formation occurs in
red marrow)

Deviated Septum

Displacement of the wall between nostrils

Cleft Palate

Midline of the hard palate does not close

Purpose of fontanels

Alloes for growth of brain and skull

Largest fontanels

Anterior Fontanelle

Kyphosis

An exaggerated, foward rounding of the upper back

5 vertebral regions

7 cervical, 12 thoratic, 5 lumbar, sacrum, coccyx

Atlas (Las= Last= Not last)

The first vertebra c1

Axis

The second vertebra c2

Common location of hip fracture

Femoral fracture that occurs in the proximal end of the femur near the hip

3 bones the talus articulates with

Tibia Fibula Calcaneus Navicular

Bone that does not contact another bone

Hyoid

What is an articulation?

A joint

What is a Haversian Canal?

Any of the minute tubes which from a network in bone and contain blood vessels allows for paggase of nutrients bwteen blood and bone

Periosteum

Dense layer of vascular connective tissue enveloping the bones except at the surfaces of joints.

Lacunae

Location of Osteocytes

Ligaments functions

Attach bones to other bones

Invertabral discs

Gel-like structure that lie between the vertebral bodies, linking them together responsible for strength and the flexibility of the spine

Types of joints and thier movement

Fibrous- NO movement Cartigineous- Slightyly movable Synovial- Most movement

Sprain

A stretching or tearing of ligaments, the fibouros tissue that connects bones and joints

Rickets

Bones fail to calcify, stay soft, Lack of vitamin D, calcium, phosphorous

Osteoporosis

Weakening of the bone that comes with aging

Scoliosis

Abnormal curvature of the spine

Explain if bones are living or non living

They are living tissue because they grow and repair themsleves throughout life.

Importance of proper nutrition in bone health

Bones support your body and allow you to move. calcium, protein, magnesium, phosphorus, vitamin D, potassium, and fluoride are needed for good bone health

Why do more biological females have poor bone health than biological males?

Most females will experience hormonal changes that increase the risk of osteoporosis, such as menopause. Early menopause or low estrogen levels can also elevate the risk of diseases.
