16
Q

depression

A

break in cranial bone w/ depression of bone towards skull

17
Q

compression

A

fracture/break in vertebrae (osteoporesis)

18
Q

transverse

A

broken perpendicular to length

19
Q

oblique

A

bone broken @ an angle, complete break

20
Q

spiral

A

bone broken in twisted motion leading to fracture wrapping around bone

21
Q

greenstick

A

only part of bone broken, other side uninterrupted

22
Q

pathological

A

broken bc of underlying disease

23
Q

open fracture

A

bone broken through skin

24
Q

closed fracture

A

bone broken, skin intact

25
Q

osteoblasts

A

form new bone tissue

26
Q

osteoclasts

A

break down old bone tissue

27
Q
  1. hematoma formation
A

after fracture, blood vessels break & form clot @ injury site, triggering inflammation

28
Q
  1. fibrocartilage callus formation
A

body uses fibrous tissue & cartilage to bridge gap between broken bone ends. osteoblasts & clasts start turning fibrocartilage into bone

29
Q
  1. bony callus forming
A

body uses collagen & calcium phosphate to create a hard, bony structure to reinforce fracture side. osteoblasts help turn fibrous tissue into stronger bony callus

30
Q
  1. bone remodeling
A

body uses osteoblasts & clasts to modify @ refine newly formed bone tissue. osteoblasts deposit minerals onto bone surface & clasts reabsorb excess materials

31
Q

if blood calcium levels rise, __ is called

A

calcitonin (thyroid gland)

32
Q

if blood calcium levels are low, __ is called

A

PTH (parathyroid gland)
