axial
pelvic girdle, sternum body
appendicular
limbs or connecting to limbs, includes coxal scapula and clavicle
epiphysis
red bone marrow at end of bones that produces red and white blood cells
diaphysis

epiphyseal plate
growth plate between epiphysis and diaphysis made of cartilage constantly replaced by bony tissue
medullary cavity
contains fatty bone marrow
cortical bone
solid strong bone
periosteum
membrane on outside of bone
cancellous
more porous and less dense that compact bone, sponge bone
hematopoiesis

comminuted fracture
splintered bone
compound fracture
open wound leading to site of fracture, often protrudes skin
greenstick fracture
incomplete fracture, bone is partially broken and bent
longitudinal fracture
fracture that runs parallel to long axis of bone
oblique fracture
fracture that runs across bone at an angle
pathological fracture
fracture resulting from weakened bone due to osteoporosis or cancer
simple fracture
doesn’t penetrate the skin (closed)
spiral fracture
bone has been twisted apart
stress fracture
small crack in bone resulting from chronic, excessive impact; overuse injury
transverse fracture
