ch 7 hw bone tissue questions Flashcards
the interior of flat bones is composed of ______ bone
spongy
bone dissolving cells on bone surfaces are called
osteoclasts
organic bone matrix
- collagen
- glycoproteins
- provides flexibility
- proteoglycans
- resists tensile (pulling) forces
- glycosaminoglycans
inorganic bone matrix
- hydroxyapatite
- provides hardness
- calcium carbonate
- resists compressive forces
properties of compact bone
- also called dense bone
- found in greater proportion in the bone diaphyses
- made up of osteons
- visible, obvious, central canals
properties of spongy bone
- found in greater proportions in bone epiphyses
- gaps between ossified material are filled with marrow
- composed of trabeculae
- arranged a long lines of force
- strong but light
- found in greater proportions in flat bones
identify the correct statements regarding the treatment of fractures
- most fractures are set by open reduction internal fixation (ORIF)
- traction is used to treat fractures of the femur in adults because it aids in the alignment of the bone fragments by overriding the force of the strong thigh muscles
- open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) involves surgically exposing the fractured bone and using plates, screws, or pins to realign the fragments
- hip fractures are usually pinned and early ambulation (walking) is encouraged because it promotes blood circulation and healing
- fractures that take longer than 2 months to heal may be treated with electrical stimulation which accelerates repair by amplifying the effects of parathyroid hormone
which of the following best describes osteomalacia
the softening of the bones in adults due to calcium depletion

absorbing or releasing alkaline phosphate and carbonate salts
osseous tissue matric is composed of
calcium phosphate
____________ is/are found in compact bone but not spongy bone
