100
What skeletal system includes the fore and hind limbs?
Appendicular Skeleton
100
What is the main purpose of the skeleton?
To protect and support the body
100
What is cartilage?
Cartilage gives joints cushion to freely move
100
What is the diaphysis?
The long body of a bone
100
What is a simple fracture?
Bone breaks into 2 pieces
200
What type of bone is your femur and humerus?
Long bone
200
What type of bone are carpals and tarsals?
Short bones
200
What tissue connects muscles to bone?
Tendons
200
Where can you find the epiphysis on a bone?
On each end of the bone (they are the rounded pieces).
200
What type of fracture is this?
Compound Fracture
300
What is the vertebrae of the neck?
Cervical vertebrae (includes the Atlas and Axis)
300
What type of bones are vertebrae?
Irregular bones
300
What type of tissue connects bone to bone?
Ligaments
300
What part of the bone stores bone marrow?
Medullar Cavity
300
Which of the following is NOT a type of fracture?
Transverse, Comminuted, Long, Fissure, or Simple
400
What main four parts make up the Axial Skeleton?
Skull, Vertebrae, Rib Cage, and Sternum
400
What is ossification?
The process of cartilage growing into bones
400
What type of tissue comprises the skin of chicken wings?
Epithelial tissue
400
What part of the bone is this?
Endosperm (thin inner layer of connective tissue that lines the inside of bones).
400
True or False: A fissure fracture breaks both the bone and skin.
False, a fissure fracture doesn't break the skin and doesn't break through the entire bone. ("Incomplete fracture")
500
What are the two major skeletal systems and name 1 bone within each system.
Appendicular (scapula, clavicle, humerus, radius, ulna, olecranon, carpals, metacarpals, femur, patella, tibia, fibula, tarsus/tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges)
Axial (skull, vertebrae, rib cage, and sternum)
500
What are sesamoids?
Small, seed shaped bones embedded in the tendons
500
What is the difference between ligaments and tendons?
- Ligaments: Support joints and limit their movement. They also hold structures together and keep them stable.
- Tendons: Move bones or structures. They transmit muscular force to a bone
500
Name all six parts of the bone (bone marrow does not count)
Diaphysis, Epiphysis, Metaphysis, Endosperm, Periosteum, and Medullar Cavity
500
What is the difference between a transverse and a comminuted fracture?
Transverse break into 2 pieces completely horizontal across the bone while comminuted breaks into 3 or more pieces.
