red blood marrow
produces red and white blood cells
axial skeleton
80 bones
-within the central core of the body
appendicular bones
126 bones
-comprised of the hands, feet, upper and lower extremity, shoulder girdle and pelvic bones
what are the functions of bones?
support, protection, movement, production of blood cells, and storage of minerals
cranial bones
frontal, parietal, occipital, temporal, sphenoid and ethmoid
facial bones
nasal bones, nasal conchae, palatine, maxillary, zygomatic, lacrimal, vomer and mandible
what cranial bones are paired?
parietal and temporal
hyoid
suspended by ligaments from styloid process
-supports the tongue
vertebrae
7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, sacrum, and coccyx
kyphosis
over curvature of the thoracic area

lordosis
accentuated inward curvature in the lumbar spine
-can be temporary with pregnancy
scoliosis

houses the auditory vestibular system
4 major divisions of the temporal bone
squamous, mastoid, tympanic, petrous
squamous portion
big portion on lateral or medial side
tympanic portion
bone that makes up the bony portion of the external auditory canal
petrous portion
medial view with the petrous apex
palatine bone
hard and soft palate
-cleft palate can occur if it is not closed off in development
maxillary
upper lip/top portion of mouth
zygomatic bone
cheeck bone
lacrimal
inside of eye area
nasal conchae
deeper within the nose, where separation occurs of the two sinuses
vomer bone
near the nose, small bone at the bottom of nose
mandible
lower jaw
4 sinuses
frontal sinus, ethmoid sinus, sphenoidal sinus, maxillary sinus
