43
Frontal/Coronal Plane
decides the body vertically into anterior and posterior
44
Sagittal Plane
divides the body vertically into unequal right and left portions
45
Transverse Plane
divides the body horizontally into superior and inferior portions
46
Median Plane
divides the body vertically into left and right portions
47
Cranial Cavity
Space holding the brain
48
Vertebral cavity
Space holding the spine
49
Thoracic cavity
Space containing the heart and lungs
50
Abdominal cavity
largest hollow space of the body, contains the spleen, stomach, liver, kidneys, small intestine, and most of the colon
51
Pelvic cavity
Bowl-like structure, contains the bladder and reproductive organs
52
Frontal bone
located in the forehead area
53
Parietal bones
located in the upper middle section of the skull
54
Temporal bones
located in the temple regions of the skull on either side
55
Occipital bone
located on the back of the skull
56
Nasal bones
located on the nasal area (nose bridge)
57
Zygomatic bones
Cheekbones
58
Maxilla
area above the lips and below the nose
59
Mandible
jaw bone
60
Compact bones
A hard and solid bones that makes up the outer later of all bones and the shafts of long bones
61
Spongy
A porous bones found in animals containing red bone marrow
62
Flat bone
consist of a layers of spongy bone between two thin layers of compact bone. They have marrow but no marrow cavity (Ex: parietal bones)
63
Irregular bone
consist of thin layers of spongy bone surrounded by compact bone and do not fit any other bone descriptions (Ex: Thoracic vertebra)
64
Long bone
consist of a shaft and two ends and it is longer than it is wide. It consists of a thick outside layer with a marrow-filled cavity. The ends of the bone contain spongy bone (Ex: humerus)
65
Short bones
roughly a cube shape with vertical and horizontal dimensions being approximately equal. They consist of mostly spongy bone. The outside surface is a thin layer of compact bone. (EX: carpals)
66
Osteoblasts
A bone-forming cell
67
Osteoclasts
Any of the large multinucleate cells closely associated with areas of bone resorption (healing process)
68
# Cause and Effect Bending
Transverse Fractures
69
# Cause and Effect Twisting
Spiral fractures
70
# Cause and Effect Impact
Comminuted fractures
71
# Bone Reformation Hematoma Formation
Blood vessels that swell to form a mass called a hematoma. The blood clots the broken bones and reduces the blood supply to the injury, thus killing the cells.
72
# Bone Reformation Fibrocartilage Callus Formation
New capillaries begin to form into the clotted blood in the damaged area. Connective tissue cells form a mass of repair tissue called fibrocartilage callus. It contains cartilage, bone, and collagen fibers. This mass closes the gap between broken bones
73
# Bone Reformation Bony Callus Formation
The fibrocartilage callus is gradually replaced by one made of spongy bone, referred to as the bony callus. Osteoclasts and osteoblasts move to the area and multiply
74
# Bone Reformation Bone Remodeling
Over time, the callus is remodeled. The shape will gradually return to normal and there wil be evidence of the fracture.
