Diaphysis
artery
# of bones in the human body
206
joint allowing only gliding movements
Plane Joints
allows only bending and straightening at a ojint
hinge joint
tissue covering the epiphysis
cartilage
area where bone marrow is housed
medullary cavity of diaphysis
spongey bone of epiphysis
bones of the arms, legs, shoulder, hips
appendicular skeleton
fluid filling the space between bones
synovial fluid
joints allowing all movements
ball and socket
epiphyseal plate
"growth plate"
Epiphyseal plate
joints with space between the bones, allows the greatest amount of movement
synovial joints
convex end of one bone sits within a deep concave end of another bone
hinge joint
condyloid joint
rounded, ends of bone
epiphysis
outer covering of the diaphysis
periosteum
the rib cage, skulls, vertebral column
axial skeleton
connective tissue capsule around a joint
synovial membrane
joint allowing only rotation
pivot joint
hollow space within the diaphysis
medullary cavity
process of cartilage turning to bone
ossification
difference between yellow and red bone marrow
yellow - fat storage
red - blood cell formation
oval convex end of a bone sits within concave end of another bone
condyloid joint
both bones of a joint have concave and convex surfaces that interlock
