Question 6

Cartilaginous joint

Answer 6

A joint in which the opposing bony surfaces are covered with a layer of hyaline cartilage or fibrocartilage and in which some degree of free movement is possible

Question 7

Compact bone

Answer 7

The compact noncancellous portion of bone that consists largely of concentric lamellar osteons and interstitial lamellae

Question 8

Diaphysis

Answer 8

The shaft of a long bone

Question 9

Pelvic girdle

Answer 9

Incomplete bony basin formed by the two coxal bones that secures the lower limbs to the sacrum of the axial skeleton

Question 10

Answer 10

Double layered connective tissue that covers and nourishes the bone

Question 11

Red marrow

Answer 11

found mainly in the flat bones such as hip bone, breast bone, skull, ribs, vertebrae and shoulder blades, and in the cancellous (“spongy”) material at the proximal ends of the long bones femur and humerus

Question 12

Short bones

Answer 12

Are cubed and as long as they are wide

Question 13

Shoulder girdle

Answer 13

Composite of two bones, scapula and clavicle, that attach the upper limb to the axial skeleton; pectoral girdle

Freely moveable joint

Question 16

Epiphyseal

Answer 16

Relating to an epiphysis

Question 17

Epiphysis

Answer 17

part or process of a bone separated from the main body of the bone by a layer of cartilage and subsequently uniting with the bone through further ossification

Question 18

Fibrous joint

Answer 18

union of two bones by fibrous tissue, such as a syndesmosis or gomphosis, in which there is no joint cavity and little motion is possible

Question 19

Flat bones

Answer 19

whose principle function is either extensive protection or the provision of broad surfaces for muscular attachment

Answer 23

Longer than they are wide

Question 24

Spongy bone

Answer 24

Bone in which the spicules form a latticework, with interstices filled with embryonic connective tissue or bone marrow

Immoveable joint

Question 26

Synovial joint

Answer 26

Freely moveable joint exhibiting a joint cavity enclosed by an Articular capsule lined with synovial membrane

Vertebral column

Answer 27

Spine; formed of a number of individual bones called vertebrae and two composite bones
