• support
• movement protection
• storage of minerals
• production of blood cells

for the soft tissues of the body

bones serve as levers and joints as flucra

to vital organs

calcium and phosphorus

hemopoiesis

mature bone cells

tear down bone

build new bone

shaft

found at both proximal and distal ends of long bones

where the epiphysis and the diaphysis fuse after the cartilaginous epiphyseal plate is no longer needed to increase bone length

contains red marrow in the proximal epiphysis; the blood cell producing red marrow is also found in spongy bone of flat bones

the external coat of solid bone

fascial covering found on all bones

mostly fat. In the medulary cavity of the femur, lined with endosteum; some osteoclasts are found here

entering nutrient foramen (hole) of bone

a roughened bony prominence usually serving as the site for attachment for muscles or connective tissue

relatively large, blunt type of process found only on the femur

a large, blunt or rounded process

a small, blunt or rounded provess

a pointed projection of bone

a prominent border that may be rough

a saucer-like depression

a hole in a bone: size is extremely variable

a round articular surface joined to the shaft of the bone by a constriction, the neck (articular)

a smooth structure, either concave or convex, joined directly to the shaft of a long bone (articular)

a smooth surface for articulation (articular)

refers to a joint, so indicates bones are joined

very important landmark structure extends from the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS) to the pubic tubercle. It divides the trunk from the thigh. p40

sacrum to ischial spine

sacrum to ischial tuberosity

space above the pelvic brim and between the iliac bones

inferior to pelvic brim, between the pelvic bones
