Answer 14

Long

Question 15

Long bones

Answer 15

Tubular

Question 16

Roughly cube-shaped bones such as carpal bones of the wrist and tarsal bones of the ankle

Answer 16

Short bone

Question 17

A short bone (shaped like a seasame seed) formed within tendons, cartilaginous in early life and osseous (bony) in the adult. The patella is the largest bone in the body

Answer 17

Sesamoid Bone

Question 18

Short bones

Answer 18

Cuboidal

Question 19

Consist of a layer of spongy bone between two thin layers of compact bone; cross-section is flat, not rounded. Has marrow but lack a bone marrow cavity. Skull and ribs are examples

Answer 19

Flat Bone

Question 20

These are bones in the body not fitting other categories. Several are found in the face, such as the zygoma and mandible. Vertebrae are these bones as well

Answer 20

Irregular Bones

Question 21

Skull, Hyoid, Ribs, Sternum, Vertebrae, Sacrum

What Skeleton is this?

Answer 21

Axial Skeleton

Question 22

Shoulder gridle, Pelvic girdle, Extremities

What Skeleton is this?

Answer 22

Appendicular Skeleton

Question 23

Does not involve a break in the skin

Answer 23

Closed Fracture

Question 24

Projects through the skin with a possibility of infection

Answer 24

Compound Fracture

Question 25

More than two separate bone components (fragments)

Answer 25

Comminuted Fracture

Question 26

Breaks shaft of a bone across the longitudinal axis

Answer 26

Transverse Fracture

Question 27

Only one side of shaft is broken and other is bent; common in children

Answer 27

Greenstick Fracture

Question 28

Spread along length of bone and produced by twisting stress

Answer 28

Spiral Fracture

Question 29

Occurs in wrist and affects the distal radius bone

Answer 29

Colles’ Fracture

Question 30

Vertebrae collapse due to trauma, tumor, or osteoporosis

Answer 30

Compression Fracture

Question 31

Occurs when matrix is calcifying, and chondrocytes are dying; usually seen in children

Answer 31

Epiphyseal Fracture

Question 32

Also called striated muscle and is attached to the skeleton by tendons; contraction under voluntary control

Answer 32

Skeletal Muscle

Question 33

Also called heart muscle, and contains interlocking involuntary striated muscle, which allows the electrical impulses to pass quickly across the muscle fibers

Answer 33

Cardiac Muscle

Question 34

Found in the walls of all the hollow organs of the body (except the heart), its contraction reduces the size of these structures; movement generally is involuntary

Answer 34

Smooth Muscle
