appendicular skeleton Flashcards
appendicular skeleton
bones of the limbs
2 basic types of bone tissue (texture) and their descriptions
compact bone-dense
spongy bone-small columns w/ open spaces
2 ways bones are classified
shape and texture
4 bone shapes and an example of each
- long-femur
- short-carpals
- flat-scapula
- irregular-vertebrae
- what is the name of the proximal and distal ends of a long bone
- what type of bone texture does it contain
- epiphysis
- spongy bone
- what is the name of the shaft of a long bone
- what type of bone texture does it contain
- diaphysis
- compact bone
what is the cavity inside the diaphysis and what does it contain
medullary cavity containing yellow bone marrow
what is the inner lining of the medullary cavity called
endosteum
what is the outer lining of the medullary cavity called
periosteum
where is red bone marrow found
in the epiphysis
what is the height of the bone called
epiphyseal line
articular cartilage is found where
covers the ends of bones where they connect to another bone in movable joints
