The adult skeleton has how many bones? - 206
How many bones do newborns have? - 270 - 300
compact bone tissue - contains few spaces and is the
strongest form of bone tissue
spongy bone tissue - this consists of an irregular
latticework of thin plates of bone called trabeculae, with
spaces in-between filled with red bone marrow
Long bone - Cylindrical in shape
longer than they are wide
,Contain mostly compact bone
Functions as levers
Humerus, ulna, and radius are classified as - Long bones
Short bones - cube shaped (equal length, width, and
thickness)
Contains mostly spongy bones
Functions in providing stability and support
The carpals and tarsals are ___ bones? - short
Sesamoid bone - small, round bone embedded in a tendon;
protects the tendon from compressive forces
The patella is what type of bone? - sesamoid bone
Flat bones - thin, flattened, and usually curved
Cranium, scapulae, sternum and ribs are which type of
bone - Flat bones
irregular bones - Irregular shape
Vertebrae, facial bones are examples of - Irregular bones
, Diaphysis - shaft of a long bone
Epiphysis - Ends of a long bone
Metaphysis - where diaphysis and epiphysis meet
medulary cavity - central, hollowed-out area in the
diaphysis of a long bone
epiphyseal plate - Growth plate, made of cartilage,
gradually ossifies
epiphyseal line - remnant of epiphyseal plate; completely
ossified
Endosteum - membranous lining of the hollow cavity of
the bone
Periosteum - A dense fibrous membrane covering the
surface of bones (except at their extremities) and serving
as an attachment for tendons and muscles.
articular cartilage - covers the surfaces of bones where
they come together to form joints
Osteon - A unit of bone containing central canal and
matrix rings
