These are the living tissue in bone.
What are bone tissue, cartilage, dense connective tissue, blood, and nervous tissue?
Examples of flat bones.
What are the ribs, the scapulae, and some bones of the skull?
Functional junctions between bones.
What are joints?
How bones are classified?
According to their shapes - long, short, flat, or irregular
Cylindrical surface of one bone ROTATES within a ring formed of bone and ligament. Ex: proximal and distal radioulnar joints and joints in the neck. (joint between the atlas and dens of the axis)
What are pivot joints?
These are some examples of long bones.
What are the forearm and thigh bones
Platelike structures with broad surfaces.
What are flat bones?
The 3 types of joints?
What are fibrous, cartilaginous, and synovial joints?
What are the different types of synovial joints?
a) Ball-and-socket joint
b) Hinge joint
c) Condyloid Joint
d) Gliding Joint
e) Pivot joint
f) Saddle Joint
The rounded end of one bone fits into the cuff cavity of another bone. Ex: joints between the metacarpals and phalanges, radius and carpals.
What are condylar joints?
Consists of the epiphysis, diaphysis, compact bone, spongy bone, and medullary cavity.
What are the 5 major parts of a long bone?
Example of a special short bone: sesamoid bone or round bone?
What is the patella (kneecap)?
Bones of these joints are connected by hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage.
What are cartilaginous joints?
Lie between bones that closely contact one another; generally no movement (synarthrotic)...suture between a pair of flat bones of the skull
What are fibrous joints?
Nearly flat or slightly curved that allows SLIDING or GLIDING motion. Ex: wrists and ankles, acromioclavicular, and between two vertebrae.
What are gliding joints?
Long longitudinal axes and expanded ends.
What are long bones?
Somewhat cubelike, with roughly equal lengths and widths.
What are short bones?
Lie between bones that closely contact one another; generally no movement (synarthrotic)...suture between a pair of flat bones of the skull
What are fibrous joints?
These joints allow free movement. More complex structurally than fibrous and cartilaginous joints.
What are synovial joints?
Globular shaped head that articulates with the cup-shaped cavity of another bone. Ex: shoulder and hip joints.
What are ball-and-socket joints?
Name a special type of short bone that is usually small and nodular and develops within a tendon or adjacent to a joint.
What is a sesamoid bone or round bone?
What are some examples of short bones?
What are carpals and tarsals?
Most joints in the skeletal system; allow free movement. More complex structurally than fibrous and cartilaginous joints.
What are synovial joints?
Bones of these joints are connected by hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage.
What are cartilaginous joints?
The convex surface of one bone fits into the concave surface of another. Ex: elbow, knee, and joints of the phalanges.
What are hinge joints?
Bones with a variety of shapes and most are connected to several other bones.
What are irregular bones?
What are some examples of irregular bones?
The vertebrae that compose the backbone, and many facial bones.
How do compact and spongy bone differ in structure? Describe how they look.
Compact bone is tightly packed with no gaps found in the diaphysis of long bones.
Spongy bone is found in the epiphysis of long bone and consists of numerous branching bony plates called trabeculae.
Most joints in the skeletal system
What are synovial joints?
Forms between bones whose articulating surfaces have both concave and convex regions. Ex: between the carpal and metacarpal of the thumb.
What are saddle joints?
