Q

Bones in Axial Skeleton

22
Q

Bones in appendicular skeleton

23
Q

All bones are com­ posed of a strong, dense outer layer called the ________ bone and an inner portion of les dense ______ bone.

A

Compact bone

Spongy bone

24
Q

The softer spongy bone contains a peculated network of interconnecting spaces called the

A

trabeculae

* filled with red and yellow marrow.

25
Q

______ marrow produces red and white blood cells, and _______ marrow stores adipo e (fat) cells.

A

Red marrow

Yellow marrow

26
Q

Long bones have a central cavity called the __________, which contains trabeculae filled with yellow mar­row.

A

Medullary cavity

27
Q

A tough, fibrous connective tissue called the __________ covers all bony surfaces except the articular surfaces, which are covered by the articular cartilage.

A

Periosteum

28
Q

The tissue lining the medullary cavity of bone is called the

29
Q

is the term given to the devel­ opment and formation of bones.

A

Ossification

 * Osification occurs sepa­rately by two distinct processes:

inter­membranous ossification - develop from fibrous membrane

endochon­dral ossification - develop from hyaline cartilage

30
Q

As growth occurs, a plate of car­
tilage called the _________ develops between the two areas. This
plate is seen on the long-bone radiographs
of all pediatric patients. It is important radio­
graphically because it is a common site of
fractures in pediatric patients.

A

Epiphyseal plate

31
Q

Fibrous classification with movements

A

1 . Syndesmosis - slightly movable

  1. Suture - immovable
  2. Gomphosis - immovable
32
Q

Cartilaginous classification and movement

A
  1. Symphysis - slighly movable

2. Synchondrosis - immovable

33
Q

Synovial classification and movements

A
  1. Gliding - all freely movable
  2. Hinge
  3. Pivot
  4. Ellipsoid
  5. Saddle
  6. Ball and socket
34
Q

Inferior tibiofibular joint

A

Syndesmosis

35
Q

Roots of the teeth on the alveolis

36
Q

Synarthroses

A

immovable joint

37
Q

Amphiarthroses

A

slightly movable

38
Q

Diarthroses

A

Freely movable

39
Q

Do not have a joint cavity. They are united by various fibrous and connective tissues or l igaments. These are the strongest joints in the body because they are virtually immovable.

A

Fibrous joints

40
Q

they do not have a joint cavity, and they are virtually immovable. Hyaline cartilage or fibrocar­tilage unites these joints.

A

Cartilaginous Joints

41
Q

the epiphyseal plate found between the epiphysis and diaphysis of a growing long bone

A

Synchondrosis

42
Q

They act as shock absorber by con­ forming to and filling in the large gaps around the periphery of the bones.

43
Q

help reduce friction between skin and bones, tendons and bones, and muscles and bones.

intercarpal joints of the wrist

45

Elbow joint

A

Hinge joint

Radiocarpal joint of the wrist

A

Ellipsoidal

48
Q

Carpometacarpal joint

49
Q

Hip joint

A

Ball and Socket

50
Q

Rounded process at an articular extremity

51
Q

Fracture in which the bone retain its normal alignment

A

Nondisplace fracture

52
Q

More serious fracture in which the bones are not in anatomic alignment

A

Displace fracture
