2. Root Words

3. Types of Bone Long Bone Short Bone Flat Bone Irregular Bone
Sesamoid Bone

4. Components of Bones
Bone is made mostly of collagen, a protein that is woven into a flexible framework.
Bone also contains calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate, minerals that add strength and harden the framework.
The combination of calcium and collagen gives the bone its strength and flexibility.

5. Long Bone
Has long axes and expands at ends.
Example : Humerus, Femur

6. Short Bone Cube-like bones with length and width roughly equal
Example: Wrist and Ankle

7. Flat Bone Plate-like structures with broad surfaces
Example: ribs, scapulae, some skull bones

8. Irregular Bones Variety of shapes and connected to several other bones
Example: Vertebrae and facial bones

9. Sesamoid Bone Small and nodular and embedded within tendons
Example: Kneecap (Patella)

10. Epiphysis
Expanded portion at the end of a bone that articulates

11. Articular Cartilage
Layer of cartilage that coats the Epiphysis that allows for cushion

12. Diaphysis
Shaft of the bone, located between Epiphyses

13. Compact Bone Tightly packed tissue that lines the wall of Diaphysis
Provides strength and structure

14. Spongy Bone
Composed of numerous branching plates, with spaces in between
Reduces weight and provides flexibility
Located mainly in Epiphysis

15. Medullary Cavity
Space within the Diaphysis that holds the marrow and blood

16. Marrow
Soft Connective tissue found in Medullary Cavity that produces Red blood cells

17. Humerus (Upper Arm Bone)

18. Radius and Ulna
Radius on Top
Ulna on Bottom

19. Carpals or (Wrist Bones)

20. Metacarpals (Top of Hands)

21. Phalanges (Little Fingers)

22. Ossification
The formation of Bone tissue

23. Endochondral Bones
Bones that develop during fetal stage
