Illium, ischium and pubis in children are separate bones, but in adults they are firmly united to form a cuplike structure called

acetabulum

At the ends of the long bones is a smooth, glossy tissue that forms the joint surgaces called

articular catrilage

The _________ bones, commonly known as the hip, is a large irregularly shaped bone.

innominate

Is a gelatinous substance and is composed of all of the cell protoplasm.

cytoplasm

The smaller of the two leg bones, is located on the lateral side of the leg, parallel to the tibia.

fibula

Toward the front, or ventral (pertaining to the belly; abdomen) side of the body.

anterior or ventral

Standard body position. Assumed when the body stands erect with the arms hanging at the sides and the palms of the hands turned forward.

anatomical position

Involves the physical and chemical breakdown of the food we eat into its simplest forms.

digestion

Are groups of specialized cells similar in structure and function

tissues

Viscid, jellylike substance, upon which depend all the vital functions of nutrician, secretion, growth, circulation, reproduction, excitability and movement of a cell

protoplasm

The lower five pairs of ribs are called

false ribs

Consists of meshwork of thin fibers that interlace in all directions, giving the tissue both elasticity and tensile strength. Its chief function is to bind parts of the body together. Found between muscles and as an outside covering for blood vessels and nerves.

Areolar connective tissue

The appendicular skeleton is composed of the bones of the

upper and lower extremities

Is the most complex tissue in the body. It is the substance of the brain, spinal cord, and nerves. Requires more oxygen and nutrients than any other body tissue.

Nerve tissue

Nearer the point of origin

proximal

Is the study of the structure of bone

osteology

Divide the body into anterior (front) and posterior (rear) sections.

Frontal planes or coronal planes

The _______, located at the inferior aspect of the sternum, serves as a landmark in the administration of cariopulmoary resuscitation.

xypohoid process.

2 main divisions of the human skeleton

axial and appendicular skeleton

3 categories of epithelial tissue:

columnar, squamous, and cuboidal

Is "fatty tissue," First appears star-shaped. Acts as a reservoir for energy-producing foods; helps to reduce body heat loss.

Adipose connective tissue

+

The ______ commonly called the collar bone, lies nearly horizontally above the first rib and is shpaed like a flat letter S.

Clavicle

Are cubical in shape and are found int he more highly specialized organs of the body, such as the ovary and the kidney. In the kidney, functions in the secretion and absorption of fluids.

cuboidal epithelia tissue

Toward the back, or rear, side of the body

posterior or dorsal

Is the process of absorption, storage, and use of these foods for body growth, maintenance and repair.

Metabolism

Is the longest bone in the body

Femur or thigh bone

Is the larger of the two leg bones and lies at the medial side

tibia or shin bone
