Notes: The Skeletal System

General Vocabulary
Cartilage- Is a resilient & smooth ______; rubber-like padding that covers and protects the ends of long ______at the joints, and is a structural component of the ______, the ______, the ______, the bronchial tubes, the intervertebral ______, and many other body components. It is not as hard and rigid as bone, but it is much stiffer and much less flexible than ______.
Cartilaginous Joint- One of three types of joints in the body (with ______and ______joints); cartilaginous joints, held together by flexible ______that allows for limited movement, are found in between the ______in the ______.
Cortical bone- Dense, strong ______layer surrounding a bone’s relatively light ______-like inner structure. Also known as compact bone, it is called cortical because it forms the outer ______(outer coating) of the bone. Cortical bone makes up ____% of the weight of the human skeleton.
Fibrous joint- Found only in the ______, a type of joint that connects bones with bones with ______tissue and allows for no movement.
Ligament- Type of ______tissue that connects ______to one another and limits movement between them.
Synovial joint- Type of the joint which is designed to facilitate movement; it is filled with a lubricating fluid. There are six types of synovial joints: ______joints allow rotation, as, for example in the neck; ______joints allow for a body part to be straightened or retracted, as in the elbow; ______joints, for example, in the hip, allow for radial movement; ______joints, found in the thumb, permit up-and-down and forward-and-backward movement, but not rotation; ______joints, such as those between the intertarsal bones of the feet, allow for gliding of bones; and ______joints, for instance, in the wrist, allow for the same movement as ball-and-socket joints, but to lesser extent.
Tendon- Band of connective tissue that attaches a ______to a bone.
Trabecular bone- Lighter inner part of bone, also called ______bone, which is protected by a ______outer layer (cortical bone); trabecular bone often contains red bone ______, in which red blood cells are ______.
