Name the five types of bones.

Flat, irregular, short, long, and sesamoid.

100


What is the name of the highlighted bone?

Mandible
100

Define endochondral and intramembranous ossification.

Endochondral: Hyaline cartilage serves as the template for bone formation.

Intramembranous: Compact and spongy bones are formed from mesenchymal tissue.

100

What type of movement is demonstrated in the image?

Flexion

100

What is the most important phrase in anatomy?

Structure determines function!

200

This category of bones is distinguished by their smooth surfaces that allow for muscle attachment.

Flat Bones

200

What is the function of short bones? (Structure determines function.)

Short bones provide flexibility, stability, and aid in movement.

200

What is the name of the structures represented by letter B?

Epiphysis

200

What type of synovial joint is demonstrated in the image?

Ball and socket

200

What structures are highlighted in the image?

Metatarsals

300


What is the name of this bone? What type of bone is it?

Femur - long

300

Name the bone highlighted in green. 

Fibula 

(Bonus 100: How would you describe the location of the green bone in regards to the blue bone using anatomically language?)

300

Define appositional versus interstitial growth. Where does each type of growth primarily occur?

Appositional: Bone growth in diameter. Most commonly seen in the diaphysis.

Interstitial: Bone growth in length . Most commonly seen in the epiphysis.

300

How many names does each type of joint have? What are the categories of each name? What does each name tell us?

2

One is the anatomical name and one is the physiological name.

The anatomical name tells us the joint make up, and the physiological movement tells us how well the joint moves.

300

What bones are highlighted in the image? What type of bone are they?

Pelvis - flat

400

What is the name of this bone? What type of bone is it?

Irregular - sacrum 

400

What is the name of this bone? What type of bone is it?

Manubrium - flat

400

What structure is demonstrated by letter C? What type of growth occurs here?

Epiphyseal plate - interstitial growth

400

What are the 2 names for each of the 3 joint types?

Fibrous - Synarthrosis

Cartilaginous - Amphiarthrosis 

Synovial - Diarthrosis

400

Identify the bone in the image. What type of bone is it? What is its common name?

Patella - sesamoid - knee cap

500

What is the name of this bone? What type of bone is it?

Radius - long

500

Name the three different vertebral sections we discussed in class. 

100 Bonus Points: Name the green and red sections.

Orange: Cervical 

Pink: Thoracic 

Blue: Lumbar 

(Green: Sacral - Red: Coccyx)

500

Define osteoblast, osteoclast, and osteocytes.

Osteoclasts: Bone cells that are responsible for degrading old bone.

Osteoblasts: Bone cells that produce osteoid (new bone).

Osteocyte: Bone cells that maintain bone tissue and support the matrix.

500

Give an example of each type of joint.

Diarthrosis: Knee and shoulder

Synarthrosis: Cranial sutures and teeth sockets 

Amphiarthrosis: Pubic symphysis and vertebrae 

500

What is the function of each type of bone?

Short - flexibility/ wide range of movement

Long - support and aids in mechanical movement

Irregular - protects nerves

Flat - Protect tissue

Sesamoid - reduces friction
