| helps with the process of breathing and located in the lower portion of the sternum | Xiphoid Process |
| flared portion of a long bone, between the diaphysis of the bone and the epiphyseal plate at the end of the bone | Metaphysis |
| fibrous, connective bands binding bones to other bones- supports, strengthens, and stabilizes the joint | Ligament |
| spongy or trabecular bone that is made up of bony fibers that are like a spongy latticework in the inner part of a bone | Cancellous bone |
| bone cell that absorbs and removes unwanted bony tissue | Osteoclast |
| soft spot between skull bones of an infant | Fontanelle |
| where the spinal cord is bent abnormally to the side | Scoliosis |
| happens because of osteoporosis, “hunchback”, this condition puts pressure of the spine which reduces a person's height and stances | Kyphosis |
| formation of bone marrow | Myelopoiesis |
| inflammation of a bone “Paget's disease” - affects the growth of new bone or replacement bones in adults. Leads to enlarged, weak, and easily breakable bones. | Osteitis |
| loss of calcium from bones | Decalcification |
| knee cap | Patella |
| pore or passage in the bone decrease in bone density (mass)- the bone has a lot of holes in it, not enough support thinning and weakening of bone | Osteoporosis |
| symmetric disorder of muscle weakness and pain due to inflammation of many muscles | Polymyositis |
| a smooth, strong, and silk white tissue that cushions the joint and allows it to move smoothly and efficiently | Articular Cartilage |
| act of turning the palm down | Pronation |
| fluid filled sac arising from the joint capsule or tendons- treat by removing the fluid from the cyst common in the wrist | Ganglion cyst |
| pain and stiffness in the muscles and fibrous tissue, especially shoulders, neck, hips, and knees | Fibromyalgia |
| lack of strength | Asthenia |
| bone broken but no open wound in skin | Simple fracture |
| the crackling or grating sound caused by the bone or bones and cartilage rubbing against each other- due to: wear tear of age, broken bones, immobility | Crepitus |
| condition of high concentration of potassium in blood | Hyperkalemia |
| a system of small canals that contains blood vessels and brings oxygen and nutrients and remove waste (like carbon dioxide) found in compact bone | Haversian Canals |
| formation of bone marrow | Myelopoiesis |
