| Location of blood formation | Medullary cavity |
| Part of the skull that surrounds the brain | Neurocranium |
| Part of the skull that makes up the face | Viscerocranium |
| Slightly movable joint in the vertebrae | Modified symphysis |
| Shock absorber in between the vertebrae | Intervertebral discs |
| Only fibrocartilage | True symphysis |
| Very flexible cartilage | Hyaline cartilage |
| Very strong cartilage | Fibrocartilage |
| Bones not on the median line - limbs | Appendicular skeleton |
| Bones along the median line | Axial skeleton |
| Bones that make up the shoulder - scapula, clavicle | Pectoral girdle |
| Appears solid | Compact bone |
| Appears spongy | Cancellous bone |
| Growth plate in bones - allows growth in length | Epiphyseal plate |
| Water - 25% - absorbs shock minerals - 45% - calcium and phosphorus organic matter - 30% - collagen | Bone composition |
| Bone stem cell - stimulated to differentiate | Osteoprogenitor |
| Bone builder - secretes collagen for matrix | Osteoblasts |
| Mature bone cells within the matrix | Osteocytes |
| Bone formation from tissue other than skeletal | Heteroplastic |
| Bone formation from cartilage | Endochondral |
| Bone formation without cartilage | Intramembranous |
| Pushes epiphysial away from diaphysis | Proliferation |
| Reshaping of bone in response to overloading | Bone remodeling |
| Ability of a muscle to respond to a stimulus | Excitability |
| Ability of a muscle to be stretched | Extensibility |
| Found only in the heart striated with a central nucleus and intercalated disks responsible for making the heart contract | Cardiac muscle |
| Red, white, or intermediate not branched and has no intercalated disks responsible for moving the skeleton | Skeletal muscle |

| Decreases joint angle | Flexors |
| Increases joint angle | Extensors |
| No action potential due to lack of ATP | Contracture |
| Specialized pacemaker cells controlled by the ANS | Cardiac contractions |
| Slower rate - less ATP - maintains tone with less energy | Smooth contractions |
