○
○
● Bone
Marrow:______________________________________________________________
○ ______ ______ acts as a reservoir for calcium and phosphorus.

(A) Long Bone 1. _____ Points of attachment for

muscles.
(B) Short Bone 2. _____ Has a complex shape and
protects internal organs.
(C) Flat Bone
3. _____ Semi-rigid form of connective
(D) Irregular Bone tissue that provides flexibility.
4. _____ Cylinder-like shape, longer than
(E) Sesamoid bone wide and is used for leverage.
5. _____Embedded in tendons and
(F) Cartilage protects tendons from compressive
force.
6. ______Cube-like shape, equal in
length and width. Provides stability,
support, while allowing for some
motion.

Joints

● Where:

● Consist of:

_____________ classification _____________ classification

- Fibrous joint: bones connected by - synarthrosis: immoble, just provides a strong

connective tissue union

- Cartilaginous joint: bones together by - amphiarthrosis: limited mobility

cartilage
- Diarthrosis: freely moveable joint
- Synovial joint: bones aren't connected but
come together via fluid cavity

(A) Pivot 1. ____ Biaxial joint; allows

flexion/extension,
(B) Hinge abduction/adduction, and
circumduction movements

2. _____ Multiaxial joint; allows
(D) Saddle inversion and eversion of foot, or
flexion, extension, and lateral flexion
(E) Plane of the vertebral column
3. ______Uniaxial joint; allows
(F) Ball-and-Socket rotational movement
4. ______ Biaxial joint; allows
flexion/extension,
abduction/adduction, and
circumduction movements
