Tuberosity
A rough elevated surface that marks the attachment of a ligament or tendon
Tubercle
small rounded projection;
Crest
Narrow ridge of bone; usually prominent
Trochanter
Very large, blunt, irregularly shaped process on the femur.
Condyle
Rounded articular projection.
Line
Narrow ridge of bone, less prominant then crest vertically on a long bone or area horizontally on a long bone where a growth plate has closed.
Epicondyle
Raised area on or above a condyle.
Spine
Sharp, slender, often pointed projection.
Process
Any bone prominence.
Head
Bony expansion carried on a narrow neck.
Facet
Smooth, nearly flat articular surface.
Ramus
Armlike bar of bone.
*Groove
Furrow
*Fissure
Irregular elongated hole in a bone
*Foramen
Round or oval opening through a bone.
*Meatus
Canal-like passageway
*canal
canal
*Fossa
Shallow, basin-like depression in a bone, often serving as an articular surface.
Bone markings
Sites of muscle, ligament and tendon attachment, as joint surfaces, or as conduits for blood vessels and nerves.
types of tissue in bone
osseous, nervous, cartilage fibrous connective tissue, muscle and epithelial in blood vessels
types of bone
compact = dense made up of osteons , rigid outer bone
spongy=porous inner bone, small trabeculae of bone and lots of open space
classifications of bone
long =(humerus, femur, phalanges) more long then wide, shaft with head, mostly compact bone
short= (talas, tarsals, carpals) cube like, more spongy
flat= thin, flat, slightly curved (sternum, scapula, ribs, most skull bones)
irregular= all other shapes (vertebra and pelvic girdle)
Cartilage
Contains no blood vessels or nerves
hyaline= support with flexability- end of bones, costal cartilages, nasal and respirtory cartilages
elastic =flexable - ear and epiglottis
fibrocartilage= highly compressible, great tensile strength - knee menisci, antifretegral discs, pubic syphisis
Perichondrium
Dense irregular connective tissue membrane covering cartilage- delivers nutrients to cartlage via blood vessels
Number of bones in the body
206, 8 cranial ,14 facial
skeletal classification
axial (80) (skull, vertebral, thoracic cage) and appendicular (126) (limbs and girdles)
