Chapter 5-Quest 1 Flashcards
Cube-shaped
Short (carpals, tarsals)
Longer than wide
Long bone (femur, humerus)
Thin and flattened
Flat (skull, sternum)
Odd-shaped
Irregular (vertebra, scapular)
Near joints
Sesamoid (patella)
Shaft, compact bone
Diaphysis
Composes walls of diaphysis, dense and hard
Compact bone
Membrane that lines the diaphysis
Periosteum
Ends of bone made of spongy bone
Epiphyses
Open space, needle-like pieces
Spongy bone
Hyaline cartilage that lines epiphyses and absorbs shock
Articular cartilage
Growth plate
Epiphyseal plate
Remnant of growth plate
Epiphyseal line
Hollow region of diaphysis filled with red or yellow marrow
Medullary cavity
Fat in adults (type of marrow)
Yellow marrow
Blood cell formation in kids (type of marrow)
Red marrow
Mature bone cell
Osteocyte
Cavities in matrix where bone cells are found
Lacunae
Lacunae arranged in concentric circles
Lamellae
“Tiny canals” connect osteocytes to central canal
Canaliculi
(Haversian), opening for vessels/nerves
Central canal
Central canal, matrix rings, lamella, lacunae, osteocytes
Osteon
Perpendicular to shaft–communication to outside of bone
Volkmann’s canals
Bone-forming cells
Osteoblasts
Bone-destroying cells
Osteoclasts
Bone forms from connective tissue (face, cranial, bones, clavicles)
Intramembranous ossification
Bone replaces hyaline cartilage
Endochondral ossification
Factors that affect bone growth/development
Hormones, genetics, exercise
Bone breaks cleanly, closed fracture
Simple fracture
Bone protrudes through skin, open fracture
Compound fracture
Bone breaks into fragments, elderly brittle bones
Comminuted fracture
Bone is crushed, back bones; porous bones
Compression fracture
Broken bone is pressed inwards, skull fracture
Depression fracture
Broken bone ends are forced into each other, breaking falls (hips, outstretched arms)
Impacted fractures
Jagged break, twisting force, common in sports
Spiral fracture
Bone breaks incompletely, children (bones are more flexible)
Greenstick fracture
Fracture repair steps
- Fracture hematoma
- Internal callus
- External callus
- Internal and external calli meet
Fracture repair steps explained
- Blood filled swelling
- (48 hours after) forms cartilage matrix inside
- Hyaline cartilage and bone forms around break
- Remodeling occurs until no evidence of fracture remains
