Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

60 notecards = 15 pages (4 cards per page)

Thin, flattened and usually curved. Most bones of the skull, the ribs, and the sternum are flat bones

front 10

Irregular bones

back 10

The vertebrate, which make up the spinal column, and the hip bones.

front 11

What is the relationship between muscle function and bones?

back 11

Muscles use bones as levers to bring about body movement

front 12

Diaphysis

back 12

Or shaft makes up most of the bone's length and is composed of compact bone

front 13

Periosteum

back 13

The diaphysis is covered and protected by a fibrous connective tissue membrane

front 14

Perforating

back 14

Hundreds of connective tissue fibers

front 15

Epiphyses

back 15

Ends of long bone

front 16

Articular cartilage

back 16

Covers the external surface of the epiphysis. Glassy hyaline cartilage, it provides a smooth, slippery surface that decreases friction at joint surfaces

front 17

Epiphyseal line

back 17

In adult bone there is A thin line spanning the epiphysis that looks a bit different from the rest of the area.

front 18

Epiphyseal plate

back 18

A flat plate of hyaline cartilage seen in young growing bone. Causes the lengthwise growth of a long bone

front 19

Yellow marrow or medullary cavity

back 19

In adult cavity of the shaft is primarily a storage of adipose tissue.

front 20

Red marrow

back 20

In infants this area forms blood cells

front 21

Osteocytes

back 21

Mature bone cells

front 22

Lacunae

back 22

Osteocytes are found within the matrix in tiny cavities

front 23

Lamellae

back 23

The lacunae are arranged in concentric circles

front 24

Central canal

back 24

Surrounds the lamellae

front 25

Osteon

back 25

Complex consisting of central canal and matrix rings

front 26

Canaliculi

back 26

Tiny canals. Radiate outward from the central canals to all lacunae

front 27

What is the anatomical name for thru shaft of a long bone

back 27

Diaphsis

front 28

What is the importance of canaliculi?

back 28

They carry nutrients to the bone cells

front 29

Ossification

back 29

Bones form using hyaline cartilage structures as their models

front 30

Osteoblast

back 30

Bone forming cells

front 31

Osteoblasts

back 31

Bone-destroying cells in bones
