1.1 Bones Flashcards
Directional Terms
Words that describe the location of one structure in relationship to another or specific locations on an organ or bone.
Regional Terms
Words that describe specific regions or locations on the body
Body Planes
Words that act like a coordinate system to describe a human in the anatomical position
Anatomical Planes
A hypothetical plane used to intersect the body in order to describe the location of structures or the direction of movement.
Axillary Skeleton

Three type of muscle tissue
smooth muscle
skeletal muscle
cardiac muscle
Type of involuntary muscle
smooth muscle
Cardiac muscle
Type of voluntary muscle
skeletal muscle
Orbicularis oculi
sphincter muscle around the upper and lower eyelids; contraction closes the eye
Orbicularis oris
Attaches to dermis of upper and lower lip where many facial muscle attach
Temporallis
Mostly covers the temporal bone and helps open and close the lower jaw and move it side to side
Compact bone
a solid and hard bone that makes up the outer layer of all bones and the shaft of long bones
Spongy bone
a porous bone found in mammals containing red bone marrow
Flat bone
spongy bone between two thin layers of compact bone; have marrow but not cavity
Examples of flat bone
skull, frontal nasal; thoracic cage, pelvis
Long bone
shaft and two ends
longer than wide
thick outer layer with marrow filled cavity
Irregular bone
thin layer of spongy bone surrounded by compact bone, and don’t fit any other description
Short bone
roughly a cube shape bone
carpal and tarsals
only bone not connected to other bones
Hyoid
Radiology
a branch of medicine that uses imaging technology to diagnose and treat disease
fracture
a crack or break in a bone
compression force
occurs when a physical force presses inward on an object causing it to become compacted
osteoblast
a bone forming cell
osteoclasts
any of the large multinucleated cells closely associated with areas of bone resorption (healing fracture)
responsible for break down and reabsorption of bone
callus
fibrous tissues and cartilage that replaces the blood clot at the fracture site
xray
a type of radiation that uses electromagnetic waves to produce an image of the bones (inside of the body) in black and white
Ultrasound
imaging the uses sound waves to produce a picture of the inside of the body
MRI
Imaging that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to generate an image
a solid and hard bone that makes up the outer layer of all bones and the shaft of long bones
Compact bone
a porous bone found in mammals containing red bone marrow
spongy bone
