broken on an oblique angle  
🗑
spiral   bone broken in a spiral because of twisting force  
🗑
transverse   bone broken in transverse plane perpendicular to its long axis  
🗑
ethmoid bone   forms posterior nasal septum that divides the nasal cavity into right and left sides and forms medial walls of the eye sockets. (ethm/o-sieve)  
🗑
vomer   narrow wall of bone that forms inferior part of nasal septum and joins the sphenoid bone posteriorly  
🗑
zygomatic bone   forms each cheek bone  
🗑
temporal bones   form lower sides of cranium, contains an opening for external ear canal.  
🗑
mastoid process   a projection of each temporal bone that extends behind each ear  
🗑
styloid process   located inferiorally to temporal bones. This is where a point of attachment for tendons and muscles of the tongue and pharynx and for ligaments attach to the hyoid bone in the throat  
🗑
sphenoid bone   sphen/o-wedge shaped large irregularly shaped bone that forms part of the central base and sides of the cranium and posterior walls of eye sockets (holds the pituitary gland)  
🗑
occipital bone   forms posterior base of the cranium, contains the foramen magnum - a large opening that is round where the spinal cord passes through to join the brain  
🗑
suture   line where one cranial bone meets another  
🗑
frontal bone   forms forehead and top of cranium and ends at the coronal suture  
🗑
parietal bones   forms upper sides and upper posterior parts of the cranium (sagittal suture is located between these two bones)  
🗑
hyoid bone   flat, u-shaped bone in the anterior neck  
🗑
ischium   most inferior part of hip bones (seat bones - you sit on them!)  
🗑
ilium   most superior part of hip bones  
🗑
suture joint   located between 2 cranial bones, immovable, and contains no cartilage  
🗑
symphysis joint   slightly movable joint with a fibrocartilage pad or disk between the bones (vertebrae or pubic symphysis)  
🗑
synovial joint   fully movable joint. Examples are hinges and ball-and-sockets.  
🗑
hinge   allows motion in 2 directions (knee)  
🗑
ball-and-socket   allows motion in many directions (shoulder and hip). Bones that join here contain articular cartilage.  
🗑
ligament   joins 2 bones together  
🗑
tendon   joins bone to muscle  
🗑
superior rectus muscle   turns eye superiorly  
🗑
inferior rectus muscle   turns eye inferiorly  
🗑
medial rectus muscle   turns eye medially  
🗑
lateral rectus muscle   turns eye laterally  
🗑
superior oblique muscle   turns eye inferiorly and medially  
🗑
inferior oblique muscle   turns eye superiorly and laterally  
🗑
origin of muscle   beginning of muscle where its tendon is attached to a stationary or nearly stationary bone  
🗑
insertion of muscle   ending of muscle where its tendon is attached to the bone that moves when the muscle contracts and relaxes  
🗑
