bones of the limbs, pectoral and pelvis girdle,
what type of bones are legs, arms, palms, fingers and toes)
long
what type of bones are wrist and ankles
short
what type of bones are roof of
the skull, sternum, ribs, scapulae
flat
what type of bones are spinal vertebrae, pelvis, several skull bones such as the zygomatic bone)
irregular
what type of bones is the patella
sesamoid
ossification/osteogenisis
when cartilage is replaced by bone
immature bone cells
osteoblasts
bone destroying bone cells
osteoclasts
mature cells
osteocytes
tissue surronding the bone
periosteum

spongy bone
what is the function of red bone marrow
where bllod cells & platelets are created
yellow blood cell function
contains lipids
membrane within the bone that aligns the medullary cavity
endosteum
expanded area at the end of the bone
epiphysis
shaft of long bone
diaphysis
tissue that covers ends of bones where joints form
articular cartilage
area of the bone that contains marrow
medullary canal

whats the importance of secondary curves
allow us to balance body weight
