Anatomy Ch 7 key terms

6. movable joints that connect and allow for wide movement.
9. an immovably fixed joint between bones connected by fibrous tissue.
10. bones, cartilage, and ligaments that provide shape, protection, and movement.
13. small, cylindrical bones that make up the fingers and toes.
15. immovable fibrous joints that connect the bones of the skull.
17. The outer surface of the articulating portion of the epiphysis is coated with a layer of hyaline cartilage called ___.
18. a type of synovial joint that allows for rotational movement around a single axis.
20. the fluid-filled space between the bones of a synovial joint that allows for smooth and free movement.
21. small, fluid-filled sacs that act as cushions for tendons, bone, and muscles.
24. a type of joint that is typically composed of Fibrocartilage/hyaline cartilage and ligaments or connective tissue.
26. dense, hard outer layer of a bone that provides strength/protection
27. functional junctions between between bones.
29. freely movable joints, also known a synovial joints.
30. a dense layer of vascular connective tissue enveloping the bones except at the surfaces of the joints.

1. The shaft or central part of a long bone.
2. a condition that weakens bones, making them more prone to fractures.
3. the end part of a long bone, initially growing separately from the shaft.
4. a bone cell, formed when an osteoblast becomes embedded in the matrix it has secreted.
5. bones that are longer than they are wide.
7. linear cracks or tears in the tissue that can occur in various parts of the body.
8. connections between two or more bones in the body.
11. a layer of hyaline cartilage in the long bones of children and adolescents that is responsible for growing them.
12. a type of synovial joint where two flat or nearly flat bones glide over one another to allow limited sliding movements.
14. a type of synovial joint where the articulating bones have opposing surfaces that are reciprocally concave and convex like a saddle.
16. cube shaped bones with nearly equal length, width, and thickness. Found primarily in the wrist and ankle.
19. a cell that secretes the matrix for bone formation.
22. spongy tissue found in the center of certain bones that is responsible for producing blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.
23. a cavity within a bone or other tissue, especially one in the bones of the face or skull connecting with the nasal cavities.
25. a large multinucleate bone cell which absorbs bone tissue during during growth/healing.
28. a localized collection of blood outside the circulatory system, typically caused by an injury.
