Page 2: Skeletal Organization and Composition

This page focuses on the axial and appendicular skeleton composition and the mineral content of bones.

Definition: The axial skeleton comprises bones of the head, neck, back, and chest, while the appendicular skeleton includes limbs and connecting structures.

Highlight: Bone tissue consists of 65% inorganic minerals and 35% organic protein matrix.

Vocabulary: Hydroxyapatite - An insoluble salt composed of calcium and phosphorus that provides bone hardness.

The page elaborates on:

  • The relationship between axial and appendicular components
  • Detailed mineral composition of bones
  • The role of collagen in bone structure
  • Introduction to bone marrow types

Example: The shoulder girdle demonstrates how the appendicular skeleton connects to the axial skeleton for load transfer.

Axial and Appendicular Skeleton Composition

This section details the fundamental division of the skeletal system into two main components: axial and appendicular skeletons.

Definition: The axial skeleton comprises bones in the head, neck, back, and chest.

Highlight: The appendicular skeleton includes bones that attach to the axial skeleton - shoulders, pelvis, and limbs.

Example: The skull, laryngeal skeleton, vertebral column, and thoracic cage are part of the axial skeleton.


<p>Long bones serve the purpose of providing strength, structure, and mobility. The femur, or thigh bone, is an example of a long bone. Des

Bone Growth Patterns

The third page explores the two primary types of bone growth: longitudinal and appositional.

Definition: Longitudinal growth refers to lengthwise bone growth through ossification.

Vocabulary: Chondrocyte proliferation and endochondral ossification are key processes in longitudinal growth.

Highlight: Appositional growth continues throughout life, increasing bone diameter and thickness.


<p>Long bones serve the purpose of providing strength, structure, and mobility. The femur, or thigh bone, is an example of a long bone. Des

Vertebral Characteristics

This section focuses on specialized vertebrae and their unique features.

Definition: The atlas and axis are the top two vertebrae forming the skull-spine connection.

Highlight: The vertebral column consists of specific numbers of different vertebrae types:

  • 7 cervical
  • 12 thoracic
  • 5 lumbar
  • 5 fused sacral
  • 3-5 fused caudal coccyxcoccyx

Joint Classifications

Page five covers joints and their various types.

Definition: A joint articulationarticulation is where two or more bones meet.

Example: The six types of synovial joints include:

  • Hinge elbowelbow
  • Saddle carpometacarpalcarpometacarpal
  • Planar acromioclavicularacromioclavicular
  • Pivot atlantoaxialatlantoaxial
  • Condyloid metacarpophalangealmetacarpophalangeal
  • Ball and socket hiphip

Bone Markings

This page details various bone markings and their characteristics.

Vocabulary: Key bone marking terms include:

  • Tuberosity: Large rounded projection
  • Crest: Narrow ridge of bone
  • Trochanter: Large, blunt process
  • Tubercle: Small rounded projection

Highlight: These markings serve various purposes including muscle attachment and joint formation.

Page 1: Features and Classification of Bones

The first page delves into the comprehensive examination of features and functions of long bones and bone classification systems. The content explores various bone types and their distinctive characteristics.

Definition: Long bones are characterized by a shaft and two ends, being longer than they are wide, containing both compact bone and bone marrow.

Example: The femur thighbonethigh bone exemplifies a long bone's structure, demonstrating typical characteristics including a shaft and two ends.

Highlight: Long bones serve multiple crucial functions including strength provision, mobility facilitation, and mineral storage.

Vocabulary: Medullary cavity - The central cavity of long bones containing bone marrow.

The page also introduces four principal bone classifications:

  1. Long bones: Found in limbs, providing leverage for movement
  2. Short bones: Cube-shaped bones found in wrists and ankles
  3. Flat bones: Thin, curved bones primarily found in the cranium
  4. Irregular bones: Uniquely shaped bones like vertebrae

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Samantha Klich

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀
