CH 10: vocab Flashcards
Organic components- 40% dry weight of bone, collagen, proteoglycans, glycoproteins, and phospholipids
Bone matrix
Bone type: lamella
Normal bone
Bone type: woven, not stress oriented
Immature or pathologic bone
Bone type: mature lamellar
Cortical or Cancellous bone
Spongy or trabecular bone
Cancellous bone
When do fractures typically progress?
6 weeks
Constitutes 80% of adult skeleton
Cortical bone
Form bone; have increases endoplasmic reticulum, increased golgi apparatus, and increased mitochondria
Osteoblasts
Resorb bone; generally more rapid than bone formation
Osteoclasts
Constitutes 90% of mature skeleton; serve to maintain bone
Osteocytes
Compression side of bone is electronegative and stimulates osteoblasts; tension side of bone is electropositive and stimulates osteoclasts
Piezoelectric effect
Occurs long after fracture has healed clinically
Remodeling
Woven bone formed during the repair phase is replaced with lamellar bone; affected by mechanical function according to Wolff’s law; remodels in response to stress and responses to plezoelectric charges
Remodeling
Primary callus forms in about two weeks; soft callus involving endochondral ossification occurs if fracture is not in continuity; amount of callus is indirectly proportional to degree of immobilization; primary cortical healing occurs with immobilization and near-anatomic reduction
