The
epiphysis
is the
rounded end
of a long
bone.
The
diaphysis
is the
shaft
or
midsection
of a
long
bone.
The
diaphysis
is the
shaft
or
midsection
of a
long
bone.
There are three types of joints:
fibrous
joints,
cartilaginous
joints, and
synovial
joints.
Synovial fluid
lubricates the joint cavity and reduces
friction
during movement.
Hyaline cartilage
covers the ends of most bones and forms the
articular surfaces
of some joints.
Fibrocartilage
connects bones at
intervertebral discs.
The two divisions of the skeletal are the
axial
skeleton and the
appendicular
skeleton
Long Bones have a shaft called the
diaphysis
with
epiphyses
at either end
Appendicular
Skeleton consists of the
upper
limbs (
arms
) and
lower
limbs (
legs
)
Short Bones
are roughly
cubical
in shape
Flat Bones
are
thin
and
flat
, such as those that form the
skull
Irregular Bones
do not fit into any other category
Axial Skeleton
is made up of the
skull
,
vertebral column
,
rib cage
,
sternum
, and
hyoid bone
Flat Bones
consist of
thin plates
that protect
organs
or form parts of
joints
Irregular Bones
do not fit into any other category and include the
sphenoid bone
of the
cranium
and the
sacrum
and
coccyx
of the
pelvis
Flat Bones
consist of
thin plates
that protect
organs
, such as the
skull
or
rib cage

The skeleton system has
206
bones
The sutures of the skull are the
coronal
,
lambdoid
, and
squamous
suture.
The coccyx at the inferior end of the sacrum is composed of several
fused
vertebrae
The
ribs
are attached
posteriorly
to the vertebral column
The thoracic cage is composed of
12
pairs of
ribs
The
humerus
,
radius
and
ulna
articulate to form the
elbow
joint
Condyle: a
rounded
process of a bone that
articulates
with another bone. Ex:
Occipital
Condyle
Crest: A
narrow
,
ridgelike
projection Ex:
Iliac crest
of
illium
