9. Several descriptions of bone structure are given below. Identify the structure involved by choosing the appropriate term from the key and placing its letter in the blank. Then, on the photomicrograph of bone on the right (365×), identify all structures named in the key and bracket an osteon. Key: a. canaliculi b. central canal c. concentric lamellae d. lacunae e. matrix 1. layers of bony matrix around a central canal 2. site of osteocytes 3. longitudinal canal carrying blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves 4. minute canals connecting osteocytes of an osteon 5. inorganic salts deposited in organic ground substance Alan Bell, Pearson Science

Match the key terms with the bone descriptions that follow. Key: (a) clavicle (b) ilium (c) ischium (d) pubis (e) sacrum (f) scapula (g) sternum $-(1)$ bone of the axial skeleton to which the pectoral girdle attaches $-(2)$ markings include glenoid cavity and acromion $-(3)$ features include the ala, crest, and greater sciatic notch $-(4)$ doubly curved; acts as a shoulder strut $-(5)$ hip bone that articulates with the axial skeleton $-(6)$ the "sit-down" bone $-(7)$ anteriormost bone of the pelvic girdle $-$ (8) part of the vertebral column

Use key choices to identify the bone descriptions that follow. Key: (a) carpals (b) femur (c) fibula (d) humerus (e) radius (f) tarsals (g) tibia (h) ulna $-(1)$ articulates with the acetabulum and the tibia $-(2)$ forms the lateral aspect of the ankle $-(3)$ bone that "carries" the hand $-(4)$ the wrist bones $-(5)$ end shaped like a monkey wrench $-(6)$ articulates with the capitulum of the humerus $-(7)$ largest bone of this "group" is the calcaneus
