Joint surfaces that are smooth areas of Compacted bone; Covered in Hyaline cartilage also called Articular Cartilage | Articular Surfaces |
Large, round articulars: | Condyle |
Flat A.S with a joint that makes a rocking motion: | Facet |
General term to describe all of the lumps, bumps, and other projections present on the bone: | Processes |
A hole in the bone (like the Natural Forminae) is called: | Foramen |
A depression or sunken area on the surface of the bone: | Fossa |
What are functions of bones: | Supports Protects Leverage Storage |
It prevents Hypercalcemia by allowing the body to deposit calcium into the bones with Osteoblasts. | Calcitonin |
Prevents Hypocalcemia by allowing the body to extract calcium from the bones with Osteoclasts. | Parathyroid |
Dairy Cows have issues with calcium levels, do to a large supply of calcium being extracted from the body after birth. Can cause death if not caught in time. | Milk Fever |
The cranium, bones of the face, and bones of the ears. | Axial Skeleton |

These bones form the caudal portion of the hard palette | Palatine Bones |
These bones form supports for part of the Pharynx. (Milk can definitely come out the nose!) | Pterygoid Bones |
This bone is found at the midline and forms the nasal septum: | Vomer Bone |
Scroll like bones that fill up the space of the nasal cavities are called these: | Turbinates |
This bone supports the base of the tongue, the larynx, pharynx, and aids in swallowing. (Its also the bone that is broken during manual strangulation for all you CSI fans!) | The Hyoid Bone |
_______ is the bone that forms the base of the skull. | The Occipital Bone |
