Skeletal Intro & Long Bone Anatomy Quiz

type of marrow found in all infant bones

red bone marrow

type of marrow found in proximal epiphysis of long bones, iliac crest, sternum and bodies of vertebrae in adults

red bone marrow

function is hematopoiesis

red bone marrow

connect bones to bones

ligaments

connect muscle to bone

tendons

bone classification for the femur/humerus

long bone

bone classification for carpals/tarsals

short bone

bone classification for most skill bones, sternum, scapula and ribs

flat bone

bone classification for vertebrae/auditory ossicles

irregular bone

bone classification for bones that develop within a tendon, like the patella

sesamoid bone

bone classification for bones that develop between skull bones

wormian/sutural bone

chemical energy reserves

yellow bone marrow

process of blood cell formation

hematopoiesis

also known as cancellous bone

spongy bone

fills the epiphysis

spongy bone

bony plates with spaces filled with bone marrow in spongy bone

trabeculae

outer, fibrous, protective covering of bone

periosteum

where ligaments and tendons attach

periosteum

location of nutrient foramen

periosteum

perforating canal allowing blood vessels to enter and leave the bone

nutrient foramen

pad of hyaline cartilage on the epiphysis

articular cartilage

"shock absorber" on the epiphysis where long bones articulate of join

articular cartilage

lines medullary cavity

endosteum

covers trabeculae

endosteum

central shaft of long bone

diaphysis

consists of central medullary cavity surrounded by compact bone

diaphysis

fills the medullary cavity of the diaphysis

yellow marrow

expanded end of long bone that is closest to body attachment

proximal epiphysis

consists mainly of cancellous bone surrounded by a thin layer of compact bone

proximal epiphysis

location of red bone marrow in adults

proximal epipysis

dense, solid bone; surrounds the bone and is covered by periosteum

compact bone

filled with yellow marrow; contains blood vessels; center of diapysis

medullary cavity

hematopoeitic cells (produce blood cells)

red bone marrow

expanded end of long bones that is farthest from the attachment to the body

distal epiphysis

remnant of epiphyseal plate/disk; no longer growing/undergoing mitosis

epiphyseal line

cartilage at the junction of disaphysis and epiphysis where growth actively occurs

epiphyseal plate/disk
