WITH COMPLETE SOLUTIONS VERIFIED
Axial Skeleton
portion of the skeletal system that consists of the skull, rib cage, and vertebral column
Appendicular skeleton
bones of the shoulder, pelvis, and upper and lower extremities
Cartilage
resilient, semirigid connective tissue that forms parts of the skeletal system where more
flexibility is necessary; avascular
Bone Functions
support, protection, movement, storage, blood cell formation
Compact bone
provides strength for weight bearing
Spongy bone
provides blood cells & platelet formation (trabecular)
Medullary Cavity
where RBC's & platelets are made
Periosteum
fibrous connective tissue surrounding bone; fracture healing; nourish tissue; interface
for attachment of tendons & ligaments; removal = bone death
Long bone
,tubular (i.e., humerus, femur, etc.)
Short bone
cuboidal (i.e., ONLY in ankle & wrist)
Flat bone
protective (i.e., cranium, scapula, sternum, etc)
Irregular bone
irregular shape (i.e., vertebrae, facial bones, etc.)
Sesamoid bone
formed within a tendon; create mechanical advantage (i.e., patella)
Condyle
rounded articular area (i.e., _________ of femur)
Crest
ridge of bone (i.e., iliac _______)
Epicondyle
eminence superior to condyle (i.e., _________ of humerus)

hollow or depressed area (i.e., infraspinous ________ of scapula)
Line (linea)
linear elevation (i.e., soleal ________ of tibia)
, Malleolus
rounded prominence (i.e., lateral ________ of fibula)
Notch
indentation @ edge of bone (i.e., greater sciatic _______ in hip bone)
Process
projecting spine-like part (i.e., spinous ________ of vertebrae)
Protuberance
projection of bone (i.e., external occipital ________ of cranium)
Spine
thorn-like process (i.e., _______ of scapula)
Trochanter
large, blunt elevation (i.e., greater _______ of femur)
Tubercle
small, raised eminence (i.e., greater ______ of humerus)
Tuberosity
large, rounded elevation (i.e., ischial ________ of hip bone)
Intramembranous ossificiation
membrane bone develops from fibrous membrane(formed by mesenchymal cells)
Endochondral ossification
process of transforming cartilage into bone
Diaphysis
shaft of bone; primary ossification center
Epiphysis
