What is a bunion?
200
This part of the skeleton consists of the center or axis (cranium, vertebrae, and sternum). It has 80 bones.
What is the axial skeleton?
300
This attaches or connects bone to bone in a joint.
What is a ligament?
300
These are the two bones in the lower leg.
What is the tibia and fibula?
300
When muscle is torn away from the tibia and/or the fibula
What are shin splints?

500
This is the process by which bone is formed, renewed, and repaired?
What is ossification?
500
Loss of muscle tone due to lack of use of the muscle
What is atrophy?
500
