ANATOMY OF A BONE
Found on the end of long bones; smooth, slippery, bloodless to prevent grinding of bone at joints
Articular Cartilage
How many total bones are in the body
206
Bones working together with muscles to produce controlled precise movements.
Movement
A chamber within a bone normally filled with air
Sinus
Slightly moveable joints
Amphiarthrotic
Also known as the growth plate, starts as cartilage and over time becomes hardened bone
Epiphyseal Line
production of blood cells
Carpals and Tarsals fall into this classification of bone
Short
Movement of a limb towards the midline of the body
Ad- Duction or
Adduction
Joint that permits only rotation
Pivot
Provides nutrient rich blood for bone repair, growth, and cell development. Supportive covering for the bone
Periosteum
These must be rigid and unyielding/strong to fulfill their function
Bones
This classification of bone includes the scapula, cranial bones, sternum and ribs
Flat
A turning around on an axis internally or externally
Rotation
Joint that permits angular motion but not rotation
Saddle
Part of the bone that is dense and contains yellow bone marrow
Diaphysis
This is the framework of bones, cartilage, ligaments and other connective tissues
The skeletal system
What function do the following represent:
Skull to the brain
Vertebral column to the spinal cord
Ribs and Sternum to the heart and lungs
Protection
A tunnel or hole in a bone for blood vessels and/or nerves to pass through
Foramen
Bone shatters at the site of impact with small fragments found between the two main sections
Comminuted fracture
End of long bone, contains red spongy bone marrow.
Epiphysis
How many functions of the skeletal system are there
5
This type of bone is the patella and under the big toe or 1st metatarsal
Sesamoid
Forearm movement that turns the palm to face downward
Pronation
Occurs at the distal end of the fibula usually from an eversion ankle sprain
Potts fracture
