(154 cards)
Skeletal system includes:
Bones of the skeleton, cartilages, ligaments and connective tissues
Five primary functions of the skeletal system
- Support
- Storage of minerals and lipids
- Blood cell production
- Protection
- Leverage
Bones are classified by:

small, flat, irregularly shaped bones between the flat bones of the skull
sutural bones
bones that have complex shapes with short, flat, notched or rigid surfaces ex: spinal vertebrae, pelvic bones, several skull bones
irregular bones
small and boxy bones ex: carpal bones and tarsal bones

trochanter
a smaller, rough projection
tuberosity

tubercle
a prominent ridge
crest
a low ridge
line
a pointed or narrow process
spine
