5 major functions of the skeletal system

206

Average number of bones in a human skeleton

Appendicular skeleton

Part of skeleton that includes the clavicle, shoulder girdle, hip girdle, and the bones of the arms, hands, wrists, legs, ankles, feet

Axial skeleton

Part of skeleton that includes the skull, spinal column, and rib cage

Diaphysis

Shaft of a long bone

Epiphysis

End of a long bone

Compact

Type of bone that makes up the diaphysis

Spongy

Type of bone that makes up the epiphysis

Yellow marrow

Type of marrow contained in compact bone

Red marrow

Type of marrow contained in spongy bone

Compact

Type of bone that is made up a Haversian system

Endosteum

Membrane lining the medullary cavity

Periosteum

Membrane that is on the surface of bones

Yellow

Type of marrow that stores fat

Red

Type of marrow that makes blood cells

Epichondrial ossification

Process that ossifies bones that originate as hyaline cartilage

Epiphyseal disk

Growth plate in long bone
