Boney characteristics
Growth and plates Condyle- rounded part Epicondyle Facet- where bones fit together Foramen Fossa Linea
Epiphysis
End of long bone that makes contact in a joint. “Head”
Metaphysis
Transition between shaft and head “neck” where growth plate is located
Diaphsis
“Shaft” of long bone
Compact bone
High in mineral content, high resistive force
Spongy Bone
Location of osteocytes and RBC production
Center of bone
Medullary canal

Sternum, Clavicle, Scapula
Bones of the sternum
Manubrium, body, Xiphoid Process
Winging Scapula:
Shoulder muscles have poor control and scapula pulls away from ribcage.
