General bone knowledge
Bone Tissue
Bones of the Axial Skeleton
Bones of the Appendicular skeleton
Joints
100
One of the main functions of the skeletal system. Also known as making red blood cells.
What is Hematopoiesis?
100
This is considered a mature bone cell, which helps maintain bone structure and composition.
What is an Osteoblast?
100
These major bones make up the Axial skeleton. For credit please give at least 3.
What is the Skull? The vertebrae? The sacrum? The coccyx? The Sternum? The ribs?
100
This type of bone is found in the carpals and the tarsals
What are short bones?
100
This structure made of hyaline connective tissue is found at the end of long bones and acts as a cushion for the bones.
What is articular cartilage?
200
This term (part of a bone) refers to a cavity of air inside of a bone. It holds air and can help you equalize on a plane.
What is a sinus?
200
This type of bone tissue is has a holey structure where the bone makes a lattice structure also known as trabeculae
What is Spongy Bone?
200
This blue bone makes up the upper jaw
What is the Maxilla?
200
This bone (see above) makes up part of the appendicular skeleton.
What is the humerus?
200
This type of fibrous joint is found between skull bones.
What is a suture?
300
When blood calcium gets too high, the thyroid gland releases this hormone to bring it back down. Causing bone building and increased excretion of calcium from the blood.
What is calcitonin
300
When blood calcium is too low, hormones work to bring it up. This cell is acted on by these hormones to cut away bone and increase the net blood calcium levels.
What are Osteoclasts?
300
This structure separates the Parietal and Temporal bones.
What is the squamous suture?
300
This bone has a greater and lesser Trochanter as well as a medial and lateral condyle.
What is the femur?
300
The structure and the tissue of the structure that connects bone to bone
What is a ligament? AND What is dense regular connective tissue?
400
These two hormones increase blood calcium levels through mechanisms such as increased absorption, decreased excretion, and breaking down bones
What are Vitamin D (Calcitriol)/PTH (parathyroid hormone)
400
This outer membrane that surrounds bone tissue is made out of 2 layers. The superficial fibrous layer is made out of this connective tissue.
What is the periosteum? What is Dense Irregular Connective Tissue?
400
This hole in the skull is where the spinal cord and brain are connected.
What is the Foramen Magnum
400
This large bone makes up the heel
What is the calcaneus?
400
:background_color(FFFFFF):format(jpeg)/images/article/coracoclavicular-ligament/xSQzvZ4sJvddhXwn5iKXaQ_Wviyodz2L9s0cCTIK65hAA_Ligamentum_coracoclaviculare_01.jpg){kind=logo}
This ligament connects the Clavicle to a process on the front of the scapula
What is the coracoclavicular ligament?
500
This type of fracture occurs when a bone breaks because it has been weakened by disease, such as osteoporosis or cancer, rather than by normal trauma alone.
What is a pathogenic fracture?
500
This type of ossification forms most long bones by replacing a hyaline cartilage model with bone tissue during development.
What is endochondral ossification?
500
This part of the ethmoid bone contains openings that allow the olfactory nerve to pass from the nasal cavity to the brain, enabling the sense of smell.
What is the cribriform plate?
500
This bone has structures like the Acetabulum, Lesser Sciatic notch, a tuberosity and a spine.
What is the Ischium
500
This type of synovial joint allows two bones to glide past each other, as seen when shrugging the shoulders.
What is a plane joint?
