100
The bone that is surrounded by and formed in tendon (example patella and pisiform)

What are sesamoid bones? 

100

The part of the bone that is a bony outgrowth to which muscles attach. 

What is apophysis?

100

Standing upright, head faces forward, arms at side, palms face forward, thumbs pointed outward, feet flat and toes pointing outward. 

What is the standard anatomical position?

100

The helper muscle that keeps range of motion in line. 

What is the stabilizer?

100

Immovable joints of the skull. 

What are sutures?

200

Also called supernumerary, they are extra bones in the body. 

What are accessory bones?

200

The part of the bone that is the shaft. 

What is diaphysis?

200

Away from the midline of the body.

What is lateral?

200

The muscle helps stabilize movement so there will be no dislocation. 

What is synergist?

200

An immovable joint. 

What is synarthrodial?

300

These bones are sometimes the result of bone not fusing or differential development. For example an unfused frontal bone. 

What are bipartite bones?

300

The membranous surface that covers the outside of the bone. 

What is the periosteal surface?

300

Nearest articulation with the axial skeleton.

What is proximal?

300

Connects bone to bone OR bone to cartilage.

What is a ligament?

300

Rotating to a prone position (like palm facing backwards)

What is pronation?

400

These bones are solid, dense, and very strong. They are the outer edges of all bone. 

What is compact bone? OR What is cortex?

400

The 30% organic component of bone. 

What is collagen?

400

Divides the body into anterior and posterior halves.

What is coronal?

400

The primary moving muscle and the opposing mover to that primary.  

What are the agonist and antagonist muscles?

400

What flexing occurs when you point your toes upward?

what is dorsiflexion?

500

This bone structure lies under articular cartilage and contains marrow. It also contains microscopic vascular canals that nourish said cartilage. 

What is a subchondral bone?

500

The supporting bundles of bony fibers in cancellous bone.

What are trabeculae?

500

A horizontal cut anywhere there is perpendicular to sagittal and coronal planes. 

What is transverse?

500

Connects muscle to bone. 

What are tendons?

500

Slightly movable joints like the pubis symphysis.

What are cartilaginous joints?
