Anatomy:Exam One

breast bone composed of three parts , manubrium, body, xiphoid process

part of the pectoral girdle. The medial end participates in the4 sternoclavicular joint

Scapula

abnormal exaggerated curvature in the lumbar region of the vertebral column

Tarsal

Spine

Process

a rounded projection at the end of a bone that articulates with another bone

long bone of the arm

Spinous process of the vertebra

glassy hyaline cartilage on the ends of bones that provide a smooth surface in a moveable ( synovial) joint

shaft of a long bone composed of compact bone

raised area above the condyle; important for skeletal muscle attachment

bone-forming cells

composite of two bones, scapula and clavicle that attach the upper limb to the axial skeleton, also called the pectoral girdle

small struts of bone with much open spaces

posterior area of the vertebra

Coccyx

abnormal lateral curve of the vertebral column

remnant of the epiphyseal plate after puberty

the area of the pelvis above the pelvic brim bounded by the widest part of the ilia (plural of ilium)

part of the hip bone

Carpal

pertaining to the ribs

long bone of the leg

two lateral projections from the vertebral arch of the vertebra

Ischium

large cells that resorb or break down bone matrix

bones that do not fit the other categories. Ex. Vertebrae, hip bone

Sacrum

the first cervical vertebra; articulates with the occipital bone of the skull and the second cervical vertebra (axis)

the portion of the body trunk above the diaphragm and below the neck

canal through witch the spinal cord passes

bones of the limbs and limb girdles that are attached to the axial skeleton

long bone of the leg

a large blunt process on the femur important for muscle attachment

long bone of the forearm

Primary curvatures of vertebral column

inferior to the false pelvis below the pelvic brim. The dimensions of the cavity, particularly the pelvic outlet (inferior opening) and the inlet (superior opening) must be large enough to allow passage of the infant's head during childbirth

the only articulation between the shoulder girdle and the axial skeleton

a small rounded process important for muscle attachment

a smooth articular surface. Ex. joint between head of rib and thoracic vertebrae

long bone of the forearm

Pelvis

cervical and lumbar curvatures appear as the baby holds up the head and later begins to walk

cavity of the shaft or yellow marrow; storage area for adipose (fat) tissue in adults

joint; point where two bones meet

Short bones

a mature bone cell

the highest point of the shoulder; part of the scapula

shallow depression in a bone, often serving as part of a joint

refers to the neck or the neck like portion of an organ or structure

the last two pairs of false ribs lack the sternal attachment

Tuberosity

formed of a number of individual bones called vertebrae and two composite bones ( sacrum and coccyx)

a system of interconnecting canals in the microsopic structure of adult compact bone; unit of bone

Glenohumeral joint

first seven pairs attach directly to the sternum by constal cartilages

lower five pairs of ribs either attach indirectly to the sternum or are not attached to the sternum at all

flat plate of hyaline cartilage found in young growing bone

bones of the thorax, including ribs, sternum,, and thoracic vertebrae

the bones of the skull, vertebral column, thorax, and sternum

head or end of a long bone consisting of a thin layer of compact bone enclosing an area filled with spongy bone

abnormal exaggerated curvature in the thoracic region of the vertebral column

Ilium

seven vertebrae in the neck region; smaller lighter with openings (foramina) in the transverse processes

disks of fibrocartilage between the vertebrae

the weight-bearing part of the vertebra

refers to the chest

the kneecap

twelve vertebrae in the thoracic region that articulate with the ribs

incomplete bony basis formed by the two coxal bones that secures the lower limbs to the sacrum of the axial skeleton

the second cervical vertebra. Has a vertical projection called the dens around which the atlas rotates

the bones of the fingers and toes

five vertebrae in the lower back region that have massive block like bodies important for weight bearing

located in the limbs; composed of a diaphysis (shaft), epihysis (head or end), marrow cavity. Ex. Humerus

a hole or opening in a bone or between body cavities

the cuplike cavity on the lateral surface of the hip bone that receives the femur

thin and flat bones composed of two thin layers of compact bone with spongy bone in the middle. Ex. Bones of skull

Compact bone

long bone of the thigh

openings located between the vertebrae allowing spinal nerves to pass out of the vertebral canal

Pectoral girdle

fibrous connective tissue membrane important in bone remodeling, found on the outside of the shaft of the bone

the junction of two or more bones; an articulation. Ex. Fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial

one of the five bones between the tarsus and the phalanges of the foot

Metacarpal
