Answer 7

anterior - major weight bearing component of spinal bone

Question 8

Question 9

intervetebral foramen

Answer 9

where the spinal nerves are entering/exiting

Question 10

joints

Answer 10

synovial - bones separated by a cavity & solid - bones held by connective tissue

Question 11

synovial joint

Answer 11

bones separated by a cavity - moveable - associated with appendicular skeleton - surrounds articulate space & cushions/nourishes the joints

Question 12

solid

Answer 12

bones held together by connective tissue - less moveable - more associated with axial

fibrous (sutures) & cartilaginous

Question 14

fibrous joints

Answer 14

sutures - gomphoses - syndesmoses -

Question 15

sutures

Answer 15

only in the skull where adjacent bones are linked by a thin layer of fibrous conn. tissue

Question 16

gomphoses

Answer 16

only between teeth and adj. bone - periodontal ligament

Question 17

syndesmoses

Answer 17

joints in which adj. bones are linked by ligament (interosseous membrane linking radius & ulna)

Question 18

cartilaginous joints

Answer 18

synchondroses & symphyses

Question 19

synchondroses

Answer 19

where two ossification centers in a developing bone remain separated by a layer of cartilage (growth plate between head and shaft)

Question 20

symphyses

Answer 20

where two separate bones are interconnected by cartilage (pubic symphysis)
