• Provides structural support for whole body
• Stores Minerals
• Produces red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in the marrow
• Protects delicate organs
• Provides leverage for movement

• Flat Bones
• Sutural Bones
• Long Bones
• Irregular Bones
• Sesamoid Bones
• Short Bones

Thin and flat bones of the skull, ribs, sternum, and scapulae

Small flat irregular bones that appear in sutures of the skull

• Long bones of the:
• Legs
• Arms
• Fingers
• Toes
• Hands

• Bones with complex shape like:
• vertebrae
• Ethmoid
• Pelvic bones

Form the patella

• Carpal Bones
• Tarsal Bones (ankle)

Small rounded projection from a bone

A deep narrow groove on a bone

the shaft of a bone

a smooth rounded articular process. (where two bones meet and articulate

A smooth grooved articular process. Shaped like a pulley

• a small and rough projection on a broad area of a bone.
• Where tendons connect

A flat articular surface

Extension of a bone that makes an angle with the rest of the structure

Shallow Depression or recess in the surface of a bone

a prominent ridge

Each end of a long bone

The midpoint between the shaft of a bone and the epiphysis

Mature bone cells that maintain their surrounding matrix

Produce new bone matrix

Mesenchimal (stem cells) important in the repair of bone injuries

disolve matrix and release minerals

where the bone increases in diameter as it grows

tissue that lines the outer surface of bones, has a fibrous and cellular layer

a cellular lining to the medullary cavity of bones

the process of cartilage becoming bone. the cartilage allows bones to grow during infancy and adolescence.

stimulates calcium reabsorption

secretes parathyroid hormones that cause the body to increase calcium levels in the blood

• is secreted when calcium levels are too high. Cause kidneys to flush calcium
• Causes intestines to absorb less calcium
• Slows osteoclasts while leaving osteoblasts alone

roughly 206

• three in each inner ear
• conduct vibrations produced by sound waves

• the paired coxal bones:
• fused ilium, ischium, and pubis

socket that articulates with the femur

articulates with the humorous

strong joints with no movement

permits more movement than synarthrosis, but much stronger than free moving joint.
