Study of the structures, formation and functions of the bones of the body
Osteology
are bones whose length are greater than its width
Long bones
a strong bone of a compact bone with a hallow space in the center
Diaphysis
is the space inside the shaft with yellow bone marrow
Medullary cavity
are the ends of a long bone and consists of an outer compact and inner spongy portion
Epiphysis
Relatively short than the long bones
Miniature long bones
are bones having the same dimensions in length, width and thickness but they are shaped irregularly
Short bones
are relatively thin or curved more often that they are flat
Flat bones
have no particular shape
Irregular bones
is dense and looks smooth and homogenous
Dense or compact bone
is composed of small needlelike pieces of bone called trabeculae
Spongy bone or cancellous bone
Bones that develop directly from the mesenchyme of the embryo forming a membrane
Membrane
Develops from the mesenchyme passing through a performed hyaline cartilage model
Cartilage
forms the tip of the shoulder and articulates with the clavicle
Acromion
a smooth, shallow socket found below the acromion and receives the head of the humerus forming the glenohumeral joint
Glenoid cavity/fossa
A hook or beaklike projections which curls forward beneath the clavicle
Corocoid process
Internal area and articulate with the head of the radius
Capitulum
medial area and articules with the ulna
Trochlea
recieves the coronoid process of the ulna during flexion of the forearm
coronoid fossa
found above the trochlea, recieves the olecranon process of the ulna when the forearm is extended
olecranon fossa
serves as attahcment of the tendon of brachioradialis
styloid process
3 fused bones of the pelvis
illium, ischium, pubis
curved rim of the iliac along the upper border
iliac crest
