- bones
- ligaments
- cartilage
- tendons
thigh bone;
femur
number of bones in adult skeleton;
206
Ramus=
branch off body
condyle=
smooth, rounded articular surface; medial and lateral condyle on femur
line / linea=
low ridge
crest / crista=
prominent ridge (sticking out, easily seen)
spine=
very high ridge
process=
prominent projection (sticks out from a surface)
tubercle=
small rounded bump
tuberosity / tuber=
Bump; larger than a tubercle
trochanter=
tuberosity (bump) on the proximal femur: greater and lesser trochanter
epicondyle=
Above condyle
lingula=
flat, tongue-shaped process
hamulus=
hook-shaped process
foramen=
hole
canal / meatus=
tunnel
fissure=
cleft (ex; chin cleft)
sinus / labyrinth=
cavity
fossa=
general term for a depression
Inside scapula
notch=
Depression in the margin of a bone
groove=
deep, narrow depression ; patellar groove Intertubercular groove (bicipital)
‘yes’ motion & tilting the head is movement of a joint between;
occipital and atlas
axial skeleton is composed of;
skull, auditory ossicles, hyoid bone, vertebral column, and thoracic (rib) cage
articulate with thoracic vertebrae and directly with sternum;
true ribs
articulate with thoracic vertebrae, may articulate with coastal cartilage but does not directly join with sternum;
false ribs
