Term
4 Major Bone Types
Definition
1. Short
2. Irregular
3. Long
4. Flat
Term
Flat
Definition
Smooth, broad surface

ex: ribs, sternum
Term
Long
Definition
cylindrical shaft, broad ends

ex: femur
Term
Short
Definition
small, thick bones

ex: carpals, tarsals
Term
Process
Definition
a broad designation of any prominence or prolongation
- always sticks out
ex: acromion, coracoid
Term
Spine (of a bone)
Definition
an abrupt or pointed projection

ex: spine of scapula
Term
trochanter
Definition
- a large, usually blunt process
* only seen in the femur
Term
tubercle
Definition
a small, rounded eminence

ex:tubercle of humerus
Term
Crest
Definition
- a prominent ridge

ex: crest of ilium
Term
Head
Definition
- normally seen at the end of a long bone
- a large, rounded articular end of a bone, often set off by a shaft of a long bone by a neck

ex: head of femur
Term
Condyle
Definition
a rounded articular prominence of a bone

ex: condyles of femur
Term
Epicondyle
Definition
a projection above a condyle

ex: epicondyle of femur
Term
Facet
Definition
a smooth, flat, or nearly flat articular surface

ex: facets of ribs
Term
Fovea
Definition
- a shallow depression(hole)
Term
Fossa
Definition
a deeper depression(hole)
Term
sulcus
Definition
a groove

ex: sagittal sulcus in the roof of the skull
Term
foramen
Definition
a hole

ex: vertebral foramen
Term
fissure
Definition
- a hallow, cleft-like passage
- cerebral fissures
Term
Scapula
Definition
- the spine of the scapula is always on the posterior aspect
- glenoid fossa: where the head of the humerus articulates(enters)
-Supraspinous fossa: above the spine
-infraspinous fossa: below the spine
-medial border is also called the vertebral border
-lateral border is also called axillary border
Term
Clavicle
Definition
-medial end: sternal end
-lateral end: acromial end
* part of the shoulder girdle
Term
Sternum
Definition
- has 3 parts
1. manubrium
2. body
3. xiphoid process
Term
Humerus
Definition
- coronoid fossa is always anterior
- olecranon fossa is always posterior
- olecranon is a deep fossa
- the greater tubercle of humerus is found on the lateral side; it's a prominent bump
- interbercular groove/bicepital groove (between the 2 tubercles)
- deltoid tuberosity: found on the lateral aspect
- epicondyles(2) of the humerus is found at the distal end of humerus (medial and lateral)
-trochlea: spool of thread shape (distal end)
-capitulum: can only be seen anteriorly, toward the lateral end
Term
Radius & Ulna
Definition
- head of radius: proximal end
- head of ulna: distal end
- styloid process: found at the lateral ends of the radius and ulna
Term
Ulna
Definition
-olecranon process connects to the olecranon fossa
-corocoid process connects to the coronoid fossa
-trochlear notch(c-shaped) connects to the trochlea
-ulnar tuberosity
-interoseous border(medial): innre portion of the radius and ulna
Term
carpals
Definition
-8 small bones
-irregular shapes bones
-2 rows (proximal & distal)
Term
metacarpals
Definition
- 1 per digit
-# the digits(1-5), starting at the thumb
Term
phalanges
Definition
- 3 parts in (2-5)
1. distal
2. middle
3. proximal

- in the thumb there are 2 parts
1. distal
2. proximal
Term
vertebral column
Definition
- cervical column(C1-C7)

C1- atlas
C2 - axis
*no disc between these two
-allows for flexion/extension, & rotation

-thoracic region: T1-T12
-lumbar region: L1-L5
-Sacrum region
5 fused together
-no movement

coccyx region
-tail bone
- no known function
Term
Pelvic Girdle
Definition
- os coxae region/coxal bone
- 3 bones fused together
1. ilium
2. ischium
3. pubis
Term
ilium
Definition
-largest & most superior of the 3
Term
ischium
Definition
under the ilium
Term
pubis
Definition
inner portion: most anterior facing
Term
acetabulum
Definition
holds the head of the femur on the lateral aspect
Term
greater sciatic notch
Definition
- has to be facing posterior
Term
iliac fossa
Definition
- interior, upper portion
Term
obturator foramen
Definition
- big hold under the acetabulum
- nerves flow through
Term
femur
Definition
- head of the femur attached to the acetbulum
- head is on the medial view

posterior
- greater trochanter/lesser trochanter
-linea asprera
-cutout between condyles

anterior:
- can see a little of the greater/lesser trochanter
- no clear rigid/line down the femur
- no definite cutout between condyles
Term
patella
Definition
- rounded shape
- sits in both ligament & muscle
- sits away from the body
- base is at the top (superior)
- apex is at the bottom
Term
Tibia & fibula
Definition
- tibia: larger of the two
- is always medial of the two
tibial tuberosity: bump just below the knee (anterior)
- medial & lateral malleolus: two "big" bumps on the side of the ankle
Term
fibula
Definition
always on the lateral side
- head at the top
Term
