General Bones
Number of bones in the human body as an adult
206
The top and bottom of the bone are called this.
Epiphysis
There are this many bones in the appendicular skeleton.
126
What are teh five areas that make up the axial skeleton?
Skull/cranium, vertebral column, sternum, rib cage
Bone growth starts at this part of a long bone
middle of the shaft
Name 3 functions of the skeletal system
support, protection of organs, attachments for muscles, movement, storage for minerals, red blood cell production
The cartilage at the end of the bones is called this.
Articular cartilage
Name the 6 main bones/parts of the upper extremity from proximal to distal.
clavicle, scapula, humerus, ulna, radius, carpals (or wrist/hand)
Name the four main parts of the skull. Hint: these are also the lobes of the brain.
frontal, temporal, parietal, occipital
Bone-building cells are called this.
Osteoblasts
Name 3 types of bones and for one type, give a specific example
flat (ribs, scapula), long (ulna, femur, humerus), irregular (vertebrae), short (carpals, tarsals), sesamoid (patella)
From anatomical position, name the 3 long bones in the arm and their placement. For example: the femur is proximal, the tibia is medial and the fibula is lateral
Humerus is proximal, ulna is medial, radius is lateral
Name the bone that is broken the most in the body.
clavicle
From proximal to distal, name the 6 parts of the vertebral column
cervical, thoracic, lumbar, sacrum, coccyx
The process that hardens the bone
Calcification
Name 3 types of projections OR depressions on a bone
Head, process, crest, spine, foramen, sinus, fossa
Name the 2 types of bone tissues in a long bone
spongy and compact
Name two ways you can tell the difference between a male and female pelvis
Male - heart-shaped, coccyx projected inward, denser
Female - pubic arch wider, oval shape, coccyx straighter and more flexible
Name the 2 special cervical vertebrae and what they do.
Atlas, axis - allow for rotation of the neck
Name 3 different types of breaks that could happen to a bone.
comminuted, displaced, non-displaced, open/compound, spiral, greenstick, compression, avulsion
How many bones is an infant born with?
300
Including the tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges, there are this many bones in the foot.
26
How many tarsal bones are there and name 2 of them.
7
Talus, calcaneus, navicular, cuboid, cuneiforms
Name the 3 types of ribs AND the cartilage that connects to the sternum.
True, false, floating
Costal cartilage
State the number of stages of bone repair, and describe what happens at each stage.
4 stages:
1 - blot clot forms
2 - fibrocartilaginous callus replaces damaged bone
3 - fibrocartilaginous callus turns into a bony callus
4 - osteoblasts make compact bone
