100

our spine is made up of individual bones called

vertebrae 

100

Inside the center of a long bone is this hollowed out cavity called...       that has an inner lining called ...

(Let's make this a TRIPLE!!!)

100 = medullary cavity 

300 = endosteum 

100

the longest leg bone

femur

100

scientific name for the jaw

(DAILY DOUBLE) - top lip bones

mandible 

maxilla

100

breastbone -- middle of your chest

sternum

200

pins, rods, metal plates are all examples of what type of fracture treatment

internal fixation 

200

Flat bones examples (list 2)

cranial bones, scapula, sternum 

200

Example of an irregular bone (DAILY DOUBLE)

vertebrae, sacrum, coccyx, and certain skull bones

200

The fracture that breaks through the skin

compound/open 

200

kneecap

patella

300

The protective layer at the outside of the bone

periosteum 

300

list the bones of the feet 

tarsals, metatarsals, phalanges 

300

Bones are connected to one another by 

(DAILY DOUBLE)

ligaments


300

minerals in bone 

calcium and phosphorus

300

what is traction 

pulling force to hold/move bones back into place/proper alignment 

400

list the types of bone cells and their jobs (looking for 3)

osteoblast - builders

osteoclasts - remodel

osteocyte - mature builder 


400

list the two types of bone marrow, their jobs and locations 

yellow, medullary cavity, store fat

red, epiphysis/in spongy bone, hemopoiesis/new blood cells 

400

list the different types of ribs and how many there are of each

7 true ribs

3 false 

2 floating

400

list 4 of the different types and fractures and explain what each is 

greenstick - kids, partial break

oblique  - diagonal

transverse - straight across

spiral - spiral, need 2 x-rays 

compression - pushed in on either side 

depressed - flat bone pushed in 

comminuted - shattered, many pieces 

400

What two things are connected by a tendon?

bone and muscle 



500

A patient arrives at the emergency department with a broken lower leg after a fall.

The doctor first manually realigns the bone without making any incision to improve its position and reduce pain.

However, imaging shows the fracture is unstable and will not stay aligned. The patient is then taken to surgery, where the surgeon makes an incision to access the bone and secures it using metal plates and screws placed inside the body.

  • First step: Closed reduction

didn't work so...

  • Final treatment: Open reduction + internal fixation
500

List all the cranial & facial bones. Be sure to indicate how many...

parietal 2

temporal 2

frontal 

occipital 

sphenoid 

ethmoid 

nasal bones 5

zygomatic 2 

maxilla 2

mandible 

palatine 2 

500

The minor jobs of the skeletal system

What is making blood cells and store fat cells, calcium, and other minerals?

500

open reduction - surgically reducing fracture 

internal fixation - securing the reduced bones internally through methods that will remain in the body (screws, plates, etc.)

500

explain bone formation in an embryo (how it starts, changes, key time frames, key terms)

start as cartilage model 

at 8 weeks ossification starts 

not complete bones at birth - fontanels 

takes 18 months for fontanels to solidify
