SKELETAL SYSTEM

• Vertebral Column of vertebrae is separated by intervertebral discs with normal curvature
• sternum is part of the bony thorax; forms the breastbone and is a flat bone
• The largest bone in the human body is the femur, which is the thigh bone
• forearm bone in the pinky side is ulna
• forearm consists of two bones: the ulna and the radius.
• Fibrocartilage callus replaced by a bony callus during bone fracture repair
• compact bone is a homogeneous bone tissue; forms the outer layer of bones
• cancellous bone is spongy bone; found inside compact bone
• bone fractures are breaks in bones; types include closed (simple) and open (compound) fractures
• ischium is a curved bone forming the base of each half of the pelvis
• irregular bone do not fit into other bone classification categories
• humerus a shinbone; larger bone of the lower leg
• appendicular skeletal includes limbs (appendages), pectoral girdle, and pelvic girdle
• fibula a thin bone next to the tibia in the lower leg
• patella is a flat triangular bone located at the front of the knee joint
• carpals are eight small irregularly shaped bones that form the wrist
• hyoid bone the only bone that does not articulate with another bone; base for the tongue
• metatarsals bones of the sole of the foot
• flat bone a thin and flattened bones with thin layers of compact bone around spongy bone
• humerus is an upper arm bone
• ulna-close to pinky, radius close to thumb, and carpals a wrist bone
• bone on the top of vertebrae is cervical
• lumbar is the bottom vertebrae
• the three bone that articulate to form the knee bone are the patella, tibia, and femur
• the three bone that articulate to form the elbow joints are the radius, ulna, and humerus
