bone Flashcards
long bone
shaft, 2 ends, longer than wide, movement & structure
shaft bone
shaped like cube, mostly spongy bone, stability to wrist/ankle, & some movements
flat bone
layer of spongy bone between 2 thin compact bone layers, protects internal organs
irrecular
very in shape/size & have varying functions
spongy bone
balances compact bone by making bones lighter
epiphysial line
where growth of long bones happens
medullary cavity
hollow part of bone containing bone marrow
periosteym
membrane of blood (and other) vessels that surround bone, delivers blood & gives sense of feeling
compact bone
hard, dense layer of bones throughout the body, gives strength & protection to bones
yellow bone marrow
produces cartilage, fat, and bone, aid in adipose fat storage
red bone marrow
hematopoietic, stem cells that produce blood cells, found in flat bones like sternum & pelvic girdle
nutrient artery
part of periosteum, vessel providing blood & nutrients to bone
endosteum
layer after periosteum, membrane lining the inner surface of bony wall, helps bone grow, repair, and remodle
cartilage
surrounds ends of bone & cushions the space in joints where bones touch to protect them
comminuted fracture
shatters into multiple pieces
depression
break in cranial bone w/ depression of bone towards skull
compression
fracture/break in vertebrae (osteoporesis)
transverse
broken perpendicular to length
oblique
bone broken @ an angle, complete break
spiral
bone broken in twisted motion leading to fracture wrapping around bone
greenstick
only part of bone broken, other side uninterrupted
pathological
broken bc of underlying disease
open fracture
bone broken through skin
closed fracture
bone broken, skin intact
osteoblasts
form new bone tissue
osteoclasts
break down old bone tissue
- hematoma formation
after fracture, blood vessels break & form clot @ injury site, triggering inflammation
- fibrocartilage callus formation
body uses fibrous tissue & cartilage to bridge gap between broken bone ends. osteoblasts & clasts start turning fibrocartilage into bone
- bony callus forming
body uses collagen & calcium phosphate to create a hard, bony structure to reinforce fracture side. osteoblasts help turn fibrous tissue into stronger bony callus
- bone remodeling
body uses osteoblasts & clasts to modify @ refine newly formed bone tissue. osteoblasts deposit minerals onto bone surface & clasts reabsorb excess materials
if blood calcium levels rise, __ is called
calcitonin (thyroid gland)
if blood calcium levels are low, __ is called
PTH (parathyroid gland)
