Bone Exam Flashcards
Abduction
moving away from the center of the body
Adduction
moving it towards the center of the body
Amphiarthroses
slightly movable joint
Appositional growth
cells in the perichondrium secret matrix against the external face of existing cartilage
Articular cartilage
covers the ends of the long bones
Atlas
Allows forward and backward motion- 1st cervical vertebrae
Axis
Allows side to side motion- 2nd cervical vertebrae
Axial skeleton
cut off legs, arms, and head: it is everything left- CORE
Calcaneus
Heel
Canaliculi
hairlike canals that connect lacunae to each other and the central canal waste products come through there passage way allows removal of waste products diffusion of nutrients
Carpals
wrist bones- 8 in each arm
Cartilaginous
Made of mostly cartilage
Cervical vertebrae
C1-C7
C1&C2-allow motion of the neck
If C5 and up are fractured into spine you will die
Circumduction
imaginary circle forming
Clavicle
Between the sternum and the scapula in the thoracic cavity
Long bone
Double curved bone
Functions: keeps arm away from chest wall
Comminuted fracture
bone fragments into three of more pieces;common in the elderly
Compact bones
dense outer layer- the cells are right on top of each other
Compound fracture
(open)- bone ends penetrate the skin- seen without an X-ray
Crista galli
Where the meninges attach
Diaphysis
tubular shaft that forms the axis of long bones
composed of compact bone that surounds the medullary cavity
yellow bone marrow (fat) is conained in the medullary cavity
shaft or center of the long bone
Diarthroses
freely movable joint
Diploe
Spongy tissue
Dorsifextion
pulling the toes up toward your leg
Endosteum
delicate membrane cobering internal surfaces of the bone
made out of simple squamous epithelial tissue
function:
produces a slick friction- reducing lining-
plays a role in bone growth
Epiphyseal line
separates the diaphysis from the epiphiyses
function: of epiphyseal line: it is your growth plate
where the length of the bone appears
is a joint
Epiphyseal plate
epiphyseal plates of children (found in the long bones between diaphyses and epiphyses)- it is a synchondroses cartilaginous joint
Epiphysis
expanded ends of the long bone
exterior is commpact bone and the interior is spongy bone
joint surface is covered with articular (hyaline) cartilage
epiphyseal line separates the diaphysis from the epiphiyses
function: of epiphyseal line: it is your growth plate
where the length of the bone appears
is a joint
Ethmoid and its parts
Ethmoid
- superior nasal concha
- middle nasal concha
- crista galli
- cribriform plate
- perpendicular plate of the ethmoid bone
Eversion
turning the sole of the foot out
Extension
reverse of flexion: joint angle is increased
Facet
smooth nearly flat articular surface
Femur
In the thigh: long bone, largest bone in the body, most vascular bone
Fibrocartilage
highly compressed with great tensile strength
contain collagen fibers
found in the menisci of the knee and the intervertebral discs
Fibrous capsule
Outer layer of the joint
Fibrous joints
the bones are joined by fibrous tissue
there is no joint cavity
most are immovable
Three types: sutures,syndesmoses,gomphoses
Fibula
Lower part of the leg, next to the tibia
Long bone
Functions: help stabilize the ankle-non weight barring
Fissure
narrow slit-like opening
Flat bones
thin, flattened and a bit curved sternum, and most skull bones function: the enclose things/ protection site for muscle attachment
Flexion
bending movement that decreases the angle of the joint
Fontanels
soft spots
brain continues to grow until 24 or 25
Foramen
round or oval opening through a bone
passageway for blood vessels and nerves
Foramen magnum
In the occipital bone where the spinal cord goes through to brain
Foramina
hole in the bone that allows the passageways of nerves, blood vessels and spinal cords
Frontal bone and parts
- supercilliary ridge of frontal bone
- supraorbital foramen
- glabella of frontal bone
- supraorbital margin
- orbital plate of the frontal bone
- frontal sinuses
- Nasal spine
Function of bones
support- form the framework that supports the body and cradles soft organs
protection- provides a protective case for the brain, spinal cord, and vital organs
movement- provide levers for muscles
mineral storage- reservoir for mineral, especially calcium and phosphorus
blood cell formation-hematopoiesis occurs within the marrow cavities of bones
Gliding motion
one flat bone surface glides of slips over another similar surfaces
examples:
intercarpal and intertarsal joints and between the flat articular processes of the vertebrae
Gomphoses
the peg-in-socket fibrous joint between a tooth and its alveolar socket
the fibrous connection is the periodontal ligament
Greenstick fracture
incomplete fracture where one side of the bone break and the other side bends; common in children
Haversain canal
or central canal-centeral channel containing blood vessel and nerves
Hematoporesis
blood cell formation-hematoporesis occurs within the marrow cavities of bones
Hinge joint
cylindrical projections of one bone fits into a trough-shaped surface on another
motion is along a single plane
uniaxial joints permit flexion and extension only
example: elbow and interphalangeal joints
Hyaline cartilage
origin for most of the cartilage on the human body
main component is a white protein called collagen
provides support flexibility and resilience
the most abundant of the skeletal cartilage
is present in these cartilages
-articular-covers the ends of the long bones
-costal-connects the ribs to the sternum
-respiratory-makes up larynx reinforces air passages
-nasal-supports the nose
hydroxyapatities
or mineral salts
65% of bone by mass
mainly calcium phosphates
responsible for bone hardness and its resistance to compression
Hyoid bone
Suspended above larynx & beneath tongue
U shaped bone
Helps hold up air way
If broken you will most likely die
Hyper extension
Extending your arm past 180 degrees
