36

37
Name of grove located inferior side of the rib.
Costal groove
38
A Demifacet does what?

39
What is a Condyle?
A rounded articulating process
40
What is a Process?
Any bony projection
41
What is an Epicondyle?
A projection located above a Condyle
42
What is a Crest?
A prominent ridge of bone
43
Foramen
A round or oval hole in a bone through which nerves or blood vessels pass
44
Sinus
A cavity within a bone
45
What is a Meatus?
A short tubular passage through bone or an opening
46
Fissure
A narrow, slit like opening
47
How do you tell a right rib from a left rib?
- Head articulates with vertebrae - costal groove is inferior and posterior - the shaft curves inferiorly
48
How do you tell a right from a left scapula?
- hold the bone with the spine facing YOU and the apex facing DOWN - if the acromion faces left - it is a left scapula - NOTE: the corocoid process is spelled with a "c" and so is "scapula"
49
How do you tell a right from a left humerus?
Humerus - hold the bone so that the capitulum and trochlea face YOU (anterior) -if the head faces left - it is a left humerus
50
How do you tell a right from a left radius (lateral most thumb side)?
- orient the bone with the round head UP and the distal end DOWN - look at "bumps" at the distal end - look for the styloid process at the distal end - if it is on the right side - it is a right radius
51
How to tell a right ulna from a left
Ulna - face the trochlear notch away from you (U-shaped process) and look at the olecranon - ask yourself - on what side is the radial notch? - if it is on the right - it is a right ulna
52
How to tell right from left hand
- look at the movement of the thumb-it cannot move posteriorly - thumb is lateral (anatomical position)
53
How can you tell a right from a left hip bone?
- articular surface is anterior and medial | - lilac fossa is anterior on the ilium
54
How can you tell a right from a left femur?
- the head must face IN and the lesser trochanter must be on the BACK side of the bone - so hold the bone so that the head is on top and the trochanters are on the BACK surface of the bone - if the head faces left - it is a left femur
55
How to tell a right from left patella
- Posterior surface has articular facets - the apex is inferior - lateral articular facet is most extensive.
56
How do you tell a right from a left clavicle?
a. point the flat sternal end toward the midline b. the clavicle bulges OUT then IN c. the conoid tubercle must point DOWN
57
Cal
Calcaneus (tarsal the largest one)
58
Told
Talus (tarsal after calcaneus)
59
Norma
Navicular (tarsal after talus)
60
Milk
Medial Cuneiform (tarsal after navicular)
61
Is
Intermediate Cuneiform (tarsal after medial cuneiform)
62
Like
Lateral cuneiform (tarsal after intermediate cuneiform)
63
Cream
Cuboid (tarsal after lateral tarsal)
64
Types of ossification
- endochondral ossification | - intramembranous ossification
