Parts of a long bone
epiphysis
bones and muscles working together to create precise movements
movement
bones that are longer than they are wide, found in the limbs
long
the act of bending at a joint or limb
flexion
a joint that moves on a single plane, like opening and closing a door
hinge
the shaft/long tubular structure of the long bone
diaphysis
give the body structure with some bones which are stronger than concrete
support
cube shaped bones, typically not very large
short
twisting the arm in so that the palm faces down
pronation
a round shaped bone rests in a cup shaped bone and this joint permits all types of movement
ball and socket
the tissue between bones that allows for smooth movement
articular cartilage
bones surround delicate tissues and organs
protection
thin/broad bones with a large surface area, typically serve as muscle attachments
flat
rotating at the ankle so the sole of the foot faces inwards
inversion
flat articular surface, small movements, bones slide across each other at this joint.
gliding joint
line that separates diaphysis from epiphysis, growth plate
epiphysial line
bones store marrow, nutrients, minerals, blood cells, and more
storage
bones that don't fit into any category due to their complex shapes
irregular
the act of pushing a part outwards such as the jaw
protraction
only permit rotation, found in the atlas and axis
pivot joints
periosteum
main cite of blood cell production in the spongy tissue of the bone marrow
hematopoiesis
small bones embedded in or attached by tendone
sesamoid
the act of moving a body part upwards, shrugging your shoulders
elevation
the articular surface of the joint resembles a saddle
saddle joint
