|---|---|
| Bones |  are rigid organs that form part of the endoskeleton of vertebrates; serve the purposes of protection, shape, movement, sound transduction, blood production; stores minerals and fats |
| Osseous Tissue (Bone Tissue) | type of dense connective tissue |
| Frontal Bone | Bone that protects the frontal lobe of the brain, in the cranium |
| Cranium | The part of the skull that encloses the brain |
| Parietal Bone | Either of two skull bones between the frontal and occipital bones and forming the top and sides of the cranium |
| Temporal Bone | A thick bone forming the side of the human cranium and encasing the inner ear |
| Sphenoid Bone | butterfly-shaped bone at the base of the skull |
| Ethmoid Bone | a small bone filled with air spaces that forms part of the eye sockets and the nasal cavity |
| Nasal Bone | an elongated rectangular bone that forms the bridge of the nose |
| Lacrimal Bone | small fragile bone making up part of the front inner walls of each eye socket and providing room for the passage of the ________ ducts |
| Maxilla Bone | the irregularly shaped bone that forms the upper jaw. |
| Zygomatic Bone | the arch of bone beneath the eye that forms the prominence of the cheek |
| Occipital Bone | a saucer-shaped membrane bone that forms the back of the skull |
| Mandible | the lower jawbone |
| Atlas | the 1st cervical vertebra |
| Axis | the 2nd cervical vertebra |
| Cervical Vertebrae | upper seven bones in the neck, part of vertebral column |
| Lumbar Vertebrae | the largest and strongest of the vertebrae of the spinal column, located in the lower back. the lumbar vertebrae consist of five large segments of the movable part of the spinal column; 5 bones identified as L1-L5 |
| Thoracic Vertebrae | second set of 12 vertebrae; they articulate with the 12 pairs of ribs to form the outward curve of the spine |
| Clavicle | bone linking the scapula and sternum |
| Scapula | either of two flat triangular bones one on each side of the shoulder in human beings |
| Humerus | bone extending from the shoulder to the elbow |
| Radius | the length of a line segment between the center and circumference of a circle or sphere |
| Ulna | the inner and longer of the two bones of the human forearm |
| Carpus | a joint between the distal end of the radius and the proximal row of carpal bones |
| Metacarpus | the part of the hand between the carpus and phalanges |
| Phalanges | the bones of the fingers and toes |
| Ribs | Same number as thoracic vertebrae. Articulate dorsally with the thoracic vertebrae, articulate ventrally with the sternum. Ventral portion is cartilage |
| Sternum | the flat bone that articulates with the clavicles and the first seven pairs of ribs |
| Pelvis | the structure of the vertebrate skeleton supporting the lower limbs in humans and the hind limbs or corresponding parts in other vertebrates; wider for females |
| Femur | the longest and thickest bone of the human skeleton |
| Tibia | the inner and thicker of the two bones of the human leg between the knee and ankle |
| Fibula | the outer and thinner of the two bones of the human leg between the knee and ankle |
| Tarsus | the part of the foot of a vertebrate between the metatarsus and the leg |
| Metatarsus | the skeleton of the human foot between the toes and the tarsus |
| Malleus | the ossicle attached to the eardrum |
| Incus | the ossicle between the malleus and the stapes |
| Stapes | the stirrup-shaped ossicle that transmits sound from the incus to the cochlea |
| Joint | (anatomy) the point of connection between two bones or elements of a skeleton (especially if the articulation allows motion) |
| Frontalis | forehead muscle (Raises eyebrow and facial expressions) |
| orbicularis oculi | muscle that allows winking, blinking |
| orbicularis oris | sphincter muscle used for "puckering up" and whistling |
| Sternocleidomastoid | one of two thick muscles running from the sternum and clavicle to the mastoid and occipital bone |
| Deltoid | a large triangular muscle covering the shoulder joint and serving to abduct and flex and extend and rotate the arm |
| Pectoralis major | a skeletal muscle that adducts and rotates the arm |
| Biceps | any skeletal muscle having two origins (but especially the muscle that flexes the forearm) |
| Abdomen | the region of the body of a vertebrate between the thorax and the pelvis |
