Bone and Skeletal Tissues

Question 1

Cortical / Cortical Bone

Answer 1

The dense outer surface of the bone that forms a protective layer around the internal cavities

Question 2

Cancellous Bone

Answer 2

Spongy, porous, honey-comb like structures of the bone

Question 3

Ossification

Answer 3

Bone Formation

Question 4

Osteoblasts

Answer 4

Builds bone

Question 5

Osteoclasts

Answer 5

Removes bone

Question 6

Osteon

Answer 6

Vascular tunnel of the bone formed by osteoclast-rich tissue

Question 7

Short Bones

Answer 7

Cancellous in the center, compact recoating

Question 8

Flat Bones

Answer 8

Two thin layers of compact with cancellous in between them. Think sandwich

Question 9

Long Bones

Answer 9

Have bone marrow in the middle

Question 10

Basic Multi-cellular Unit (BMU)

Answer 10

Promotes bone remodeling in response the microcracks

Question 11

Hematoma formation

Answer 11

1st Step of bone repair. Forms a blood clot around the damaged bone

Question 12

Callus formation

Answer 12

2nd Step of bone repair. Tissues form on site, connecting the broken ends of the bone.

Question 13

Callus Ossification

Answer 13

3rd Step of bone repair. Cancellous bone starts forming in cracks

Question 14

Remodeling of bone

Answer 14

4th Step of bone repair. Fracture site is replaced by compact bone.

Question 15

Osteoporosis

Answer 15

Bone becomes spongy due to loss of bone mass. Cancellous sicko mode

Question 16

Wolff’s Law

Answer 16

Bone grows and remodels in response to force

Question 17

Hueter-Volkmann Principle

Answer 17

Increased static pressure on growth plates accelerates bone growth

Question 18

Frost Theory

Answer 18

Load rate and dynamic compressions stimulates bone formation

Question 19

Pauwels Theory

Answer 19

3D Strain Stress

Question 20

Carter Theory

Answer 20

Hydrostatic stress, maintaining cartilage, and octahedral shear promotes ossification
