Skeletal System (General Attributes (Major Functions (Support The…

- - - - Cephalic
        the head of the body, including the frontal (forehead), Orbital (eye sockets), Nasal (nose), Oral (mouth), Occipital (back of head), Back (dorsal scapular region), vertebral (area of spine), Lumbar (lower back), Sacral(inferior to lumbar vertebrae) Gluteal (butt) Perineal (area between anus and external genitalia), and mental (Chin area)
      - Cervical
        consisting of the neck region including cervical vertebrae
      - Thoracic
        Including the sternal (area around sternum), axillary (armpit area), and Mammary (pectoral region)
    - - Upper Limb
        Acromial (shoulder), Brachial (arm), Antebrachial (elbow pit), Olecranal (elbow), Antebrachial (forearm), Carpal (Wrist)
      - Manus
        Pollex (Thumb), Metacarpal (palm), Palmar (relative to the palm), Digital (Fingers)
      - Lower limb
        Coxal (Hip), Femoral (Thigh), Patellar (Front of knee), Popliteal (back of knee), crural (leg), Sural (calf), Fibular or Peroneal (side of leg)
      - Pedal
        Tarsal (ankle), Calcaneal (heel), Metatarsal (bones of the mid foot), Digital (toes), Plantar (bottom of foot), Hallux (big toe)
- - - - Depressions and Openings
        Foramen- Opening through bone round
        Groove- Furrow
        Fissure- slit like opening usually narrow
        Notch- Indentation at structural edge
        Fossa- Basin like depression for articulation
        Meatus- canal-like passage
        Sinus- mucous membrane lined cavity in bone
      - Surfaces
        Head- bony expansion carried on neck
        Facet- Near flat smooth articular surface
        Condyle- rounded articular projection often articulates with fossa
      - Projections and ligament/tendon attachments
        Tuberosity- Large rounded projection
        Crest- prominent narrow Ridge of bone
        Trochanter- large blunt irregular projection
        Line- less prominent than crest ridge of bone
        Tubercle- small process rounded projection
        Epicondyle- Raised area on or near condyle
        Spine- Sharp commonly pointed projection
        Process- any prominence of bone
- - - - Covered in periosteum, attached are perforated fibers connect periosteum to compact bone. this gives tendons/ligaments an anchor
        two parts of periosteum,
        part 1
        Dense Irregular Connective Tissue that covers all of the bone except points of articulation, acts as an attachment for tendons/ligaments
        part 2
        the inner layer composed of osteogenic tissue, capable of generating new bone
