You can begin preparing for our Medical Terminology midterm and final by joining my class Quizlet group. This optional but a great study resource.
You can view a spreadsheet with all of the terms here.
In this unit we'll be learning about the Anatomy & Physiology of the Skeletal system.

We'll focus on three learning targets in this assignment:
  1. Describe the structure and function of bones
  2. Identify the different types of bones
  3. Differentiate between the axial and appendicular skeleton

Here is a link to the recording from today's lesson.

What questions do you have about the skeletal system?

I will do my best to answer your questions during our next class session or I can also reply to you here.

Which of the following are functions of the skeletal system?
(select all of the choices that are correct)
Organ protection
Transfer of images
Storage of muscular tissue
Blood cell production
Movement
Storage of nutrients and minerals
Maintaining an upright body posture
Match the two types of bone formation processes with their description
Ossification
The process of building an embryo’s bones.
Calcification
the development of bone from the time an individual is born, and it continues throughout their entire life.
Match the 4 types of bone cells with their description.
Osteocytes
The only bones cells that divide. They divide into osteoblasts.
Osteogenic cells
The cells that generate new bone by creating osteocytes and other proteins that build the strong bone matrix.
Osteoclasts
Mature bone cells that lie within the fully formed bone and are located in the lacuna, a small chamber in the calcified matrix of the bone.
Osteoblasts
Cells are responsible for the maintenance and repair of bone
Match the descriptions of the two types of bone with their characteristics.
Compact bone
Does not have osteons. Found on the ends of long bones. Has internal branches called trabeculae.
Cancellous (spongy) bone
Has many cylinder shaped units called osteons. Makes up the smooth tissue on the outside of bone.
Match the five types of bones with their description.
Sesamoid bones
Built to withstand a great deal of weight and provide support. Are found in the arms and legs.
Irregular bones
Mostly spongy and cube shaped. Allow for movement.
Long bones
Provide protection for soft tissues like the brain and lungs.
Short bones
Surrounded by tendon and their shape resembles a sesame seed.
Flat bones
Shapes that don't fit into a particular category.
Move the stages of healing from a bone fracture in order from the time of fracture (first) unti healing (last).
Hemotoma
Remodeling
Soft callus
Hard callus
Bone projections are features that stick out and bone depressions are holes or indentations in bone.
True
False
Which of the following is true about a Crest bone projections.
They are raised ridges where muscles usually attach to the bone.
It is a rounded bump that fits into a fossa
They are sharp-pointed processes
They make up the distinct end of a long bone
What type of bone depression is a cavity or hollow space within a bone?
Fissure
Fossa
Sulcus
Sinus
Select the bones from the list below that are part of the Appendicular Skeleton.

There are 4 correct choices
Humerus
Hip bone
Vertebrae
Skull
Femur
Coxxyx
