Document Summary
Long bone: cancellous bone (spongy bone): typically found in the ends of long bone. Due to the stressors placed on long bone (joint surfaces) Requires greater movement and flexibility: medullary cavity, compact bone: external surface of bones; typically along the shaft. Dense; few pores of spaces: epiphyseal line. Same for the cranium and other flat bones: consists of compact bone and spongy bone, periosteum. Protection of vital tissues and organs: pelvis protects the reproductive organs, thorax protects the lungs and heart, cranium protects the brain. Divide the skeleton into 2 parts: axial skeleton. Bones of the cranial vault (8: components. Foramen magnum: where the spinal cord enters into the cranium. Ethmoid forms part of the nasal sinuses. Bones of the facial skeleton (14: maxilla(e) (2) Upper jaw: nasal bones (2, zygomatic bones (2) Teeth can be used for age estimation. Is connected to the cranium at one point only.
