types of bones
This bone has 2 ends and a shaft.
This is a stem cell that will develop into osteoblasts.
What is an osteogenic cell?
This stores fat in a long bone and is found in the medullary cavity.
What is yellow marrow?
This disease softens bones because collagen is deficient. It is an inherited disorder.
What is osteogenesis imperfecta?
This suture connects the frontal bone and parietal bones.
What is the coronal suture?
This bone is rectangle/cubed shape.
What is a short bone?
This cell forms new bone/builds new bone.
What is an osteoblast?
This is the tightly packed outer portion of a long bone that provides rigidity.
What is compact bone?
This disease causes cartilage at the end of bones to breakdown, the joint space narrows, and the joint is inflamed.
This suture connects the 2 parietal bones.
What is the sagittal suture?
This bone has many projections coming off of it - variety of shapes
What is an irregular bone?
This is a bone cell that maintains mineral concentration like calcium.

What is red marrow?
This disease causes decreased bone density - it usually occurs in older adults.
What is osteoporosis?
This suture connects the parietal and occipital bones.
What is the lambdoid suture?
This bone is plate-like.
What is a flat bone?
This cell breaks down bone - dissolves old and damaged bone tissue.
What is an osteoclast?
This is the web-like inner portion of bone which decreases the mass of a bone.
What is spongy bone?
This bone disorder causes an abnormal curvature of the spine.
What is scoliosis?
This suture connects the temporal and parietal bones.
What is the squamous suture?
This bone is found imbedded in tendons.
What is a sesamoid bone?
This is where growth of a bone occurs.
What is the epiphyseal plate?
