Exm 2 (ch 7&8) Flashcards
(80 bones) - skull bones, auditory ossicles, hyoid
bone, ribs, sternum, vertebrae and sacrum
Axial skeleton
(126 bones) - bones of the upper and lower
extremities and the bones forming the girdles that connect the limbs to the axial skeleton
Appendicular skeleton
(greater length than width): diaphysis and epiphysis and
curved for strength. Ex: femur, humerus
Long bones
(cube shaped): spongy bone with thin layer of compact
bone. Equal in width as length. Ex: bones in wrist
Short bones
(thin layers of parallel plates): Ex = sternum, skull, ribs
Flat bones
(complex shapes): ex = vertebrae
Irregular bones
: usually encased in a
tendon where this is considerable friction, tension, and physical strain. Ex: patella
Sesamoid bone
(Location) are small, extra bone
plates located within the sutures of cranial bones. Mostly only in back of head
Sutural bones
(Location) Are the jointed areas where a flat bones come together
Sutures
There are two major types of surface markings:
- Depression and openings. 2. processes
Fissure, foremen, fossa, sulcus, meatus
Depressions and openings: Sites allowing the passage of soft tissues (nerves, blood vessels, ligaments, tendons) or formation of joints
Narrow slit between adjacent parts of a bone through which blood vessels or nerves pass
Fissure
Opening through which blood vessels, nerves, or ligaments pass. Tiny hole.
Foramen
Shallow depression
Fossa
Furrow along bone surface, that accommodates blood vessel, nerve, or tendon. A little depression
Sulcus
Tubelike opening
Meatus
Depression and openings mnemonic:
Suck (sulcus), My (meatus), F-ing (fissure), Fat (foramen), Foot (fossa)
Condyle, facet, head, crest, epicondyle, line, spinous process, trochanter, tubercle, tuberosity
Processes: Projections or outgrowths on bone that form joints or attachment points for connective tissue, such as ligaments tendons
Large, round protuberance with a smooth articular surface at end of bone
Condyle
Smooth, flat, slightly concave, or convex articular surface
Facet
Usually rounded articular projection supported on neck (constricted portion) of bone
Head
