Chapter 7 Flashcards
Axial system has how many bones
80
What makes up the axial skeletal system
Head, trunk, face, ears and vertebral system
Appendicular system consists of how many bones
120
What makes up the appendicular skeletal system
Upper and lower limbs, girdles that connect the limbs to the axial system
Sutural bone shape and location
Small, located between cranial bones such as joints
Long bones shape, function, structure and locations they are often found
Shape: length is greater than width, had a shaft with ends
Function: absorb stress of weight and distributes it
Structure: mostly compact bone tissue to the shaft with spongy bony tissue in the middle and on the ends
Location: femur, tibia/fibula, radius/ulna, humerus, and phalanges
Short bone shape, structure, and location
Shape: cube line, length and width are almost equal
Structure: thin surface layer of compact bone tissue around mainly spongy bone tissue
Location: carpal and tarsal bones
Flat bone shape, function, structure, and location
Shape: thin, almost parallel
Function: protection and muscle attachment
Structure: parallel plates of compact bone tissue enclosing a layer of spongy bone tissue
Location: cranial bones, sternum, ribs, and scapulae
Irregular bone shape, structure, and location
Shape: complex, vary in size and shape
Structure: vary in amounts of compact and spongy bone tissue
Location: vertebrae, hip bones, facial bones, calcaneous
Sesamoid bone shape, function, location
Shape: vary in size
Function: protection from wear and tear
Location: patella
What are surface markings
Structural features adapted for specific function
Caused by tension on a bone surface; new bone gets deposited resulting in raised/roughened areas
What are the 2 types of surface markings and their functions
1: depressions and openings (allow passage of soft tissues (like vessels, ligaments and tendons) and form joints)
2: processes (projections and outgrowths that form joints or serve as attachment points for connective tissues)
What are the different types of depressions and openings
Fissure, foramen, fossa, sulcus and meatus
What are the types of processes that form joints
Condyle, facet, head
What are the different types of processes that form attachments for connective tissues
Crest, epicondyle, line, spinous process, trochanter, tubercle, tuberosity
A fissure is a slot between bones for:
Blood vessels and nerves to pass through
A foramen is an opening for:
Blood vessels, nerves or ligaments to pass
A fossa is a:
Shallow depression
A sulcus accommodates:
Blood vessels, nerves or tendons to pass through
Meatus is a _______ opening
Tubelike
A condyle forms a joint at the ____ of a ____ by a large, round protuberance with smooth articulating surface
End
Bone
A facet is a ______________ and slightly _______ or ______ articular surface
Smooth, flat
concave or convex
The head that forms a joint is rounded and supported on the:
Neck of a bone
Difference between the process projects that form connective tissue attachment points (crest, epicondyle, line, spinous process, trochanter, tubercle, and tuberosity)
Crest: elongated
Epicondyle: roughened
Line: long narrow ridge/border
Spinous process: sharp, slender
Trochanter: very large
Tubercle: rounded
Tuberosity: rough, and bumpy surface
Features of the skull
-Forms the cranial cavity
-Has surface markings for blood vessels and nerves
-Protects the brain
- stabilizes positions by attachments of inner surface membranes (meninges) and the outer surface attaches muscles
- facial bones form structure and support entrances (airway, GI tract)
- attached by joints called sutures

The temporal bone consists of the mastoid portion which is located:
Behind and below the earlobe
The function of the mastoid air cells
