Acromion

Calcaneus
Cal-ca-ne-o
Heel bone
Cauda equina
Ca-ud-a
E-qu-in-a
Starting at the top of the lumbar spine and extending down the length of the spine this is the bundle of spinal nerves and roots that provide sensory and motor function to the bladder and legs
Clavicle
Cla-vi-cu-la
Aka collarbone - it is rather of two small bones connected to the scapula and sternum to form the front part of the shoulder
Cervical
Cer-vi-cal
Pertaining to the neck- the neck is formed by 7 vertebrae- together called the cervical spine
Cruciate ligament
Li-ga-men-to
Cru-za-do
Tow are located in each knee and attach to the front of the tibia and back of the femur - their primary function is to prevent hyper extension
Facet Joint
Ar-ti-cu-la-ci-on
Fa-ce-tar-i-a
Joints located between two vertebrae in the spine with synovial fluid to cushion movement
Femur
Fe-mur
Though bone -long strong bone that connects the hip to the knee
Fibia and Tibia
Fi-bu-la y Ti-bu-la

Jawbone
Man-i-bu-la
Usually lower jawbone or mandible - it is connected to the lower part of the skull and shapes the lower face forming the structure of the mouth
Joint
Ar-ti-cu-la-ci-on
Fixed or movable part where tow structures especially bones meet
Ligament
Li-ga-men-to
Tough five rows flexible connective tissue that holds together a joint by connecting bones or cartilages
Lumbar spine
Es-pi-na lum-bar
Located in the mid to lower back it is made up of 5 vertebral bodies stacked one on top of another separated by vertebral disks.
Metacarpals and metatarsals
Me-ta-car-pi-an-os =5 hand bones
Me-ta-tar-si-an-os= 5 toe bones
Patella
Ro-tu-la
Kneecap
Phalanges
Fa-lan-ges

Ra-di-o y Cu-bi-to
Located in the forearm running parallel to each other- they connect the upper arm bone the numerous to the hand
Scapula
O-mo-pla-to
Shoulder blade
Skull
Cra-ne-o
Spine
Es-pin-a dor-sal
