Superficial layer of the dermis, made of loose, areolar connective tissue

Hard, dense connective tissue that forms the structural elements of the skeleton

Semi-rigid connective tissue found on the skeleton in areas where flexibility and smooth surfaces support movement

Production of blood cells, which occurs in the red marrow of the bones

Doctors who specialize in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders and injuries

Bone tissue; a hard, dense connective tissue that forms the structural elements of the skeleton

Connective tissue in the interior cavity of a bone where hematopoiesis takes place

Organ system composed of bones and cartilage that provides for movement, support, and protection

Connective tissue in the interior cavity of a bone where fat is stored

Thin and curved bone; serves as a point of attachment for muscles and protects internal organs

Bone of complex shape; protects internal organs from compressive forces

Cylinder-shaped bone that is longer than it is wide; functions as a lever

Small, round bone embedded in a tendon; protects the tendon from compressive forces

Cube shaped bone that is approximately equal in length, width, and thickness; provides limited motion

Thin layer of cartilage covering an epiphysis; reduces friction and acts as a shock absorber

Dense osseous tissue that can withstand compressive forces

Tubular shaft that runs between the proximal and distal ends of a long bone

Wide section at each end of a long bone; filled with spongy bone and red marrow

Delicate membranous lining of a bone’s medullary cavity

Sheet of hyaline cartilage in the metaphysis of an immature bone; replaced by bone tissue as the organ grows in length

Cell responsible for forming new bone

Cell responsible for resorbing bone

Primary cell in mature bone; responsible for maintaining the matrix

Undifferentiated cell with high mitotic activity; the only bone cells that divide; they differentiate and develop into osteoblasts

Fibrous membrane covering the outer surface of bone and continuous with ligaments

Trabeculated osseous tissue that supports shifts in weight distribution

Manual manipulation of a broken bone to set it into its natural position without surgery

Collar of hyaline cartilage and bone that forms around the outside of a fracture

Blood clot that forms at the site of a broken bone

Fibrocartilaginous matrix, in the endosteal region, between the two ends of a broken bone

Process, during bone growth, by which bone is resorbed on one surface of a bone and deposited on another

Surgical exposure of a bone to reset a fracture

Region of the epiphyseal plate that makes new chondrocytes to replace those that die at the diaphyseal end of the plate and contributes to longitudinal growth of the epiphyseal plate

Process by which osteoclasts resorb old or damaged bone at the same time as and on the same surface where osteoblasts form new bone to replace that which is resorbed

Region of the epiphyseal plate that anchors the plate to the osseous tissue of the epiphysis

Zone of calcified matrix

Region of the epiphyseal plate closest to the diaphyseal end; functions to connect the epiphyseal plate to the diaphysis

Region of the epiphyseal plate where chondrocytes from the proliferation zone grow and mature and contribute to the longitudinal growth of the epiphyseal plate

Region of the epiphyseal plate where chondrocytes grow and mature, contributing to the longitudinal growth of the epiphyseal plate.

Appendicular skeleton

All bones of the upper and lower limbs, plus the girdle bones that attach each limb to the axial skeleton.

Central, vertical axis of the body, including the skull, vertebral column, and thoracic cage.

Small bone located at the inferior end of the adult vertebral column, formed by the fusion of four coccygeal vertebrae; also known as the "tailbone."

Three small bones located in the middle ear cavity that serve to transmit sound vibrations to the inner ear.
