Pronation

supination
the movement of a part away from the median plane
abduction
the movement of a part towards the median
adduction
bones that develop within some soft organs
Splanchnic skeleton
types of bone that is characterized by a shaft or diaphysis, formed from a thick outer layer of compact bone
long bone
what types of bone form the bsis of the limbs
long bones
this type of bone can have different forms such as cylindrical, cubic or round
short bones
this bone consist of two layers of compact bone (tabulae) surrounding either spongy bone or air.
Flat and wide bones
These bones have formed through the subsequent resorption of bone substance and lined with mucosa
flat and wide bones
this type of bone is found close to the joints or embedded in tendon
sesamoid bones (ossa sesamoidea)
less uniform in shape and they lie in the midline and are unpaired bones
irregular bones
these bones contains air filled spaces known as sinuses which have the effect of reducing the weight of the bone
Pneumatic Bones
this is the bone that develops in a soft organ and is unattached to the rest of the skeleton
Splanchnic bone
what are the three sources of afferent blood to long bone
Nutrient
Metaphyseal
Periosteal
two types of ossification
intramembranous and endochondrial ossification
the cells responsible for laying down new bone
osteoblast
cells that destroy or remodel bone is called
osteoclast
