Dense bone that has a compact arrangement of hard inorganic material forming osteons. It forms the shaft of long bones and covers all bones.
What is Compact bone
100
A break or rupture of a bone.
What is Fracture
100
The bone that forms the posterior and base of the skull.
What is Occipital bone
100
The large projection on the proximal, lateral end of the femur.
What is Greater Trochanter
200
A shallow depression in the surface or at the end of a bone.
What is a Fossa
200
The smooth, slippery, porous, and malleable cartilage that remains on the ends of bones where they come together to form a joint. Made of hyaline cartilage.
What is Articular cartilage
200
A pathology involving muscle strain and potential hairline fracture of the tibia.
What is Shin Splints
200
The most inferior portion of the sternum that is used as a landmark for CPR. Chest compressions must be above the structure to avoid breaking it off.
What is Xiphoid Process
200
The lateral forearm bone. The proximal end (head) articulates with the capitulum of the humerus. The distal end forms the wrist joint with Scaphoid, Lunate, and Triquetrum.
What is Radius
300
A rounded projection at the end of a bone that articulates with other bones to form a joint.
What is Condyle
300
Dense bundles of parallel connective tissue that connects bones to each other.
What is Ligaments
300
A pathology that develops from strain or injury to the plantar fascia of the foot as felt by a deep sharp sensation felt at the arch and at the attachment of the heel.
What is Plantar Fasciiis
300
The most inferior two pairs of ribs. They attach posteriorly to the vertebral column but have no attachment anteriorly.
What is Floating ribs
300
A sesmoid bone that forms within the quadriceps tendon.
What is Patella
400
A large, bony process found only on the femur.
What is Trochanter
400
A layer of connective tissue that covers bones. Contains blood and lymph vessels, nerves, and bone cells.
What is Periosteum
400
A disorder of the bone in which calcium and other minerals are lacking and bone protein is diminished. Bones become soft, fragile and more likely to break.
What is Osteoporosis
400
Formed by the 12 pairs of ribs and sternum. It protects the heart, lung as well as other structures in this area.
What is Thorax/thoracic cavity
400
The posterior portion of the shoulder girdle. Posterior surface contains supraspinous and infraspinous fossas, anterior surface is the subscapular fossa.
What is Scapula
500
A large, rounded protuberance.
What is Tuberosity
500
The ability to produce electrical current when deformed or compressed, especially in a crystalline substance such as bone matrix. When electric currents pass through them, these substances deform slightly and vibrate.
What is Piezoelectric
500
A disease that affects the tibial tuberosity.The tuberosity becomes inflamed or separates from the tibia because of irritation caused when the patellar ligament pulls on the tuberosity during periods of rapid growth or overuse of the quads.
What is Osgood-Schlatter Disease
500
Formed by five regions: cervical (7 bones), thoracic (12 bones), lumbar (5 bones), sacrum (5 bones fused) and coccyx (4 - 5 bones fused)
What is Vertebral Column
500
Comprised of three bones: superior ilium, inferior ischium, and anterior pubic bone. All three bones come together to form the acetabulum.
