Lab 4 Checklist Flashcards
1
Q
Diaphysis
A
- Long bone structure
- aka Shaft
- Main portion of a long bone; provides most of their length
2
Q
Epiphyses
A
- Long bone structure
- Proximal + distal extremities
3
Q
Medullary Cavity
A
- Long bone structure
- Contains red marrow in children, yellow marrow in adults
4
Q
Spongy Bone
A
- Long bone structure
- NO osteons
- Have trabeculae (irregularly arranged lamellae)
- Canaliculi connect osteocytes in lacunae
5
Q
Thoracic Vertebrae
A
- 12 vertebrae
- ALL articulate with ribs (thoracic cage) via costal facets
6
Q
Body (thoracic)
A
- Medium sized (smaller than lumbar, bigger than cervical)
- Heart-shaped
7
Q
Lamina (thoracic)
A
- Broad, thick, and imbricated
- Connect with the pedicles to surround and protect the spinal cord
8
Q
Pedicle (thoracic)
A
- Connected with lamina
9
Q
Spinous Process (thoracic)
A
- More pointed than other vertebrae
- Angle sharply downward
10
Q
Transverse Process (thoracic)
A
- Has cranial nerves & blood vessels
- Bony process that arises from the vertebral arch
- For the attaching of the rib tubercle
11
Q
Vertebral Foramen (thoracic)
A
- Large opening
- Posterior to the body
- Forms spinal canal through which the spinal cord passes
12
Q
Costal Cartilages
A
- Thoracic cage; found at the anterior ends of the ribs
- Bars of Hyaline Cartilage that prolong the ribs forward
13
Q
False Ribs
A
- Thoracic cage
- 5 pairs
- Either ATTACH INDIRECTLY to sternum via costal cartilage (8-10)
- or not at all = FLOATING RIBS (11 & 12 - embedded in muscle)
14
Q
Sternum
A
- aka Breast Bone
- 3 parts: Manubrium, Body, Xiphoid Process
- Partially T-shaped vertical bone
- Forms the anterior portion of the chest wall centrally
15
Q
True Ribs
A
- Thoracic cage
- Attach DIRECTLY to sternum via costal cartilage (hyaline cartilage)
16
Q
Body (sternum)
A
- Middle part of sternum
17
Q
Manubrium
A
- Superior part of sternum
18
Q
Xiphoid Process
A
- Inferior part of sternum
- Is cartilage in kids & young adults
- Can be damaged during CPR
19
Q
Acromion Process
A
- Belongs to scapula
- Articulates with clavicle
20
Q
Coracoid Process
A

- Attaches muscles for arm and chest
21
Q
Glenoid Fossa (cavity)
A
- Belongs to scapula
- Articulates with head of humerus
22
Q
Lateral Border
A
- Oblique side of scapula
23
Q
Medial Border
A
- Inner side of scapula
24
Q
Spine (scapula)
A
- Prominent ridge of bone
