Q

Osteoclasts

A

break bones to release calcium

28
Q

Facet

A

depression where another bone can sit ; not that deep

29
Q

Fossa

A

deeper indented surface in a bone

30
Q

Groove / Sulcus

A
  • A furrow in the bone surface that runs along the length of a vessel or nerve
31
Q

Foreamen

A

Hole in a bone through which a structure such as a blood vessel passes

32
Q

Canal/Meatus

A

Small passageways through bones

33
Q

Fissure

A

Elongated passageways ; like slits between bones

34
Q

Condyle

A

rounded knobs that form articulations with other bones

35
Q

Crest

A

A raised or prominent part of the edge of a bone

36
Q

Epicondyle

A

small projection on condyle that is a site of muscle attachment

37
Q

Head

A

Rounded end of bone that fits into fossa to form a joint

38
Q

Protuberance

A
  • Grows out the side
39
Q

Trochanter

A

Bony projections

40
Q

Tubercle/Tuberosity

A

Lumps to attach muscles

41
Q

Open Fracture (Compound)

A

fracture that causes the communication of the fracture and bone with the outside environment. There might be a hole in the skin.

42
Q

Closed Fracture (Simple)

A

a fracture that remains enclosed by the overlying skin, safer from infections

43
Q

Compression Fracture

A

Occurs when one or more bones in the spine weaken and crumpl

44
Q

Stress Fracture

A

Stress fractures are tiny cracks in a bone. They’re caused by repetitive force, often from overuse

45
Q

Avulsion Fracture

A

occurs when a small chunk of bone attached to a tendon or ligament gets pulled away from the main part of the bone.

46
Q

Greenstick Fracture

A

one side is broken and other in intact , these often occur in young children

47
Q

Transverse Fracture

A

fractured in half (90 degree ; it came perpendicular to bone)

48
Q

Comminuted Fracture

A

a fracture that has three or more fragments

49
Q

Impacted Fracture

A

a break where the ends are driven into each other

50
Q

Nondisplaced Fracture

A

The ends retain the normal position

51
Q

Displaced Fracture

A

The ends are out of normal alignment

52
Q

Why do bones have harder to treat infections?

A

The compact bone does not have blood flow so antibiotics cannot reach them. This is why open fractures require surgery because of risk of infection.

53
Q

Oblique Fracture

A

fracture at a slight angle

54
Q

Spiral Fracture

A

from twisting motion

55
Q

Epiphyseal

A

The epiphysis separates from the diaphysis along the epiphyseal plate.

56
Q

Longitudinal Fracture

A

fractures that occur along (or nearly along) the axis of the bone.

57
Q

Pathologic Fracture

A

e when force or impact didn’t cause the break to happen

58
Q

Reduction Treatment

A

realignment of broken bone ends

59
Q

Closed reduction

A

Physician manipulates to correct position

60
Q

Open reduction

A

surgical pins or wires secure ends

61
Q

Immobilization of Bones

A

Cast or traction is needed for healing

62
Q

Scoliosis

A

sideways curvature of the spine

63
Q

Ligament

A

connective tissue to hold together bone to bone

64
Q

Tendons

A

holds muscle to bone

65
Q

How much of your body mass does the skeleton account for?

A

20 percent
