Q

Ossification (and its two phases)

A

When bones develop using hyaline cartilage as their “model.”

Two phases: 1) Hyaline model is completely covered with bone matrix by osteoblasts.
2) The enclosed cartilage is digested away, opening up a medullary cavity within new bone.

Q

Appositional Growth

A

Osteoblasts in the periosteum add bone tissue to the external face of the diaphysis as osteoclasts in the endosteum remove bone from the inner face of the diaphysis wall.

When bone increases in diameter.

Q

Bones are remodeled continually in response to changes in two factors:

2) the pull of gravity and muscles on the skeleton

Q

Parathyroid Hormone (PTH)

A

Released by parathyroid gland when blood calcium levels drop below homeostatic levels

PTH releases osteoclasts to break down bone matrix and release calcium ions into the blood.

30
Q

Open reduction

A

Surgery is performed and the bone ends are secured together with pins or wires.

31
Q

Hematoma

A

Blood-filled swelling that is formed when blood vessels are ruptured, when the bone breaks.

32
Q

Fibrocartilage callus

A

With regards to bone repair, it is a mass of repair tissue, containing some cartilage matrix, some bony matrix, and collagen fibers.

33
Q

Bony callus

A

Made of spongy bone, and replaces fibrocartilage callus.

34
Q

Four steps to bone fracture repair:

A
  1. A hematoma forms.
  2. The break is splinted by a fibrocartilage callus.
  3. The bony callus forms.
  4. Bone remodeling occurs.
35
Q

Squamous sutures

A

Sutures connecting temporal and parietal bones.

36
Q

Cribriform plates

A

Allow nerve fibers carrying impulses from the olfactory (smell) receptors of the nose to reach the brain.

Part of the ethmoid bone.

37
Q

Crista galli

A

Part of ethmoid bone.

38
Q

Hyoid bone

A

Only bone in body that does not articulate with any other bone.

Serves as a movable base for the tongue and as an attachment point for neck muscles that raise and lower the larynx when we swallow and speak.

39
Q

Primary curvatures

A

Spinal curvatures in the thoracic and sacral regions present at birth.

40
Q

Secondary curvatures

A

Curvatures in cervical and lumbar regions that develop short time after birth.

41
Q

Scoliosis

A

When spine is deformed to the left or right

42
Q

Kyphosis

A

When the upper part of spine is arched more posteriorly

43
Q

Lordosis

A

When the lower part of spine is arched more anteriorly

44
Q

Projection (Muscle and Ligament): Process

A

Any bone prominence.

45
Q

Projection (Joint): Head

A

Bony expansion carried on a narrow neck.

46
Q

Projection (Joint): Facet

A

Smooth, nearly flat articular surface.

47
Q

Depression/Opening: Meatus

A

Canal-like passageway

48
Q

Depression/Opening: Fossa

A

Shallow, basinlike depression in a bone, often serving as an articular surface.

49
Q

Depression/Opening: Foramen

A

Round or oval opening through a bone.

50
Q

Comminuted Fracture

A

Bone breaks into many fragments

Common in older people, whose bones are more brittle.

51
Q

Compression Fracture

A

Bone is crushed

Common in porous bones

52
Q

Depressed Fracture

A

Broken bone portion is pressed inward

Typical of skull fracture

53
Q

Impacted Fracture

A

Broken bone ends are forced into each other

Commonly occurs when one attempts to break a fall with outstretched arms

54
Q

Spiral Fracture

A

Ragged break occurs when excessive twisting forces are applied to a bone.

Common sports fracture

55
Q

Greenstick Fracture

A

Bone breaks incompletely, much in the way a green twig breaks

Common in children, whose bones are more flexible than those of adults

56
Q

Three types of joints

A

Fibrous Joints
Cartilaginous Joints
Synovial Joints

57
Q

Three Types of Fibrous Joints

A

Suture
Syndesmosis
Gomphosis

58
Q

Two Types of Cartilaginous Joints

A

Synchondrosis

Symphysis

59
Q

Six Types of Synovial Joints

A 
Plane/Gliding
Hinge
Pivot
Condyloid/Ellipsoid
Ball and Socket
Saddle

Q

Sprain

A
  • Insert answer -
62
Q

Arthritis

A

Initial symptoms: pain, stiffness, and swelling of the joint.

The synovial membrane thickens and fluid production decreases, leading to increased friction and pain.

63
Q

Osteoarthritis

A

Chronic degenerative condition that typically affects the aged.

Affects articular cartilages. Over the years, the cartilage softens, frays, and eventually breaks down…
