16
Q

long bones

A

most bones of the limb

17
Q

short bones

A

carpal and tarsal bones, sesamoid and patella

18
Q

flat bones

A

cranial bones and scapula

19
Q

irregular bones

A

pelvis and vertebral column, has large # of projections for tendon attachment

20
Q

vertebral formula

A

C7T18L6S5CO15-21

21
Q

articulate

A

having joints or jointed segments to form a joint

22
Q

fibrous joints

A

immovable, fibrous tissue unites, ossifies with age

23
Q

suture joints

A

fibrous, most joints of the skull

24
Q

syndesmosis

A

fibrous joints, bones that fuse over time, occur between shafts of long bone

25
Q

cartilagenous joints

A

limited movement joints

26
Q

symphysis

A

cartilagenous joints, in pelvis and intervertebral discs

27
Q

growth plates

A

cartilagenous joint, hyalin cartilage grows and ossifies

28
Q

synovial joints

A

movable joints

29
Q

4 components of the synovial joint

A

collateral ligament, articular cartilage, fibrous joint capsule and synovial membrane.

30
Q

diaphysis

A

shaft of the bone

31
Q

epiphysis

A

proximal and distal ends of the bone

32
Q

epiphyseal line

A

where the growth plate used to be

33
Q

periosteum

A

covers outside of the bone, vessel rich

34
Q

articular cartilage

A

covers ends of the bone where it meets another bone in a joint.

35
Q

nutrient artery

A

blood for the bone is supplied by the vessels on the periosteum and by the nutrient artery, carrying blood to the endosteum

36
Q

tendons

A

connect muscle to bone

37
Q

ligaments

A

connect bone to bone

38
Q

functions of the skeleton

A

provide a framework for other body tissue to build on, act as a system of levers, protect the inner vital organs, store calcium and phosphorous, produce red and white blood cells
