Question
Answer
What are the five types of bone classifications?   Long bone, short bone, irregular bone, flat bone, sesamoid bone  
🗑
Describe a long bone and provide an example of a long bone.   Bone that is longer than it is wide. Example is the humerus of the arm or the femur of the leg.  
🗑
Describe a short bone and provide an example of a short bone.   Bone that is nearly equal in length and width. Example is the carpal and tarsal bone.  
🗑
Describe an irregular bone and provide an example of an irregular bone.   Bone that have elaborate shapes that do not fit into any other categories. An example is the vertebrae.  
🗑
Describe a flat bone and provide an example of a flat bone.   Bone that tend to be broad and thin and are used to protect organs. Examples are the some cranial bones, ribs, and sternum.  
🗑
Describe a sesamoid bone and provide an example of a sesamoid bone.   Bone that forms within tendons in response to stress. Example is the patella.  
🗑
What is compact bone?   Compact bone is the dense, calcified tissue of the bone. It contains central canal, lacunae, canaliculi, and osteon.  
🗑
What is spongy bone?   Inside of compact bone and contains the marrow. Contains spicules and trabeculae.  
🗑
What is yellow marrow?   This marrow is found in older adults. It does not produce blood.  
🗑
What is red marrow?   Children contain all red marrow in spongy bone. Described as hemopoietic tissue.  
🗑
What is the axial skeleton?   Contains the central supporting axis of the body.  
🗑
What does the axial skeleton include?   Skull, auditory ossicles, hyoid bone, vertebral column, and thoracic cage.  
🗑
How many bones does the axial skeleton contain?   It contains 80 bones.  
🗑
What is the appendicular skeleton?   Contains the bones of the upper limb and pectoral girdle and the bones of the lower limb and pelvic girdle.  
🗑
How many bones does the appendicular skeleton contain?   It contains 126 bones.  
🗑
Projection: Define "crest"   A narrow ridge (Example: iliac crest of the pelvis)  
🗑
Projection: Define "epicondyle"   A projection superior to a condyle (Example: medial epicondyle of the femur)  
🗑
Projection: Define "Line"   A slightly raised, elongated ridge (Example: nuchal lines of the skull)  
🗑
Projection: Define "Process"   Any bony prominence (Example: mastoid process of the skull)  
🗑
Projection: Define "Protuberance"   A bony outgrowth or protruding part (mental protuberance of the chin)  
🗑
Projection: Define "Spine"   A sharp, slender, or narrow process (spine of scapula)  
🗑
Projection: Define "Trochanter"   Two massive process unique to the femur.  
🗑
Projection: Define "Tubercle"   A small, rounded process (greater tubercle of the humerus)  
🗑
Projection: Define "Tuberosity"   A rough elevated surface (tibial tuberosity)  
🗑
Articulations: Define "Condyle"   A rounded knob that articulates with another bone (occipital condyles of the skull)  
🗑
Articulations: Define "Facet"   A smooth, flat, slightly concave or convex articular surface (articular facets of the vertebrae)  
🗑
Articulations: Define "Head"   The prominent expanded end of a bone, sometimes rounded (head of femur)  
🗑
Depressions: Define "alveolus"   A pit or socket (tooth socket)  
🗑
Depressions: Define "fossa"   A shallow, broad, or elongated basin (mandibular fossa)  
🗑
Depressions: Define "Fovea"   A small pit (fovea capitis of the femur)  
🗑
Depressions: Define "Sulcus"   A groove for a tendon, nerve, or blood vessel (intertubercular sulcus of the humerus)  
🗑
Openings: Define "Canal"   A tubular passage or tunnel in a bone (condylar canal of the skull)  
🗑
Openings: Define "Fissure"   A slit through a bone (orbital fissures behind the eye)  
🗑
Openings: Define "Foramen"   A hole through a bone, usually round (foramen magnum of the skull)  
🗑
Openings: Define "meatus"   an opening into a canal (acoustic meatus of the ear)  
🗑
Openings: Define "sinus"   An air-filled space in a bone (frontal sinus of the forehead)  
🗑
What are the 4 sutures of the skull?   Sagittal (down the top of the skull), Lamboidal (back of cranium), Coronal (Front of cranium) Squamous (Near temporal regions)  
🗑
There are 6 cranial bones. Identify each cranial bone.   Frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal, sphenoid, ethmoid  
🗑
The frontal bone has three features associated with it. Name them. (SSZ)   Supraorbital foramen, Superciliary ridges (brow ridge), Zygomatic process  
🗑
The occipital bone has three features associated with it. Name name. (EFO)   Occipital condyles, external occipital protuberance, foramen magnum  
🗑
The temporal bone has five features associated with it. Name them. (EZMSM)   External auditory meatus, zygomatic process, mastoid process, styloid process, mandibular fossa  
🗑
