Question
Answer
compact bone   solid bone outside of skeleton  
🗑
compact bone composed of   osteons

center tunnel of each osteon for blood vessels   haversian canal  
🗑
extends perpendicular from haversian canal. connects blood vessels from adjacent osteons   volkmann's canal  
🗑

🗑
between lamellae find   osteocytes (bone cells)  
🗑
osteocytes live inside   lacunae (shells)  
🗑
tunnels radiating out of individual lacuna   canaliculi  
🗑
small spaces between osteons filled with small bony matrix sheets - between rings   interstitial lamellae  
🗑
lacks distinctive structure of compact bone found on the interior skeleton. osteon arrangement not present.   cancellous bone  
🗑
cancellous bone is composed of small spikes of bony matrix called   trabeculae  
🗑
skull, vertebral column, ribs, sternum   axial skeleton  
🗑
arms, legs, pelvic girdle, shoulder girdle   appendicular skeleton  
🗑
represent points of attachment for muscles, joint surfaces, openings for various blood vessels, & nerves to enter and leave the skull   surface markings  
🗑
rounded hole   foramen  
🗑
slit-like hole   fissure  
🗑
tube-like hole   meatus  
🗑
hollow space   sinus  
🗑
bump   tuberosity  
🗑
crest or line   ridge  
🗑
groove   sulcus  
🗑
dpression   fossa  
🗑
joint surface   condyle, head, facet  
🗑
portion of skull houses the brain   cranium  
🗑
brain lies within   cranial cavity (vault)  
🗑
large bone forms forehead region   frontal bone  
🗑
bony eye socket   orbit  
🗑
directly posterior to the frontal bone. paired bones form the upper central portion of skull & cranial cavity   parietal bones  
🗑
directly inferior to parietal bones and form the sides of the skull and the lowers sides and portion of the floor of cranial cavity   temporal bones  
🗑
large bump lies just behind the ear   mastoid process  
🗑
found in skull interior and forms large "mountain" on the floor of cranium. houses internal ear structures   petrous ridge  
🗑
anterior to the mastoid process. spike like projection   styloid process  
🗑
anterior to the mastoid process tube-like hole. holds tube that sound waves travel to the internal ear structures   external auditory meatus  
🗑
thin bony projection that extends anteriorly   zygomatic process  
🗑
thin bony projection extending anteriorly joins similar posterior extention of a bone from the face   zygomatic arch  
🗑
small opening located in the ridge portion of temporal bone from inside of skull (path for nerve from inner ear to brain)   internal auditory meatus  
🗑
openings that can be viewed from both inside and inferior aspect of skull. rather large openings allow blood to drain from brain to the heart   jugular foramen  
🗑
provides opening for carotid artery to enter cranial cavity   carotid canal  
🗑
temporal bones consist of (7)   mastoid process, petrous ridge, styloid process, external & internal auditory meatus, zygomatic process & arch, jugluar foramen, carotid canal  
🗑
forms posterior wall and portion of floor of cranial cavity with several surface markings   occipital bone  
🗑
occipital bones consist of (2)   foramen magnum, occipital condyles  
🗑
largest hole in the skull where spinal cord exits the cranium to vertebral column   foramen magnum  
🗑
lateral to foramen magnum two rounded articular (joint) surfaces. form a joint with the first vertebra in spinal column   occiptal condyles  
🗑
large, oddly shaped bone can be seen from inside or from inferior aspect. bat-shaped extends from one temple to the other. can be seen forming the back & lateral portions of orbit   sphenoid bone  
🗑
sphenoid bone consists of (2)   sella turcica & optic canal  
🗑
prominent landmark can be easily seen from inside cranium. "thurkish saddle" home to pituitary gland   sella turcica  
🗑
rounded tunnel extending from orbit into cranial cavity accomodated optic nerve as it travels from eyeball to brain   optic canal  
🗑
lies between and forms medial wall of the orbits   ethmoid bone  
🗑
ethmoid bone consists of (5)   perpendicular plate, crita galli, cribriform plate, middle & superior nasal conchae  
🗑
superior (upper) portion of nasal septum divides nasal cavity into left & right parts   perpendicular plate  
🗑
from inside cranial cavity, ridge near the front of cranial cavity serves as attachment point for membranes that surround the brain   crista galli  
🗑
on either side of crita galli is a perforated, scree-like structre. Tiny holes in this grid allow olfactory nerve to enter brain tissue from nasal cavity region   cribriform plate  
🗑
upper scroll like bones on lateral sides of nasal cavities   middle and superior conchae  
🗑
squiggly line joints   sutures  
🗑
soft spots   fontanels  
🗑
form anterior portion of skull   facial bones  
🗑
form superior portion of nasal region   nasal bones  
🗑
bone that forms the upper jaw   maxilla  
🗑
upper teeth   maxillary teeth  
🗑
inferior to the orbit. passage for trigeminal nerve, a major nerve associated with face structures   infraorbital foramen  
🗑
maxilla consists of (2)   maxillary teeth & infraorbital foramen  
🗑
inferior to the maxilla is a movable bone, forms lower jaw   mandible  
🗑
lower teeth   mandibular teeth  
🗑
articulation between temporal bone & mandible, lies just anterior to external aud meatus   temporomandibular joint  
🗑
