Growth & Development
Primary ossification centers can be found in the ____ of long bones.
what is diaphysis?
In intercarpal or intertarsal joints, bones can carry out a _____ movement, which is when one bone "slides" past each other.
What is gliding?
A flattened, fibrous sac lined with synovial membrane and containing synovial fluid. It helps reduces friction in areas.
What is bursae?
The spongy bone is made up of _______, which look like interconnecting rods.
What is trabeculae?
The teeth, with the periodontal ligament, are the only example of this fibrous joint type. "Peg in socket"
What is gomphosis?
Secondary ossification centers are found in the ____ of long bones.
What is epiphysis?
The largest and strongest bone in the body.
What is the femur?
what is 9-11 mg/dL ?
The structural unit of compact bone.
what is an osteon?
The only joint class with a cavity. They are typically diarthrotic.
What is synovial?
The _____ adds bone to existing bone while the osteoclast is responsible for resorption.
what is osteoblast?
The hip socket is known as the:
What is the acetabulum?
The _____ cruciate ligament attaches to the tibia to prevent forward sliding of the tibia and stops hyperextension of knee.
Bone structures of the appendicular skeleton that connect limbs to the axial skeleton are called this. The body has two, the pectoral and pelvic ______.
What is a girdle?
This cartilaginous joint type unites bones through fibrocartilage. They are strong and amphiarthrotic.
What is sympheses?
The _______ gland secretes PTH, a hormone that "tells" osteoclasts to begin bone resorption.
what is parathyroid?
The first cervical vertebrae, C1, is also known as:
Angular movement away from the midline.
What is abduction?
This bone is called the "keystone bone" because it connects to all the cranial bones in the skull. It has a bat-like shape.
What is sphenoid bone?
In synovial joints, the _____ ______ is a viscuos, slippery filtrate of plasma and hyaluronic acid that lubricates and nourishes articular cartilage.
What is synovial fluid?
Long bone structure has hyaline cartilage. As the person ages, that cartilage is eventually replaced by bone. This process is known as _____ ossification.
what is endochondral?
The skull, vertebrae, and thoracic cage all make up this skeletal division.
What is axial skeleton?
When the angle of a joint is decreased this angular movement is occurring.
What is flexion?
The only bone in the body that does not articulate directly with another bone.
What is hyoid bone?
The range of motion where movement is only allowed in planes.
What is biaxial?
