Question
Answer
Bones: Function (5)   Support, Protect, Movement, Storage of fat and calcium, Hematopoiesis.  
🗑
Bone Markings Tip: Terms Beginning With T   Projections.  
🗑
Bone Markings Tip: Terms Beginning With F (except facet)   Depressions.  
🗑
Bones: Classification   206 bones. Classified by tissue type and shape.  
🗑
Compact Osseous Tissue   Dense and looks smooth.  
🗑
Spongy Osseous Tissue   Composed of needlelike pieces and has lots of open space.  
🗑
Long Bones   Limbs, Longer than wider, compact bone.  
🗑
Short Bones   Sesamoid, wrist, ankle, patella. Cube-shaped and spongy.  
🗑
Irregular Bones   Vertebrae, hips. Whatever doesn't fit into the other categories.  
🗑
Long Bone: Composed of   Epiphysis.  
🗑
Epiphysis   The ends of the bone.  
🗑
Epiphysis: Composed of   Spongy bone.  
🗑
Articular Cartilage   Covers the epiphysis. Provides slippery surface and friction free movement.  
🗑
Articular Cartilage: Composed of   Hyaline Cartilage.  
🗑
Epiphyseal Line   Remnant of the epiphyseal plate from childhood where lengthwise growth of bones happened.  
🗑
Diaphysis   Middle of the bone composed of compact bone.  
🗑
Periosteum   Covers the diaphysis.  
🗑
Sharpey's Fibres   Secure the periosteum to the bone.  
🗑
Nutrient Arteries   Provide blood to the tissue.  
🗑
Medullary Cavity   Storage of fat tissue in adults: "yellow marrow". In infants, red blood cells: "red marrow".  
🗑
Osteocytes: Location   Cavities called lacunae.  
🗑
Lacunae: Arranged in   Concentric circles called lamella.  
🗑
Centre of Lamella   Haversian canal.  
🗑
Canaliculi   Tiny canals that connect bone cells to the nutrient supply and allow bones to heal quickly.  
🗑
Calcium Salts   Give bones hardness and compression resistance.  
🗑
Collagen Fibres   Provide flexibility and strength.  
🗑
Ossification   Process of bone growth.  
🗑
Osteoblasts   Convert hyaline cartilage to bone tissue in fetus.  
🗑
Change After Growth #1   Pull of gravity and muscles on the skeleton.  
🗑
Bedridden People   Less bone mass.  
🗑
Body Builders   Bones are thick where muscles attach.  
🗑
Change After Growth #2   Calcium levels in blood.  
🗑
Osteoclasts   When calcium is needed osteoclast break down the bone to release calcium in the blood. When calcium is high, it is deposited back on to the bones.  
🗑
Open or Compound Break   Break that penetrates the skin.  
🗑
Closed or Simple Break   Clean break.  
🗑
Comminuted Break   Bone breaks into fragments.  
🗑
Compression Break   Bone is crushed.  
🗑
Depression Break   Bone is pressed inward (skull).  
🗑
Spiral Break   Ragged break, occurs from twisting.  
🗑
Impacted Break   Broken bone ends are forced into each other.  
🗑
Greenstick Break   Incomplete break.  
🗑
Hairline Break   Very small crack in the bone "stress fracture".  
🗑
Rickets   Disease of children where bones fail to calcify. Bones show a "bowing". Lack of calcium or vitamin D.  
🗑
Reduction   Realignment of broken bone ends. Manually moving bones, or through surgery.  
🗑
Bone Healing Time   6-8 Weeks. Takes longer for older people because of low blood circulation.  
🗑
Bone Repair Step 1   Hematoma Forms: Blood fills breakage area and swelling occurs.  
🗑
Bone Repair Step 2   Fibrocartilage forms between the break and new blood vessels fill the gap.  
🗑
Bone Repair Step 3   A bony callus starts to form by osteoblasts and replaces the fibrocartilage.  
🗑
Bone Repair Step 4   Over the next few months, the bony callus remodels itself to form a more sturdy patch on the fracture site.  
🗑
Tuberosity   Large, rounded projection; may be roughened.  
🗑
Condyle   Rounded articular projection.  
🗑
Articulate (Articulation)   Joint where two bones meet.  
🗑
Sinus   Cavity withing bone, filled with air and lined with mucous membrane.  
🗑
Epicondyle   Raised area on or above a condyle.  
🗑
Process   Any bone prominence.  
🗑
Crest   Narrow ridge of bone; usually prominent.  
🗑
Trochanter   Very large, blunt, irregularly shaped process (the only examples are on femur).  
🗑
Foramen   Round or oval opening through a bone.  
🗑
Facet   Smooth, nearly flat articular surface.  
🗑
Fossa   Shallow, basin-like depression in bone, often serving as an articular surface.  
🗑
Meatus   Canal-like passageway.  
🗑
Parts of Skeleton (2)   Axial, Appendicular.  
🗑
Axial   Skull, Thoracic Cage, Vertebral Column.  
🗑
Appendicular   Limbs, Pectoral Girdle, Pelvic Girdle.  
🗑
