Bones Overview
A and P 1
Cartilage
1. Hyaline: Most abundant form of cartilage, is present at the end of joints and connect
your ribs to the sternum. Its capable of withstanding compression, makes up articular
cartilages, and it forms the walls of the voice box.
2. Elastic: Supports the external ear and makes up the epiglotÝs
3. Fibrocartilages: Sits in between the vertebrae discs and is present in knee joints.
Bones
1. Axial Skeleton: Middle line
2. Appendicular Skeleton: Appendages
Bone Functions
1. Mineral storage
2. Blood cell formation
3. Triglyceride storage
4. Protection
5. Support
Bone Shapes
1. Long
2. Flat
3. Irregular
4. Short
Bone Markings
1. Groove: A furrow
2. Fissure: A narrow slit like opening
3. Tuberosity: Large rounded projection that may be roughened
4. Tubercule: Small rounded projection or process
5. Trochanter: Very large, blunt, irregular shaped process
6. Process: Any bony prominence
7. Condyle: Rounded Articular projection
8. Epicondyle: A raised area on/above a condyle
9. Facet: Smooth nearly flat articular surface
10. Fossa: Shallow, basin like depression usually serves as an articular surface
11. Crest: Narrow ridge of bone usually prominent
12. Line: Narrow ridge of bone that’s less prominent
13. Foramen: Rounded or oval opening through a bone
14. Head: A bony expansion sitÝng on a narrow neck
15. Sinus: A cavity within a bone, filled with air and lined with a mucus membrane
16. Spine: Sharp, slender, pointed projection
17. Ramus: Arm like part of bone
18. Meatus: Canal like passageway
