All terms in this list:
zygomatic bone: cheek bone
vertebral foramen: canal through which spinal cord passes
types of synovial joints: plane, hinge, pivot, ball-and-socket (condyloid and saddle)
true ribs: first 7 pairs of ribs; attach directly to sternum
true pelvis: surrounded by bone and lies inferior to flaring parts of the ilia; passage for infant at birth in women
tibia: shinbone
third step of bone fracture repair: bony callus is formed
things stored by the bones: fat, calcium, phosphorous
tendon sheath: elongated bursa that wraps completely around a tendon subjected to friction
tarsus: posterior half of foot
talus: ankle
synovial joints: bone ends separated by joint cavity w/synovial fluid; i.e knee
synarthroses: immovable joint
suture: immovable joint in the cranium
structural classification of joints: fibrous; cartilaginous; synovial
spongy bone: bone composed of small, needlelike pieces; lots of space
spiral: break that occurs from excessive twisting
shoulder girdle: clavicle and scapula
sella turcica: depression in sphenoid bone that holds pituitary gland
second step of bone fracture repair: break is splinted by fibrocartilage
sagittal suture: connects two parietal bones together
reduction: realignment of broken bone ends
pubis: most anterior part of hip bone
plane joint: short slipping or gliding movements; i.e. carpals
pivot joint: rotating bone turns around an axis; i.e. connection between radius/ulna and humerus
periosteum: connective tissue membrane surrounding diaphysis
pelvic girdle: two coxal bones (aka hip bones)
patellar surface: smooth area where patella rests to form knee cap
ostoblasts: bone-forming cells
osteocytes: mature bone cells
osteoclasts: bone-destroying cells
ossification: process of bone formation
open fracture: bone fracture that breaks through the skin
metatarsals: sole of the foot
metacarpals: bones of the palm
mandible: only bone with a movable joint in the face
lacrimal bone: allows tears to travel down
ischium: most inferior part of hip bone; the "sit down" bone
invertebral discs: pads of flexible fibrocartilage that cushion between vertebrae
interosseous membrane: flexible membrane connecting radius and ulna & tibia and fibula
impacted: broken bone ends are forced into each other
ilia: large, flaring bone portion of hip bones
hyoid bone: only bone that does not directly come in contact with other bones
hinge joint: angular movement allowed in one plane; i.e. elbow
greenstick: incomplete break
glenoid cavity: socket in scapular that receives head of humerus
functions of the bone: support, protection, movement, storage, blood cell formation
functions of joints: hold bones together; give mobility
functional classification of joints: synarthroses; amphiarthroses; diarthroses
fourth step of bone fracture repair: bone remodeling occurs
foramen magnum: large opening in occipital bone that allows spinal cord to attach to brain
foot arch: ligaments and tendons hold bones in foot together providing springiness
fontanels: fibrous membrane connecting cranial bones in fetuses
floating ribs: last two pairs of ribs; do not attach to sternum
first step of bone fracture repair: hematoma is formed
fibrous joints: united by fibrous tissue; i.e. sutures
femur: thigh bone
features of synovial joints: articular cartilage; fibrous articular capsule; joint cavity; reinforcing ligaments
false ribs: last 5 pairs of ribs; attach indirectly to sternum
false pelvis: superior to true pelvis
