Naming and classifying parts
Name a long bone and a flat bone.
Long: femur, radius, ulna, tibia, etc.
Flat: skull, ribs, sternum, scapula, hip
fracture occurring typically in children in which one side of the bone is broken and the other is only bent
Greenstick fracture

scoliosis
Attach bones to bones
Ligaments

Build new bone.
Name a short bone and an irregular bone.
Short: Carpals, tarsals
Irregular: vertebrae, facial bones

Tibia
What is a break of the bone into more than one fragment?
Comminuted fracture
Condition in which bones become very brittle due to a lack of organic compounds like Vitamin C.

Type of bone found in the epiphysis of long bones.
Cancellous bone.
