Question
Answer
bones   provides the framework on which the body is constructed  
🗑
joints   places at which the bones come together

🗑
rhemat/o   watery flow -refers to joint fluid when used as rhematologist  
🗑
chiropractor   chir-hand. not a physician but has extensive and specialized training in using physical means to manipulate the spinal columns, joints, and soft tissue.  
🗑
osseous   bony  
🗑
osteocytes   bone cells  
🗑
collagen   dense connective tissue strands  
🗑
cartilaginous tissue   resembles osseous tissue but is more flexible and less dense because of a lack of calcium salts in its intercellular spaces. bones of fetus are this material.  
🗑
ossification   bone formation.  
🗑
bone formation   depends on calcium and phosphorus  
🗑
osteoblasts   immature osteocytes that produce the bony tissue that replaces cartilage during ossification  
🗑
osteoclasts   large cells that function to reabsorb, or digest bony tissue. aka bone phagyocyte. digest from inside out.  
🗑
long bones   located in thigh, lower leg, upper and lower arm.  
🗑
short bones   located in wrist and ankle and are small with irregular shapes  
🗑
flat bones   cover soft body parts. skull, shoulder blades, ribs, pelvic bones  
🗑
sesamoid bones   small, rounded bones. like sesame seeds. found near joints and increase the efficiency of the muscles near a particular joint  
🗑
epiphysis   each end of a long bone  
🗑
diaphysis   shaft, or middle region, of a long bone.  
🗑
epiphyseal line   aka plate. represents an area of cartilage tissue that is constantly being replaced by new bone tissue as the bone grows. where growth takes place.  
🗑
metaphysis   flared portion of the bone between epiphysis and diaphysis and adjacent to epiphysis plate  
🗑
periosteum   strong, fibrous, vascular membrane that covers the surface of the long bones except at the ends of the epiphyses  
🗑
articular cartilage   covers the ends of the long bones and the surface of any bone that meets another bone to form a joint  
🗑
compact (cortical) bone   layer of hard, dense bone that lies under the periosteum in all bones and lies chiefly around the diaphysis of long bones.  
🗑
haversian canals   a system of canals containing blood vessels that bring oxygen and nutrients to the bone and remove the waste products. located in compact bone.  
🗑
medullary cavity   central, hollowed out area in the shaft of a long bone  
🗑
yellow bone marrow   composed chiefly of fat cells  
🗑
cancellous bone   aka spongy or trabecular hone. more porous and less dense than compact bone.  
🗑
trabecular   interwoven fibers making spongy latticework found in layers in cancellous bone. found largely in epiphyses and metaphysis of long bones and in the middle portion of most other bones. spaces contain red bone marrow.  
🗑
red bone marrow   consists of immature and mature blood cells in various stages of development  
🗑
bone processes   enlarged ares that extend out from bones to serve as attachments for the muscles and tendons  
🗑
bone head   rounded end of a bone separated from the body of the bone by a neck; usually covered by articular cartilage. in the femur is called the femoral head.  
🗑
greater trochanter   large process on the femur for attachment of tendons and muscle. lesser trochanter is a smaller process.  
🗑
tubercle   rounded process on many bones for attachment of tendons and muscles  
🗑
tuberosity   small, rounded elevation on a bone  
🗑
condyle   rounded, knuckle like process at the joint; usually covered by articular cartilage  
🗑
humerus   upper arm bone  
🗑
fossa   shallow depression or cavity in the bone  
🗑
foramen   opening for blood vessels and nerves  
🗑
fissure   narrow, deep, slit-like opening  
🗑
sinus   hollow cavity within a bone  
🗑
sutures   joint of cranial bones  
🗑
fontanelles   "little fountains" soft spots in cranial bones. babies have these. gaps of unossified tissue  
🗑
frontal bone   forms the forehead and the roof of the bony sockets that contain the eyes  
🗑
parietal bone   the two bones that form the roof and upper part of the sides of the cranium  
🗑
temporal bone   the two bones that form the lower sides and base of the cranium. each bone encloses and ear and contains a fossa for joining with the lower jawbone.  
🗑
temporomandibular joint (TMJ)   area of connection between the temporal and mandibular hones  
🗑
mastoid process   round process of the temporal bone behind the ear. mast/o-breast  
🗑
styloid process   projects downward from the temporal bone. styl/o-pole or steak.  
🗑
occipital bone   forms the back and base of the skill and joins the parietal and temporal bones, forming a suture.  
🗑
formen magnum   opening in the inferior portion of the occipital bone through which the spinal cord passes  
🗑
sphenoid bone   the bat-shaped bone that extends behind the eyes and forms part of the base of the skull. joins the frontal, occipital, and ethmoid bones and serves as an anchor to hold those bones together. sphen/o-wedge  
🗑
sella turcica   turkish saddle. depression in the sphenoid bone in which the pituitary gland is located  
🗑
ethmoid bone   thin, delicate bone that supports the nasal cavity and forms part of the orbits of the eyes.composed primarily of spongy, cancellous bone which contains numerous small hones. ethm/o-sieve  
🗑
nasal bone   the two slender bones that support the bridge of the nose. they join the frontal bone superiorly and form part of the nasal septum. nas/o-nose  
🗑
lacrimal bones   the two small, thin bones located at the corner of each eye. contain fossae for the lacrimal (tear) gland and canals for the passage of the lacrimal duct. lacrim/o-tear  
🗑
