48
Q

Vertebral cavity

A

Space holding the spine

49
Q

Thoracic cavity

A

Space containing the heart and lungs

50
Q

Abdominal cavity

A

largest hollow space of the body, contains the spleen, stomach, liver, kidneys, small intestine, and most of the colon

51
Q

Pelvic cavity

A

Bowl-like structure, contains the bladder and reproductive organs

52
Q

Frontal bone

A

located in the forehead area

53
Q

Parietal bones

A

located in the upper middle section of the skull

54
Q

Temporal bones

A

located in the temple regions of the skull on either side

55
Q

Occipital bone

A

located on the back of the skull

56
Q

Nasal bones

A

located on the nasal area (nose bridge)

57
Q

Zygomatic bones

A

Cheekbones

58
Q

Maxilla

A

area above the lips and below the nose

59
Q

Mandible

60
Q

Compact bones

A

A hard and solid bones that makes up the outer later of all bones and the shafts of long bones

61
Q

Spongy

A

A porous bones found in animals containing red bone marrow

62
Q

Flat bone

A

consist of a layers of spongy bone between two thin layers of compact bone. They have marrow but no marrow cavity (Ex: parietal bones)

63
Q

Irregular bone

A

consist of thin layers of spongy bone surrounded by compact bone and do not fit any other bone descriptions (Ex: Thoracic vertebra)

64
Q

Long bone

A

consist of a shaft and two ends and it is longer than it is wide. It consists of a thick outside layer with a marrow-filled cavity. The ends of the bone contain spongy bone (Ex: humerus)

65
Q

Short bones

A

roughly a cube shape with vertical and horizontal dimensions being approximately equal. They consist of mostly spongy bone. The outside surface is a thin layer of compact bone. (EX: carpals)

66
Q

Osteoblasts

A

A bone-forming cell

67
Q

Osteoclasts

A

Any of the large multinucleate cells closely associated with areas of bone resorption (healing process)

68
Q

Cause and Effect

Bending

A

Transverse Fractures

69
Q

Cause and Effect

Twisting

A

Spiral fractures

70
Q

Cause and Effect

Impact

A

Comminuted fractures

71
Q

Bone Reformation

Hematoma Formation

A

Blood vessels that swell to form a mass called a hematoma. The blood clots the broken bones and reduces the blood supply to the injury, thus killing the cells.

72
Q

Bone Reformation

Fibrocartilage Callus Formation

A

New capillaries begin to form into the clotted blood in the damaged area. Connective tissue cells form a mass of repair tissue called fibrocartilage callus. It contains cartilage, bone, and collagen fibers. This mass closes the gap between broken bones

73
Q

Bone Reformation

Bony Callus Formation

A

The fibrocartilage callus is gradually replaced by one made of spongy bone, referred to as the bony callus. Osteoclasts and osteoblasts move to the area and multiply

74
Q

Bone Reformation

Bone Remodeling

A

Over time, the callus is remodeled. The shape will gradually return to normal and there wil be evidence of the fracture.
