Q

long bones

A

like the humerus and femur, they absorb stress and support body weight

18
Q

irregular bones

A

like the bones of the vertebrae, they vary in shape and structure

19
Q

sesamoid bones

A

round bones found near joints, like the patella

20
Q

open fracture

A

also known as a compound fracture, the broken bone ends pierce the skin

21
Q

greenstick fracture

A

partial break in a bone as a result of bending

22
Q

comminuted fracture

A

fracture in which the bone is splintered or crushed into 3 or more pieces

23
Q

impacted fracture

A

one end of a broken bone is driven into the other end

24
Q

osteoporosis

A

a condition in which overall bone tissue loss results in bone pain, tenderness, and brittle weak bones

25
sutures
non-moving joints that connect bones of the skull
26
hinge joints
like the elbow, hinge joints move on one axis and allow flexion and extension
27
ball and socket joint
like the hip and shoulder, this is a freely moving joint that can rotate on any axis
28
osteoarthritis
wear and tear from aging causes loss of joint cartilage, resulting in pain and inflammation as bones rub against each other without cushioning
29
scoliosis
sideways curvature of the spine, often into a c or s shape
30
herniated disc
the soft disc that cushions between vertebrae ruptures and the jelly-like center leaks out, irritating nearby nerves and causing sciatica and back pain
31
dislocation
an injury that occurs when the end of a bone is forced out of position
32
strain
stretching or tearing of muscle or tendon
33
bursa
a small fluid-filled sac that cushions the bones, tendons, and muscles near a joint
34
bursitis
inflammation of a bursa, often occurring from repetitive motion
35
OA
osteoarthritis
36
PET
positron emission tomography
37
C1-C7
cervical vertebrae
38
T1-T12
thoracic vertebrae
39
L1-L5
lumbar vertebrae
40
CPD
cephalopelvic disproportion (the head of the fetus is too large for the birth canal)
