Chp 14 Musculoskeletal System - Anatomy Flashcards
Bone
Organ made up of connective tissue with a dense outer layer and spongy inner layer
Periosteum
Outermost layer of the bone, made up of fibrous tissue
Compact Bone
Dense, hard layers of bone tissue lie underneath the periosteum
Cancellous Bone
Contains little spaces like a sponge and is encased in layers of compact bone (also called spongy bone)
Endosteum
Membranous lining of the hollow cavity of the bone
Diaphysis
Shaft of the long bones
Epiphysis
End fo each long bone
Bone marrow
Material found in the cavities of bones
Red marrow
Thick, bloodlike material is found in flat bones and the ends of long bones; location of blood cell formation
Yellow marrow
Soft, fatty material found in the medullary cavity pf long bones
Vertebral column
Made up of bones called vertebrae or vertebra through which the spinal cord runs
Cervical Vertebrae (C1 to C7)
First set of seven vertebrae, forming the neck
Vertebral column
Made up of bones called vertebrae or vertebrae through which the spinal cord runs
Thoracic Vertebrae (T1 to T12)
Second set of 12 vertebrae
Lumbar vertebrae (L1 to L5)
Third set of five larger vertebrae, forms the inward curve of the spine
Sacrum
Next five vertebrae, whihc use together to form a triangular bone positioned between the two hip bones, forming joints
Coccyx
Four vertebrae fused together to form the tailbone
Laminae
Flat plates of bone that form the vertebral arch, the posterior portion of the spinal canal
Clavicle
Collarbone
Scapula
Shoulder blade
Acromion process
Extension of the scapula, which forms the superior point of the shoulder
Sternum
Breastbone
