Lab 3 Basic Bone and Tooth Bio Flashcards
is the study of the structure and form of the bony skeleton, which includes assessments of gross anatomy as well as different degrees of microscopic structure.
Osteology
is the study of the structure and form of teeth, or the dentition.
Odontology
is the study of the shape and appearance of the skeleton and dentition.
Morphology
how the human body is oriented with respect to the directions and planes of reference
the body is standing with the feet pointing forward and planted on the ground, the head is facing forward, and the palms are facing forward.
Standard Anatomical Position
towards the head, or top, of the body
Superior (cranial / cephalic)
towards the bottom away from the head, the opposite of superior, Caudal means towards the tail in quadrupeds
Inferior (Caudal)
towards the front. ventral means towards the stomach in quadrupeds
Anterior (ventral)
Toward the back, the opposite of Anterior
Posterior (Dorsal)
Toward the midline of the body
(meaning closer to the midline. Does the blue line seem to indicate a position towards the center of the skull)
Medial
Away from the midline, the opposite of medial
(refers to something that is away from the midline of the body. Can you identify if the blue line is positioned towards the side of the skull or closer to the center?)
Lateral
away from the surface of the body, inner
internal (deep)
Toward the surface of the body, outer
external (superficial)
Toward the palm of the hands, the opposite of ________ is dorsal
Palmar
Toward the sole of the foot, the opposite of ________
is dorsal
Plantar
toward or near the axial skeleton, or main mass of the body
(is typically used to describe positions closer to the trunk of the body, but in the context of the skull, it might not be the most relevant term.)
Proximal
away from axial skeleton, or main mass of the body, opposite of proximal
Distal
Some individuals also have extra bones in the joints of their skull. These are called -
sutural bones, or ossicles, or Wormian bones.
all bone is composed of two components:
collagen and hydroxyapatite.
_________ is the primary protein component of bone that produces flexibility.
Collagen
_______ a calcium phosphate mineral that provides rigidity to bone.
Hydroxyapatite
________ is an inherited genetic condition in which collagen production is impaired. The result is a skeleton prone to sudden fracture
Osteogenesis Imperfecta
_____ means visible to the naked eye without magnification
Gross
the two types of bones visible without magnification
- compact bone (cortical bone)
- spongy bone, trabecular, cancellous bone
___________ is the smooth, dense bone found on the external surfaces of elements and also lines the interior of the medullary cavity of the long bones.
Compact bone (cortical bone)
