Q

Describe Osteoprogenitor cells

A

cells that haven’t become a bone cell yet but will become bone cells.

18
Q

Describe Osteoblasts

A

Cells that make bone tissue by secreting osteoid

19
Q

Describe Osteoid

A

Osteoblast secretion that forms into hardened bone tissue

20
Q

Describe Osteocytes

A

mature cells within the bone that sense stress/strain within the bone

21
Q

Describe Osteoclasts

A

Cells that dissolve or breakdown bone

22
Q

Describe Osteon

A

the individual cylinders that run through the whole length of the bone

23
Q

Describe Haversian system

A

the system of osteons

24
Q

Central canal

A

Center of osteon where the nerves run through

25
Q

Describe Concentric lamellae

A

layers or rings around the central canal

26
Q

Describe Canaliculi

A

tiny channels that allow osteocytes to communicate with one another

27
Q

Describe Perforating canals

A

perpendiculars canals that run at a 90 degree angle and connect the central canals.

28
Q

What bone type is formed by Intramembranous ossification

A

Flat bones

29
Q

What bone type is formed by Endochondral ossification

A

Long bones

30
Q

Describe a comminuted fracture

A

A bone breaks in at least two places

31
Q

Describe a compression fracture

A

When a bone is crushed

32
Q

Describe a spiral fracture

A

An excessive twist causing the bone to break

33
Q

Describe an epiphyseal fracture

A

When the epiphysis disconnects from metaphysis

34
Q

Describe a depression fracture

A

Bone portion pressed inwards

35
Q

Describe a greenstick facture

Buckle fracture

A

Most common fracture.
Bone bends and cracks but doesn’t fully break

36
Q

Describe a stress fracture

A

Small fractures due to overuse which can lead to a broken bone.

37
Q

Descire a simple fracture

A

A bone is broken but doesn’t protrude through the skin

38
Q

Describe a compound fracture

A

A bone is broken and pierces the skin

39
Q

What are the the steps in the bone repair process

A

1- a fracture hematoma forms in the area of the fracture
2- a fibrocartilaginous (soft) callus forms.
3- a hard (bony) callus forms.
4- the bone is remodeled (changing the structure of the bone)

40
Q

Describe osteopenia

A

Not producing enough new bone to keep up with the old bone breaking down

41
Q

Describe osteoporosis

A

A decrease in bone mass where bones ecome very porous
