A projection for muscle attachment (magnum-spinal cord)
There are 5 surface features. Define "Fossa"
A air-filled cavity inside a bone (forehead)
A hole in the bone, quite shallow; for passage of nerves.
A depression in the muscle
A shallow depression in the bone
There are 5 surface features. Define "Sinus"

There are 5 surface features. Define "Foramen"
hole in a body one for passage of you muscles, bones and blood
Hole in a bone for passage of blood vessels/nerves. Your heel and calf are examples of this.
Hole in a bone for passage of blood vessels/nerves. (foramen Magnum - spinal cord)
Man-made hole in surface skin to pass vital nutrients to sick people
There are 5 surface features. Define "trochanter"
A projection for depressions in a bone
A projection for muscle attachment (heel or ankle)
A projection of nutrients passed through a cavity
A projection/depression of ones heel
Surface features are projections, depressions, and holes in/out of the skeleton that allow for:
muscle
to move the
passage for blood vessels and nerves can move through the bone
gives our body
There are 206 bones in the human skeleton
Bones are categorized into 4 different types
a bone that develops in a tendon is called a "tendousin bone" e.g - patella
Phalanges are a good example of a "irregular bone".
The "ends" of a bone is called the epiphysis.
The shaft of the bone is called the diaphysis.
the articulating surface on the ends of the bone is covered in "hyaline cartilage" (teflon like tissue) to allow for smooth movement.
theres 5 cervical vertebrae.
3 general categories of joints:
1) Cartilaginous
2) Fiberous
3)
Synovial Joints: Knee, elbow, hip, etc (limited movement)
Fiberous Joint - it can be found in the hand. Fixed joint (no movement)
Cartilaginous joint - Found in the ribs/vertabrae ( Minimal movement)
The correct name for a joint is a
There are bones in the Appendicular skeleton.
Correct name for the collar bone to shoulder blade articulation?
articulation
In the position the radius is more in relation to the ulna
what is the name of the fossa where the humerus articulates with the scapula?
fossa
Vertebrae numbers:
There are cervical vertebrae
there are thoracic vertebrae
there are lumbar vertebrae
there are sacrum
there are coccyx
males pelvis are more narrow and deep
The vertebral column is linked together by a complex arrangement of ligaments of cartilage and ligaments which are designed to improve:
--> Flexibility
--> Support
--> Protection
there are 26 bones In a vertebrae column.
in the developing fetus there are 26 vertebrae.
Each vertebrae consists of the following: 1. Body 2. Vertebral formaen (passage of the spinal cord) 3. Spinous Process (muscle and ligament attached) 4. Transverse process (muscle attachment)
This is not a trick question. Read throughly. The answer is true.
