100

This type of bone marrow is specialized for producing blood cells

red bone marrow

100

This is the general term for the process of bone formation

Ossification

100

The shoulder, pelvis, and limbs are part of this skeletal division

appendicular skeleton

100

This hormone, secreted by the thyroid, helps lower high blood calcium levels

calcitonin

100

This sprain grade involves complete ligament tearing and severe joint instability

grade 3 sprain

200

This type of bone is composed of trabeculae and contains red bone marrow

Spongy bone

200

These bone cells break down bone matrix and release minerals into the blood

Osteoclasts

200

This region of the vertebral column has 12 bones

thoracic

200

This disease causes soft bones due to a calcium salt deficiency

Rickets

200

This type of fracture results from forces pushing ends of a bone together, often seen in spinal injuries

compression fracture

300

This knee ligament prevents forward sliding of the tibia

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)

300

This center of ossification develops in the epiphyses during endochondral ossification

Secondary Ossification Center

300

These fluid-filled sacs reduce friction between tendons and bones

bursae

300

This condition, involving an abnormal level of calcium in the blood, causes spasms or tetany

hypocalcemia

300

Name this class of lever: Fulcrum -> Load -> Effort

2nd class lever

400

These tiny openings in the diaphysis allow arteries to enter and nourish the bone

nutrient foramina

400

This states that the architecture of bone is determined by mechanical stresses placed on it and how bones adapt to withstand those stresses

Wolff's Law of Bone

400

The joint between the radius and ulna that allows pronation and supination is called this

radioulnar joint

400

This disease, also called “brittle bone disease,” is due to a lack of collagen

osteogenesis imperfecta

400

This type of joint allows movement in only one plane, like the elbow

hinge joint

500

The bone feature that houses the pituitary gland is part of this cranial bone

sphenoid bone

500

These are the four stages of fracture healing, in order

hematoma formation, soft callus formation, hard callus formation, and bone remodeling

500

This ring of fibrocartilage surrounds the socket of the hip joint

Acetabular labrum

500

This is the normal range of blood calcium levels

9.2 to 10.4 mg/dL

500

This ligament connects the radius and ulna at the elbow and allows for the pivoting motion needed for pronation and supination

annular ligament
