Q

Periosteum

A

Tough, fibrous tissue that forms the outermost covering of the bone

23
Q

Compact bone / cortical bone

A

Dense, hard, and very strong bone that forms the protective outer layer of bones

24
Q

Spongy bone / cancellous bone

A

Porous, lighter and weaker than compact bone

25
Q

Medullary cavity

A

Central cavity located in the shaft of long bones - surrounded by compact bones

26
Q

Endosteum

A

Tissue that lines the medullary cavity

27
Q

Red bone marrow

A

Located within the spongy bone - hemopoietic tissue that manufactures red blood cells, hemoglobin, white blood cells, and thrombocytes

28
Q

Hemopoietic / hematopoietic

A

Pertaining to the formation of blood cells

29
Q

Yellow bone marrow

A

Functions as fat storage area

30
Q

Cartilage

A

Smooth, rubbery, blue-white connective tissue / shock absorber between bones

31
Q

Articular cartilage

A

Protects bones from rubbing against one another - covers the surfaces of bones where they come together

32
Q

Meniscus

A

Curved, fibrous cartilage found in some joints - the knee and jaw

33
Q

Diaphysis

A

Shaft of a long bone

34
Q

Epiphyses

A

The wider ends of long bones

35
Q

Foramen

Foh-RAY-men

A

Opening in a bone through which blood vessels, nerves, and ligaments pass

36
Q

Process

A

Normal projection on the surface of the bone that most commonly serves as an attachment for muscle or tendion

37
Q

Mastoid process

A

Bony projection located on the temporal bones just behind the ears

38
Q

Articulations

A

Joints - place of union between two or more bones

39
Q

Fibrous joints

A

Inflexible layers of dense connective tissue, holds the bones tightly together

40
Q

Fontanelles

Fon-tah-NELLS

A

Soft spots, normally presented on a newborn

41
Q

Cartilaginous joints

A

Allow only slight movement and consist entirely by cartilage

42
Q

Pubic symphysis

A

Allows some movement to facilitate child birth

43
Q

Synovial joints

A

Created where two bones articulate (come together) to permit a variety of motions

44
Q

Ball-and-socket joints

A

Hips, and shoulders allow wide range of movement in many directions

45
Q

Hinge joints

A

Knees, and elbows, are synovial joints that allow movement primarily in one direction or plane

46
Q

Synovial capsule

A

Outermost layer of strong fibrous tissue that resembles a sleeve as it surrounds the joint

47
Q

Synovial membrane

A

Lines the capsule and secretes synovial fluid

48
Q

Synovial fluid

A

Flows within the synovial cavity, acts as a lubricant to make the smooth movement of joint possible

49
Q

Ligaments

A

Bands of fibrous tissue that form joints by connecting one bone to another, or by joining cartilage

50
Q

Bursa

A

Fibrous sac that acts as a cushion to ease movement in areas that are subject to friction

51
Q

Axial skeleton

A

Protects the major organs of the nervous, respiratory, and circulatory systems
