General Bone
This type of joint includes ball-and-socket and hinge varieties.
What is a synovial joint?
This forearm bone has the radial tuberosity.
What is the radius?
This thigh bone contains the linea aspera.
What is the femur?
These vertebrae contain transverse foramina for the vertebral arteries.
What are cervical vertebrae?
This paired cranial bone contains the supraorbital notch and the frontal sinuses.
This paired cranial bone contains the supraorbital notch and the frontal sinuses.
These are the two primary components of bone—one organic and one inorganic.
What are collagen and hydroxyapatite?
The olecranon process belongs to this bone.
What is the ulna?
This large, weight-bearing bone has a prominent tibial tuberosity.
What is the tibia?
The vertebra with the dens/odontoid process is this number.
What is C2 (Axis)?
These lines on the parietal bone mark the attachment of the temporalis muscle.
What are the temporal lines?
This plane divides the body into left and right halves.
What is the sagittal plane?
This carpal bone articulates with the thumb metacarpal (MC1).
What is the trapezium (greater multangular)?
This ankle bone articulates with both the tibia and fibula.
What is the talus?
Ribs 11–12 are classified as this type because they have no sternal articulation.
What are floating ribs?
This part of the occipital bone articulates with the atlas (C1).
What are the occipital condyles?
This bone cell type is responsible for resorption (removal) of bone tissue.
What are osteoclasts?
On the humerus, this indentation accommodates the ulna during extension.
What is the olecranon fossa?
The fibula’s distal end forms this bony landmark on the lateral ankle.
What is the lateral malleolus?
This midline feature of the sacrum marks fused spinous processes.
What is the median crest/spine?
This vertical plate of the ethmoid contributes to the nasal septum.
What is the perpendicular plate?
Immature bone that forms rapidly during prenatal development or trauma repair is called this.
What is woven bone?
This groove on the ulna tracks the tendon of extensor carpi ulnaris.
What is the extensor carpi ulnaris groove?
This large, posterior femoral surface is found between the condyles.
What is the intercondylar notch?
This joint surface of the ilium articulates with the sacrum.
What is the auricular surface?
Located on the sphenoid, this saddle-shaped structure houses the pituitary gland.
What is the sella turcica?
