what is a fontanel?
the space between infant skull bones
what is a process?
part of the bone that sticks out
what is a foramen?
a hole in the bone
what are the types of bones?
short, long, flat, irregular
examples of long bones?
arms, legs, and phalanges
examples of short bones?
wrist and ankle
examples of flat bones?
scapula, sternum, ribs, and skull

vertebrate, patella, hips
what is the end of a bone called?
epiphysis
what is the middle of a bone called?
diaphysis
what kind of bone is in the end of a long bone?
spongy bone
what divides the spongy bone and the inner part of the bone?
epiphyseal plate
the very ends of the bones?
articular cartilage
porous parts of the bone?
trabeculae
what kind of marrow is in the spongy bone?
red marrow
what kind of marrow is in the middle of the bone?
yellow marrow
what is the inner lining of a bone?
endosteum
what is the open space in the inside of a bone?
medullary cavity
what are the parts of the osteon?
haversian canal, lamella, lacunae, canalculi
what does the haversian canal do?
allows passage of blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerve fibers
what does the lamella do?
concentric rings of collagen fibers around haversian canal and allows bone to withstand force
what does the lacunae do?
small cavities occupied by osteocytes that join lamella
what does the canaliculi do?
hairlike canals that join lacunae to each other and the central canal and allow osteocytes to exchange nutrients wastes, and chemical signals via gap junctions
