Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line

Bones (Part 1)

front 1

How do you classify bones?

back 1

Shape

internal tissue orginization

bone markings

front 2

These bones are small, flat, irregular bones between the flat bones of the skull.

back 2

Sutural bones

front 3

These bones have complex shapes with short, flat notched, or ridged surfaces.

back 3

Irregular bones

front 4

These bones are small and boxy.

back 4

Short bones

front 5

These bones are thin with parallel surfaces, provide protection for underlying soft tissues and offer extensive surface area for skeletal muscle to attach to.

back 5

Flat bones

front 6

These bones are long and slender and are typically found in arms, legs, hands, feet, fingers, and toes.

back 6

Long bones

front 7

These bones are small and flat. There are only two of them

back 7

Sesamoid bones

front 8

Concerning the structure of a long bone, the heavy wall of compact bone surrounding the central space called the medullary cavity is what?

back 8

Diaphysis

front 9

Concerning the structure of a long bone, the wide part at each end that articulates with other bones and is mostly made up of sponge bone is called what?

back 9

Epiphysis

front 10

The meeting point of the diaphysis and epiphysis is known as what?

back 10

Metaphysis

front 11

Give an example of a flat bone

back 11

Parietal bone

front 12

A flat bone has compact bone on the outside and spongy bone on in inside, similar to a sandwich. what is the spongy layer called?

back 12

Diploe

front 13

These form narrow pathways through the bone matrix between lacunae and blood vessels for nutrients and waste exchange.

back 13

Canaliculi

front 14

This covers the outer surface of bones (except at the joints) and consists of outer fibrous layers and inner cellular layers.

back 14

Periosteum

front 15

This membrane is an incomplete cellular layer that lines the medullary cavity, covers trabeculae of spongy bone, and lines the central canals.

back 15

Endosteum

front 16

An endosteum contains what cells?`

back 16

osteoblast

osteoprogenitor cells

osteoclasts

front 17

Where the cellular layer is incomplete, the matrix is exposed allowing osteoclasts and osteoblasts to do what?

back 17

remodel matrix components

front 18

What are the 4 kinds of bone cells?

back 18

Osteoclasts

Osteoblasts

Osteocytes

Osteoprogenitor cells

front 19

These cells are the most abundant, maintain the bone matrix, live in lacunae and are connected by canaliculi.

back 19

Osteocytes

front 20

What are the two major functions of osteocytes?

back 20

maintain protein and mineral content of the bone matrix

help repair bone damage

front 21

What is the basic functional unit of compact bone?

back 21

Osteon

front 22

Osteocytes are arranged in ??? around a ??? containing blood vessels that supply blood to and from the osteon.

back 22

Concentric lamellae

Central Canal

front 23

These radiate through the lamellae containing the lacunae of osteons with one another and the central canal.

back 23

Canaliculi

front 24

These are passageways lying perpendicular to the central canal that carry blood vessels deeper into the bone and to the marrow cavity.

back 24

Perforating canals

front 25

This is found at the outer and inner surfaces of bones where they are covered by the periosteum and endosteum.

back 25

Circumferential Lamellae

front 26

What kind of osteon arrangement in bones makes them very strong when stressed along the axis of alignment?

back 26

Parallel to the long axis of the diaphysis

front 27

Spongy bone doesn't have osteons but rather a matrix that forms an open network of what?

back 27

Trabeculae

front 28

The space between trabeculae is filled with what?

back 28

Red bone marrow

front 29

Trabeculae are oriented along what?

back 29

Stress lines

front 30

What are bone markings?

back 30

points of muscle, tendon attachments that allow vessels and nerves throughway and where other bones articulate

front 31

What are the three kinds of bone markings?

back 31

Depressions/grooves

Elevations/projections

Tunnels

front 32

This kind of bone marking is usually found along the bone surface.

back 32

Depressions/grooves

front 33

These bone markings are where tendons and ligaments attach and where adjacent bones articulate (joints).

back 33

Elevations/Projections

front 34

These bone markings are where blood vessels and nerves enter the bone.

back 34

Tunnels

front 35

Give the 4 different kinds of projection bone markings.

back 35

Head

Facet

Condyle

Ramus

front 36

Give the 6 different kinds of depression and opening bone markings.

back 36

Meatus

Sinus

Fossa

Groove

Fissure

Foramen

front 37

The axial skeleton has how many bones?

back 37

80

front 38

The axial skeleton consists of what three major regions?

back 38

Skull

Vertebral Column

Thoracic Cage
