(long, short, flat, and irregular)
✔✔Long Bones - ✔✔are the relatively cylindrical bones of the upper and lower
extremities such as the humerus of the upper arm
✔✔Short Bones - ✔✔can be found in the carpal bones of the hand and the tarsal bones
of the feed.
✔✔Flat Bone - ✔✔an example if the scapula
✔✔Irregular Bone - ✔✔example of irregular bones
✔✔Anterior - ✔✔front
✔✔physiology - ✔✔the function of the body and its parts
✔✔pathophysiology - ✔✔how normal physiologic process are affected by disease
✔✔planes of the body - ✔✔coronal (front and back)
transverse/ axial (top and bottom)
(mid)sagittal/ lateral (left and right)
✔✔ligaments - ✔✔fibrous tissues that connect bone to bone
✔✔tendons - ✔✔rope-like structures that connect muscle to bone

joints
✔✔axial skeleton - ✔✔the body's foundation: skull, facial bones, thoracic cage,
vertebral column

saccral bones, 4 coccyx bones)
connected by ligaments, cushioned by discs
, ✔✔symphysis - ✔✔joints with slightly limited motion when bone ends are held together
by fibrous tissue
✔✔joint capsule - ✔✔fibrous sac where the bone ends of a joint are held; composed of
connective tissue
✔✔sacroiliac joint - ✔✔joint surrounded by tough, thick ligaments and thus have little
motion
✔✔articular cartialge - ✔✔thin layer of cartilage found in moving joints, allowing bones
to slide easily

✔✔the thumb is composed of _____ phalanges - ✔✔2
✔✔bones of the pelvis - ✔✔sacrum and 2 pelvic bones
✔✔each pelvic bone consists of: - ✔✔ilium, ischium, pubis (joined by the sacrum)
✔✔pubic symphysis - ✔✔anterior side of the pelvic ring where the pubises join; has
cartilage to allow some movement of one side of the pelvis to go over the other
✔✔acetabulum - ✔✔where the pelvis and leg connects to the hip joint; formed where
the ilium, ischium, and pubic bones meet
✔✔femoral head - ✔✔round structure at the superior end of the femur where the femur
connects to the acetabulum (pelvic girdle) by a ball and socket joint
