Example of pneumatized bone:
Ethmoid bone in the skull, has air cells
Intramembranous ossification:
Forms flat bones of the skull, mandible and clavicle
Endochondral ossification:
Limbs and vertebra
Open fracture:
Compound, projected through skin
Comminuted fracture:
Bone is splintered/crushed into pieces
Green stick fracture
One side of the bone breaks but the other doesn’t
Potts fracture
Occurs at the ankle
Colles fracture
Distal end of radius, result of fall on outstretched hand
Determination of sex
Skull - males have more markings for muscle attachment
Pelvis - female pelvis is lighter, smoother and has less markings
Sutures of the skull:
Coronal suture - connects both parietal bones to the frontal bone
Sagittal suture - connects both parietal bones
Lamboid suture - connects parietal bones to the occipital bone
