Chapter 8- Skeletal System

Little spaces where bone cells and cartilage cells are located.

The numerous structural units that make up compact bone.

A disease that has "frenzied" bone growth and resorption.

Abnormal side-to-side spinal curvature.

Which is the location in the long bone where hematopoiesis occurs?

Cancellous bone is also known as

Strong membrane covering a long bone everywhere except at joint surfaces.

The vertebrae is an example of an irregular bone.

A type of joint with no significant movement. The joints between cranial bones are an example.

The beams that form the lattice of spongy bone are called

Occurs in children as a result of a vitamin D deficiency.

Autoimmune disease involving chronic inflammation beginning in synovial membrane often causing sever crippling.

An area of cartilage called the "growth plate" between the epiphyses and the diaphysis of a bone.

Bone cells are called

These are the primary organs of the skeletal system.

An injury to a ligament around a joint.

The frontal bone is an example of a sesamoid bone.

Which of the following is not a function of the skeletal system?

Central canal which contains blood vessels and nerves.

Bone cancer

The tibia is an example of a short bone.

Bacterial infection of the bone.

This type of joint is the least movable diarthrotic joint.

The patella is an example of a round bone.

Diarthrotic joint that allows movement in only two directions, namely flexion and extension.

Can be caused by overstretching a muscle.

Each ring that makes up a Haversian system.

Abnormal lumbar curvature also known as swayback.

Layer of cancellous bone between two layers of compact bone in a flat bone.

Cartilage cells

Moving away from the midline of the body.

The shaft or hollow tube made of hard compact bone that makes up a long bone.

Only one pair of these joints exists in the body. They make possible the human thumb's great mobility.

A thin membrane that lines the medullary cavity of a long bone.

Bone-dissolving (resorbing) cells

Tiny passageways that connect lacunae with one another and with the central canal in each osteon.

Strong fibrous cords or bands that grow out of the periosteum and lash two bones together.

Process of bones of the body being formed from cartilage models.

This type of diarthrotic joint permits the widest range of movements.

Reduces the angle of the joint, as in bending the elbow.

Bone condition usually found in postmenopausal women resulting from a calcium deficiency.

Cartilage cancer

A joint is which only slight movement is possible. The joint between the two pubic bones is an example.

Bone-forming cells

The ends of a long bone.

Most common noninflammatory disorder of movable joints also known as degenerative joint disease.

The central canals are connected to each other by

Hollow area inside the diaphysis of a bone.

The femur is an example of a long bone.

Makes up the vast majority of our joints. All have a joint capsule, a joint cavity, and a layer of hyaline cartilage.
